According to an Associated Press article which you can find here, a federal judge has upheld the portion of a South Dakota law requiring that women be told that abortion ends the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being”. The ruling goes on to say that physicians “can provide more information than the language in the statute, including that the term can be used in a biological sense and not ideological”. Mimi Liu, an attorney for Planned Parenthood, said, "We're relieved our doctors have the ability to use their best medical judgment to explain and make sure what women understand is biological and factual information and not an ideological mandate from the state."I’m not quite sure what to make of the “biological sense and not ideological” part of the ruling. I don't know that I understand why Planned Parenthood considers that portion of the ruling to be a victory for them. And I absolutely cannot comprehend how the State of South Dakota can consider it to be anything less than murder to take the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being”. Maybe you can explain it to me?
The Bible says nothing about abortions in that context. Perhaps that technology was not available in bibical times. But Jesus said, "harm none yet they come to me." Speaking of the children.
ReplyDeleteI would think attempting an abortion is sinful as it is actually killing a living human organism (One of Gods children). Next we will probably have laws that will kill older people in their senior years because they are sick or old and have no value for the up comming utopia.
Man has no authority to play God and decide who lives or not. To do so is a greater sin than any other.
That is one of the most bizarre things I have ever read!
ReplyDelete"Mr Smith, do you plead guilty to the murder of Mr Jones?"
"Only in the biological sense, m'lud"
"Oh very well - case dismissed!"
