So, Dawn has three daughters. She's not exactly FOR abortions, but she doesn't rule them out since it's a theoretical possibility that if one of them were to be raped, they would turn up pregnant... and so she's certainly not against abortion, either.
THEN... I get into a debate about abortion with someone online about how all these holy rollers are against abortion... well, uh... let's just see here. Let's take a look at... THE BIBLE.
This is old testament, but the same twisted crap. The Law in Exodus 21.22ff. further confirms that in the Bible a fetus is not considered to be a living human: "Whenever men struggle with each other and strike a pregnant woman so that she miscarries but there is no harm; he shall be severely fined according to that which the husband of the woman shall impose upon him and he shall pay as the judges decide. (23) If there is harm, you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, bruise for bruise, blow for blow." Here, only harm to the woman is considered, since the aborted fetus would be dead. Thus, the fetus is not regarded as a human life. .....Old testament says killing a fetus is not murder.
So. As we all know, the Christians AND the Jews both put stock into the Old Testament. So, like, there you go.
I think abortion is okay UP UNTIL a certain point. After like, 3 or 4 months, it's too late. Before that, do it if you absolutely must.
Meh, it's still a topic for debate amongst many. At any rate... stuff
