it is just hypocritical to say it is not alive . . in issues of abortion but it is alive in murder trials Rocket River
I would like to ask a hypothetical question(s). Not to further the debate or sway the dialogue, but to gain understanding for those who also hold religious views in this debate (like me). I ask those who are pro-abortion to respond. I ask you to assume/not believe (as faulty as these may sound) 3 things- Assumptions- 1. There is a supreme God who will judge my life after my death. 2. This God views abortion as wrong and equal with murder. 3. I advocate and support abortion. Now here is my question(s)- On this day of my judgment how do I change God's mind about this so as to escape His judgment? How do I logically explain that I believed the first two assumptions and yet I also chose the third assumtion? I really an not asking for an attack on the hypothetical question or the assumptions (I don't mean this facetiously) , I am thinking this through myself to see what explanations I might use.
