Abortion

Im Pro-choice. Its a womens body she can do what she wants. I think you should only be allowed to have one abortion. Too many people get pregneat over and over and over again and keep getting abortions.
 
Eh, I think it should be a choice that the woman should make, but limitations need to be applied. Too many people abuse the system, I agree to the post above.

If a child cannot be properly raised by the parent, what's the good of bringing it into the world and having it live a hard life?

That is when adoption comes into play.
 
Um, if a baby has serious issues with it that will make it's life miserable abortion is right.

For instance, I know someone who was pregnant but had their baby tested before birth and it turned out it would have constant seizures, feet shaped like a rocking horse's legs, almost totally blind, several other deformities, and will only live to be around 2 years old.

Abortion is totally acceptable in some cases but shouldn't be used as birth control.

But still, as a Catholic I believe that everything happens for a reason. That baby could actually be quite lucky, given that he never has a chance to commit sin. I mean, is it not worth it to suffer for a couple of years in order to gain heaven for eternity?

You might not share the same beliefs as me, but being a Traditional Catholic really shows me the good in everything.
 
Guys...you do realize we have a debate sub-board, don't you? :P

I'm totally against abortion, it's murder.

Ah, there's where we differ.

Well, the person who got the abortion grew up Catholic so in your views they would go to Hell than. And they are someone very close to me I love very much, so there's no way I would every practice Catholicism.

Not even sure what religion I truly practice. Guess I grew up more Christian but eh, haven't gone to church for 6+ years and am very thankful for that.
 
No, they wouldn't go to hell. Catholicism teaches that no sin that can possibly committed can't be forgiven. So if she is truly sorry for her sin and goes to confession, she'll be forgiven.

I feel sort of the same way being pretty much half-parttme-maybe-Christian. :P
 
Unfortunately that happens to alot of people once they get older and start a family... but that still doesn't mean that she's automatically going to hell.

Yes but if she isn't Catholic anymore than Catholicism's "rules" wouldn't apply to her anymore so it wouldnt matter at all, now would it?

Sort of agree with that.

I just am not really religious so it's all really not something I think about much at all.

Real life is much more important; the here and now. At least for me. ;D

No they would still apply. This isn't some kind of league change. :P
 
Honestly, you guys saying that hell is just a way to scare people into religion sounds more like denial to me. Also, isn't heaven and hell the whole point of religion? :P
