Number 9 (cue echo and fade: number 9...number 9...number 9...) was
going to be the last of this series but after seeing the
(un)believable stupidity of the theist contributions, particularly in
#9, it turns out that there is yet one more needed - perhaps the most
important one of all.
Not one theist attempted to address the actual point of this series,
which is not abortion, but the *hypocrisy* of the so-called pro-life
crowd.
Instead of addressing the topic, these fundamental cowards, liars,
hypocrites and morons resorted to their standard, unthinking, knee-
jerk herd response.
This typifies their behavior, and was, of course, no surprise at all.
They're not even pretending to adhere to the supposed premises of
Christianity. So let's take this ball into their court, shall we?
What does the Bible say about abortion?
The short answer is *nothing*. The Judaists did not agonize over when
a person became a person, or blindly declare it to be at the point of
conception. They had no clue what conception was, let alone when it
took place! Neither had they any idea of genes, gametes, zygotes,
embryos, fetuses, and so on.
The men placed little or no value on the female except as a means to
generate more males. She was never a true companion or even a mind to
them. She was either fair or she was worthless.
Quite literally nothing in the Bible ascribes any worth to "family
values", especially right at the root, which is the most important
place - on the need to get to know a person and fall in love with them
before a child is even considered.
And now these pathetic, lying two-faced hypocrites try to claim it's
god's will? These people who swallow whole a fantastic fairytale of
trading in women try to pretend they have family values? That the
Bible "teaches" that premarital sex is wrong?
Biblical men quite literally thought the female was nothing but dirt -
a garden in which they planted their "manly seed" which would then
flower into a man-child.
Of course, if this persistently failed, it was never the fault of the
seed, but of the dirt. The woman was *barren* - land that wouldn't
grow crops, and therefore worthless. But they could always go get
another piece of land by fair means or foul.
The Judaists thought menstruation was filth and women who experienced
it were effectively ostracised until they were "all better" and
"clean".
To them, a child was dead until their god breathed his spirit into it
- which was when it took its first breath upon appearing outside the
womb. Prior to that, it was a worthless non-entity and it pretty much
stayed that way if it was a female. Males fared little better until
they turned 13, which was old enough to start thinking of owning a
woman of their own.
And as we see, these rugged guys thought nothing of literally
sacrificing a child to their bloodthirsty god. There were no pro-
lifers in the OT. There was no love in the OT.
And what of modern so-called pro-lifers? Well, they wouldn't have the
first clue about what life is or when it begins if it were not for the
hard work of scientists of all faiths and no faith. Without science,
they would still be thinking a child is dead until it draws its first
breath.
The Bible writers made their (or - if you like to be insanely gullible
- their god's) position on children crystally clear right away - in
Genesis 6 - when this god of theirs destroyed every child on the
planet without a second's thought. You could argue that he planned it
that way before he even created Earth. Fortunately, it's all a myth.
The Bible writers amplified their god's total disdain for children in
Genesis 19, when not even one child was fit to salvage from Sodom &
Gomorrah, and daughters were evidently completely valueless except as
bribes for angry mobs.
They further exemplified their complete lack of a pro-life attitude in
Exodus 12 when the first-born of every family was slain.
The Old Testament contains a testament to the worthlessness of life
(in "Yahweh"'s view) in almost every book. Job lost every child he
had. They were meaninglessly and brutally slaughtered for no reason
whatsoever *except to settle a bet* between a god and his adversary.
Quite literally (if you believe these fairy tales) tens of thousands
of men women and children were deliberately and brutally massacred by
the Hebrews at their god's demand, request or with his approval. This
is no surprise. Their god actually deliberately created evil - and we
all know why, don't we?
The ultimate disregard for the value and worth of life is the very
foundation of Christianity. Yahweh rapes a young girl for no other
reason than to slaughter her child. To save lives! LoL!
Christianity is the ultimate in hypocrisy, so why is it any surprise
at all that Christians are fundamentally and overwhelmingly hypocrites
when it comes to the question of ETP?

Abortion was in issue in Jewish law. The ancient Jews would have had a
concept of conception and of the fetus developing over time inside the
mother, although of course not the same as the modern scientific
concepts of these things.
I think you might be right that the Bible does not actually deal with
abortion, but certainly it was an issue in Jewish law which the rabbis
had to deal with and their attitude towards it was more restrictive
than the attitude enshrined in law today in most democracies.

Those who are complete and utter dickheads and morons will quote Mat
25:31-46, claiming abortion is banned as a mortal sin. Of course,
they're liars and idiots because that passage has nothing whatsoever
to do with abortion, nor does it mention it or even hint at it. And
furthermore, it's complete overridden by the vicious disregard for
child welfare in other parts of that same book:
"And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!" (Mat 24:19)"
"Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were
in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under..." (Mat 2:16)
"But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Mat 8:12)
"And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father
the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and
cause them to be put to death." (Mat 10:21)
"And every one that hath forsaken...children...for my name's sake,
shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life" (Mat
19:29)
You may also note that the theists who haunt these fora are such
pathetic cowards and vacuous dimwits that not a single one of them can
find the guts or the wherewithal to step forward and address the
material in the opening message of this thread.
That's the poverty of spirit and culture that we're dealing with in
the abortion question and Christianity.

