Gosnell GUILTY of Murder......as it should be

[MrSplitshot]

Well said. I have looked at this topic as yes or no with no gray area for the longest time and to me that's thinking with my heart. When I ask myself about special conditions like rape, incest, major birth defects or harmful to the mother it makes me pause and think with my head.
There has to be exceptions because it would be crazy to allow a mother to possibly die to have a baby born that may die as well during birth and from there it can be what if'd to death. So I'm torn on the subject as well..... If you bring Gods will into it then it's easy as no abortion but I still can't understand his will in this or alot of things. I try but I can't and that's a struggle I live with daily.
I don't agree with the extreme case of this so called Doctor that's for sure.

I do struggle with this one...no doubt...when it's a matter of extenuating circumstances like rape, incest, or health issues. As a means of birth control or as a means of not wanting to take responsibility for one's actions, I don't struggle with it at all. It should not be an option, in my opinion. Every man and every woman knows that anytime you put a P in a V, you can end up with a baby. That's just part of the deal. Most of us have rolled the dice in that little tango a time or twelve...LOL...right or wrong...and you live with the results, even when they aren't what you planned. A lot of folks get started that way and get blessed with wonderful kids and families that way too, albeit unplanned.

My moral struggle is that even though I feel this way about babies and abortion now, I think we ought to build an express lane on the courthouse steps for capital punishment. I'm a walking contradiction. LOL

My objection to capital punishment is both spiritual and practical. Spiritual because I believe no one but God has the right to take life, and no one is beyond saving. David was a murderer. Moses was a murderer. That's pretty strong company.

Practical because innocent men and women have been killed in the name of justice. And the death penalty has never been a deterrent.
