I'm through with my homework for tomorrow :) Not only that, I have to leave in about 10mins for a meeting with Crusaders for Life, the on-campus Pro-Life group. I'm pro-life, so I figure I'll check it out, see what it's all about, what they do etc. Then at 8 there's this thing on modesty the Catherine Hall, I hope it doesn't run in too much with

But what about instances of rape? That's not two people coming together--that is one person imposing himself/herself on another.

Debating abortion is something that will never ever EVER end. I could go on for hours and hours making up new arguments and refining old ones and still the opponents will be able to hold strong. And vice versa, of course. It's so controversial! I just wanted to hear your reasoning behind this some more. :)

Well, see your rivals are called pro-CHOICE not pro-abortion. I just think women should have the choice to do what they want with their bodies because as long as the fetus is in there, it is STILL their body and no one else's business. That's what I believe of course. I mean, think of instances where the baby could be deformed or it could pose a serious health risk to the mother. What about in instances where it is either the fetus or the mother? Is abortion okay then? (That's not meant to be a challenging sort of question. I just want to hear your thoughts, again. ;) )

So natural conception to natural death? So you don't believe in in vitro fertilization?

Oh, and I don't believe in the death penalty either. Enough death has resulted. Do we need to add to the cycle? I know California still has the death penalty and that's just sad.

You are right when it comes to posing a threat of rape or a threat of losing the mother's life. In those cases the church is usually understanding of that. However, in some cases of rape, I don't know. I remember freshman year we watched this woman speaker who said she was the daughter of a rape victim, that she of course never knew her father, but despite the act, her mother decided to give her life.

It's a tough subject though. I used to say it is a woman's body and she has a right, but as I grew older, just the thought of getting rid of something inside you...it's just a horrible thought for me, because you could never know what that life could have been.