That's my point (or one of them!). If there really were a god and the
Jews were his chosen race (yes, the Biblical god was racist too!),
you'd think they'd be a teensy-bit more clued in than the Bible
writers evidently were!

I think you might be right that the Bible does not actually deal with

Well apart from the Taryag mitzvot, the halakha has nothing to do with
the Bible as far as I'm aware - it was all made up later. And not a
single one of the ten commandments specifically addresses the unborn
since they didn't consider the unborn to be alive until they came out
and took that first breath.
Their laws are hypocritical too, for that matter - that it's okay to
abort in some circumstances but not in others.
But the impression I get from them is that, as long as you don't steal
a fetus, have sex with it, eat it while it's still alive, worship it
or blaspheme about it, you're not really sinning under their laws!
On another note, I see Duck & Run felt it necessary to display both
his cowardice and his profound stupidity in one of these threads
again. No surprises there. He's just like a puppet on a string,
isn't he? And a pretty limp one at that.

The purportedly pro-life theist crowd (coward is an anagram of "a
crowd") once again have shown their true colors and avoided even the
pretense that they can rebut even ten supported accusations that the
pro-life theists are hypocrites.
So let's nudge this a little further into their territory, shall we?
Mike the Mad Biologist at www.scienceblogs.com/
http://tinyurl.com/2xg9gr
has a very interesting piece titled: "The Lancet Supports Legal, Safe,
and Rare Abortion" where he quotes from July 28th edition of British
medical journal _The Lancet_:
"...Irrespective of an individual's viewpoint, the debate over
abortion in Latin America cannot be ignored. In Brazil, which has the
world's largest Roman Catholic population, abortion is only permitted
after rape or to save a mother's life. Yet every year 1=C2=B74 million
women undergo the procedure, terminating one in three pregnancies.
Almost 250 000 Brazilian women seek treatment in public hospitals for
subsequent complications, even though this action may make them liable
for prosecution for performing or consenting to an abortion. Across
the continent, 3=C2=B78 million women underwent such unsafe abortions in
2000, resulting in 12% of the region's maternal mortality.
"The burden of unsafe abortion is borne disproportionately by the
poor, the disadvantaged, and the young. Each year there are an
estimated 210 million pregnancies worldwide. One in five women will
choose an abortion. Over three-quarters live in developing countries,
where 97% of the estimated 20 million annual unsafe abortions are
done. A quarter of the women are aged 15-19 years. 68 000 women die
from unsafe abortions and 5=C2=B73 million are left with temporary or
permanent disabilities. In Kenya, where abortion is legal only to save
a mother's life, the 300 000 unsafe abortions every year account for
50% of maternal mortality. High death rates from unsafe abortion are
also seen in refugee settings. Clearly, Millennium Development Goal 5,
to reduce the maternal mortality rate by three-quarters before 2015,
is unlikely to be achieved without abolishing unsafe abortion.
"A woman's decision to seek an abortion arises from many complex
factors, including failures in preventive health-care provision and
social support. Hence there is a need for a respectful and
comprehensive debate informed by all who have a genuine interest in
improving public health, reducing poverty, and achieving gender
equity. Because reasons leading to abortion are many, so are the
opportunities for harm reduction--with valuable roles to be played by
those of any ideology.
"Examples of ways forward are given in the World Bank's
discussion paper, Population issues in the 21st century, published on
July 19, in which the Bank regards financial and physical access to
effective contraception as essential for economic security. The report
finds that negative attitudes to women create barriers to receiving
reproductive health services, particularly among adolescents. The Bank
calls on governments and donors to honour their commitments to family
planning, so that services can be expanded to meet people's needs, to
empower women, and to address unsafe abortion and highlight its
dangers.
"Providing women with a choice of contraceptive services reduces
demand for abortion. If contraception were provided to the 137 million
women estimated to want contraception, but who lack access, maternal
mortality could fall by an additional 25-35%, and improved maternal
health would benefit child survival. In the Netherlands, where
contraception is both freely available and openly discussed, the need
for abortion is below ten per 1000 women. Around the world, aggregate
patterns show that contraceptive accessibility is inversely
proportional to abortion rates.
"Although accessible contraception and safe abortion are a start,
additional steps are required. Pregnant women need to be reassured
that society will respect their decision:: whether it be abortion,
adoption, or raising a child perhaps as a single parent. Attitudes to
motherhood at a young age, to non-nuclear families, and to children
influence this choice, as do practical measures to affirm support
during pregnancy and afterwards.
"Former President Bill Clinton argued that abortion should be
'legal, safe, and rare', but for many of the world's most vulnerable
women it remains illegal, unsafe, and common. Making abortion illegal,
starving development agencies of funds to promote all forms of
contraception, or suppressing discussion by fear will not cause the
problem of abortion to disappear. Instead, it is time to remove the
gag and ensure that all women have access to safe, which means legal,
abortion."
Making abortion illegal doesn't prevent it, even in heavily
Catholicised countries. It simply makes it more deadly.

Not if: a) Men and women lead chaste lives, keeping sex as something

You're just an anti-sex pervert who want everybody to be as twisted as you.
Sex is a gift from God. Why do you hate God?

Incidentally, there are other reasons why the Catholic church is

They need something to use to make people feel guilty.

According to a bunch of celibate men who have never had sex and never
been married and haven't the first clue about marital intimacy.
