 knn: I don't know whether people get the topic of this thread:
It's NOT about abortion. It's about the counter-effects of Christians. I have renamed this topic now. if you want to post something about abortion go to IMO → Partial Birth Abortions are Back Sorry, it just seemed to have gone into general abortion so I thought it would be ok. I'll wander over to the other one then. posted by bluewolf |

stinkz: bluewolf: I personally am not putting my life on hold That's what it comes down to, every time: Selfishness. So? edit: I have no issue with selfishness. For me, it's a practical choice. For you, it's hypothetical. I hate to be sexist, but it's true. And how many kids have you adopted lately? =/ er, I don't want to get into trouble for being offtopic again so maybe I'll leave it at this? *gets confused* posted by bluewolf |

 stinkz: Where do you get this imaginary line between zygote = clump of cells, and baby = human being? Are you not also just a large, differentiated clump of cells? Listen, Christianity-indoctrinated clump of cells, I sure know the difference better than you, because I am a woman to start with, which presupposes it's me who will/won't chose to get pregnant/abort. That's not an imaginary line. After all, until the foetus is three months old, it is not even sure that it is capable of surviving as a foetus. It has no biological life of its own, it is a part of it's mother's body. stinkz: You can still be for moral teaching in schools, and not in the government, if schools are privatized. Still, I will never agree that school will ever compare in influence with your own family and parents. To keep this post on-topic: I don't agree with the new name (or is it just my impression that this thread was renamed?) of the thread. Christianity doesn't necessarily increase the rate of abortions. Stupidity and uneducatedness does. After all, Christians use fastening as a means of birth control. UK has high and even rising abortions rate, especially among teans - and I don't have an impression that UK is very Christian. And they do spend money on sex education. The latest figures show that abortions among those under the age of 16 increased from 3.7 per 1,000 to 3.9.
The overall number of women who had an abortion in England and Wales increased by 3.2% last year, according to Department of Health figures. Anti-abortion campaigners have condemned the increase. Patrick Leahy, director of Student LifeNet, said: "We are absolutely appalled by the massive rise in the under-16 abortion rate from 3.7 to 3.9 in one year. "This represents an unbelievable 5.4% increase - even higher than the 3.2% increase in the total number of abortions. "This rise comes despite the millions of pounds the Government has put into cutting the teenage conception rate." Julia Millington, spokeswoman for the Prolife Party, said the figures were "horrifying". "With increased availability of contraception and the morning-after pill so widely promoted, one would have expected to see a very significant drop in the actual recorded abortion figures, not to find that the totals have reached this tragic all time high," she said.  posted by mymla |

I don't agree with the new name (or is it just my impression that this thread was renamed?) of the thread. Christianity doesn't necessarily increase the rate of abortions. The name was recently changed. No Christianity directly does not increase abortion rates. It's the backflash after decades of Christian indoctrination that increases abortion rates. So the countries which are Muslim now can expect an increase in a few years/decades. posted by knn |

As a Christian, I believe there is nothing wrong with teenagers having sex. There is something wrong with society snubbing their nose up at these teens. The world says, "don't have sex until you get married even if your body is ready for it, and you can't get married until you're 22." From a christian stand point, Paul said if you can't resist having sex you should get married. This statement in at of itself implies, for some people, it is impossible to resist having sex. Where did christians get the idea that people are supposed to wait until they are 22 to get married, and then they can have sex. The bible doesn't say that. I believe as a society we set our expectations too high for those teenagers who have a high sex drive. It is natural and human to want sex and to ask some people to resist this is unnatural. Sure their are some people who might have a low sex drive who can skip out on sex for their entire lives. Those people should be priest. However, not everyone is built the same. Therefore, as a society we should be more supportive of teenagers who have sex. As Christians, I believe it is our duty to become more accepting of students who want to get married or at least encourage students who want to have sex to get married. After all that is what the bible says. posted by ninny50 |

in britain, we generally see the republicans as slightly backwards and biggoted anyway. i don't think many people judge their personal stance on whether or not to get an abortion on politics. they go by what they feel is right. posted by sam1986 |
