False teacher Chuck “Jesus is not the only way” Currie took a break from taking little girls to gay pride parades to spread disinformation about how Contraception Reduces Abortion Rate.
It is a classically disingenuous move on his part. Pro-aborts like him pretend to want to reduce abortions, but everyone who supports the Democrats is explicitly in favor of taxpayer-funded abortions that will obviously increase the number of abortions (duh). So if they really wanted to reduce them then why take the money of pro-lifers by force to increase them?
And he ignores that half of abortions occur while women are on birth control. The rate of failure is highest for teens.
Reducing the number of abortions is a cause most people of faith share but not all people of faith believe women should have access to contraception – some believe such access should be difficult or even illegal.
That is a straw-man argument. Just because we didn’t buy Sandra Fluke’s nonsense doesn’t mean we want birth control to be illegal. She’s a 31 yr. old law student managing to finance a $50,000 /yr. education and she can’t get her boyfriends to pool $10/month for birth control? It was one of the most Prozac-inducing parts of the campaign watching so many people side with her. Is it so hard to see the difference between access and forcing others to pay?
And isn’t it just possible that all the great pro-life laws (ultrasounds, informed consent, parental notification, etc.) put into place have helped reduce abortions? Remember that pro-aborts strenuously oppose all of those.
Such thinking increases the need for abortion. Groups like the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice work to promote contraception. We need more voices joining with RCRC.
The RCRC is all about abortion. “Reproductive Choice” is a fallacious term, as all abortions kill humans who have already been reproduced.
At the same time, faith communities need to be fighting hard for quality sex education in our public schools and to be providing such education in our churches. A great resource for churches is the Our Whole Lives curriculum developed by the United Church of Christ and Unitarian Universialist Association.
I can only imagine what perversities that Chuck and the Unitarians have cooked up for these poor young people. Remember, Chuck is so eager to show how “progressive” he is that he uses his 6 yr. old daughters as props to take to gay pride parades. That’s sick, but he is a perfect picture of the “Christian” Left (Read: Wolves in sheep’s clothing).
Run, don’t walk, from false teachers like this and the denominations that support them.

Hi Kathy,
Pro-life reasoning is simple and accurate: It is a scientific fact — http://tinyurl.com/yfje8lq — (and basic common sense) that a new human being is created at fertilization. There is nothing “potential” about it. She is a human being at a particular stage of development.
It is simple moral reasoning that it is wrong to take the life of an innocent human being without proper justification, and that is what happens during 99% of abortions. The situations surrounding abortions are psychologically complex (pressures on the mother to abort, economic concerns, etc.) but morally simple (you don’t kill unwanted humans outside the womb for those reasons, so you shouldn’t kill them inside the womb for those reasons). Their size, level of development, location and degree of dependency are not reasons to ignore their right to life.
Many could, by your definition. Then again, infants couldn’t live outside the womb with support and hopefully you don’t consider them fair game for destruction as well.
Woman, no. Doctor, yes.
Yikes! That is completely anti-science and would justify murder outside the womb. Casey Anthony would love your defense.
Again, that is anti-science. Abortion kills innocent but unwanted unique human beings.
If you want to milk the Ireland tragedy, go ahead, but perhaps you should read up on all the deaths of mothers resulting from your beloved “safe” abortions — http://realchoice.blogspot.com/

I think you and God have different views on what constitutes a human being. As for a woman being raped, there is a little something called vigilantism. American law punished it and so does God. “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.” Rom 12:19 NIV 1984. “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” Just because someone does a person wrong by raping them, doesn’t mean that person has the right to take the life of another innocent human being.
Think about it. This unborn child has never committed a sin and has never done anything wrong. They are completely innocent. In Christianity there was only one who was born and never committed any sin, and his death was so powerful that it can take away the sins of the whole world.

I could support a no abortion policy after two months pregnancy except in cases of rape, incest or endangerment of mother’s life. I don’t immediately think of abortion as murder, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Again, I was not asking you to defend your position as much as I was asking-how do you come to this position? I am trying to understand from your point of view. It was pretty insulting to bring up Casey Anthony who is obviously the sickest form of human being, a parent who kills their own child.

That would be a start! I don’t see why the child of the rapist should die for his father’s crimes, but I’ll take any abortion restrictions I can. And incest is usually rape, by the way, and abortion hides the crime, courtesy of Planned Parenthood et al — overview http://tinyurl.com/6krdj4p .
Thanks for asking. I do appreciate that. I used to be nominally pro-choice until I learned more about the science and logic of the pro-life position. I also became a Christian and realized that Jesus is the author of life, and we are to protect innocent life.
And I wasn’t trying to be mean by bringing up Anthony. I was merely making a parallel: She no longer wanted that dependent child, so she killed her. If Casey would have had an abortion all the people screaming at her and harassing the jurors would have never said a word. The only difference was that the child was larger, more developed and in a different location, none of which change her value.

