There is no moral contradiction in saving the life of an innocent unborn while approving of legally prescribed death for a criminal.
Then you're in favour of executing women who have abortions?

No.
Why not? If abortion is murder and it's okay to execute murderers then how is it not okay to execute somebody who commits murder?

There are no word games involved. If abortion is murder and it's okay to execute murderers, how is it not oaky to execute a murderer?
Your position seems to be self-contradictory. Kindly explain more clearly.

Stop projecting stuff on me.
I'm not projecting anything on you. I asked a simple question. If you'd reply properly in the first place instead of being so combative I wouldn't have to use a crowbar to pry an honest answer out of you.

I'm not stuck on the word "murder," I mean KILLING A HUMAN BEING in a formative stage, and murder is the usual term for ending a human life; and I clearly said in a recent post that I put the mother's life above the child's. I'm also not stuck on "human being" I've said many times I'm talking about the inevitability of its becoming a human being so that if you kiil it you are ending a human life.
Thanks. We're actually on the same page about abortion but it might help if you used words correctly instead of right-wing rhetoric.

Re: when does personhood begin revisited
Faith writes:
There may be an early stage of purely physical formation before the soul is infused by God. Nobody knows that.
The Levites had an app for that:
quote:
Exodus 21:20-22 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
"In God's eyes" the unborn child seems to be treated as the father's property.