I find it hard to think of abortion as “murder”. To me the embryo is a potential human being, it is not a human being yet, it is not a baby. Can it exist outside the womb? Would you put a woman who has an abortion or a doctor who performs an abortion in prison for murder? When you are pregnant, your hopes and dreams and anticipation of the birth affect your frame of mind and you think of this possible or potential child as a fully formed human being, but that is not the case. If you want to talk about the sanctity of life, a virus is alive, bacteria is alive, does being a “life” mean we may never interrupt it’s development? Because something has the potential to become human must we preserve it? What about a woman or man practicing birth control, are they not taking away possible human life? I could never tell a woman who has been raped, or as in Ireland recently, would lose her life if the pregnancy continued, (which is exactly what happened by the way), that she must continue with her pregnancy because of my religious beliefs.

Basic common sense, no matter where you fall on the abortion debate: if it’s legal to abort a baby/embryo/zygote for reasons other than to save the mother’s life, then it shouldn’t be murder (although it would still be aggravated assault) for someone else to kill that child against the mother’s will.

One more thing. Christians love to talk about the fact that Jesus gave us a choice, that God gives us a choice, whether or not to believe in him.

Isn’t that what you do when you try to legislate your own definition of morality? I think we can all agree that murder is wrong, but I think it is a much murkier issue when it comes to abortion. It is not clearly murder to many people in this country. Isn’t making abortion illegal insisting that the country believe as you?

He follows an entire organization call the RELIGIOUS Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and they are supported by apostate denominations such as the United Methodists. Given all that, please tell me about how you have criticized pro-choice “Christians” for “forcing” their pro-choice religious views on other people. If you have any evidence of that, you’ll be the first pro-choicer I’ve ever met who has.
You are conflating the choice to trust in Jesus as your Savior with the choice to kill an innocent but unwanted human being. Those seem a little different to me.
Are you against pedophilia? I am, on religious grounds. Do you oppose my insisting that people not be allowed to treat children that way? I’m also against beating up atheists and taking their stuff, but do I have to vote the opposite because those views align with the Bible?
Simply put, the “I think abortion is wrong but don’t want to force my beliefs . . .” is sloppy thinking at best and more likely cowardice.
100% of “successful” abortions kill an innocent but unwanted human being. I don’t see the murkiness. Yes, the psychological factors influencing abortion (pressure from boyfriends/parents, economic concerns, etc.) are complex but morally speaking it is very simple. You can’t kill human beings outside the womb for those reasons, so why should you be able to inside?

I think the very minute percentage of those who believe in honor killings are from a completely different cultural and religious upbringing who moved here from another country and of course we should NOT EVER embrace their belief system. The thing about the abortion issue is that no one is insisting someone who doesn’t want an abortion to have one, the whole idea is that some women will choose that route as much as you or I might not like it, and they have a right to a safe procedure. If we make it illegal again, women will once again seek out practitioners in back alleys or try to abort themselves. Personally I would love for every women who wants an abortion to change her mind and choose adoption, but I know for a fact not every woman will do that. I am still processing all this as I said, thanks again for the feedback.

Hi Kathy — regarding the “right to a safe procedure” — that argument, along with nearly all pro-legalized abortion arguments, ignores the human being destroyed during the abortion. I encourage pro-choicers to always think about that before making any arguments for their side. If your point doesn’t adequately complete this sentence, it probably isn’t a good argument: “Because of ______ [the mother’s safety, etc.], it is OK to pay a third party to crush and dismember an unwanted human being.”
Some might, though the last CDC stats before Roe v Wade showed that the figure was far less than 100 for the entire country. And as noted above, that argument doesn’t consider how many lives would be saved. And it ignores how many unsafe abortions still occur (http://realchoice.blogspot.com/) — probably more, because before doctors had to be more careful. Finally, the law should first protect the innocent and not make it “safer” to commit crimes.
That is good. Have you ever visited a Crisis Pregnancy Center / Pregnancy Resource Center? They seek to do just that, at no cost to the mothers. I think you’d appreciate their work. More here — http://tinyurl.com/2bv5k4m

It cracks me up when these aging honeys lecture me about manners, civility, and how to think, when it’s pretty darn clear that they are embarrassed by being challenged by someone younger than them.
Sorry for not putting up with it any longer. Something about being in my thirties and an attorney, I just have no desire to be treated like anything but an adult.

I am never embarrassed by being challenged by someone younger. Age is irrelevant.
