Re: Black baby 5 times more likely to be aborted than white

So they're saying that just because black pregnant women happen to choose abortions more than any other ethnic group, that the abortion industry is racist, even though the pregnant women are the ones choosing to abort? Have they even considered the possibility that black women might get pregnant at ...

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

There is no reason you should try interfering with other people's lifestyles. What people do in their bedrooms and their relationships,is none of your business.. I can't rightfully support a lifestyle that promotes death and disease to other people... When people start dying from it, we WILL interf...

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

But my main point is: keep thy religion to thyself . If you think homosexuality is wrong, and you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Nobody is trying to force you to be homosexual, but here we have all these Christians trying to force homosexuals to be heterosexual. There is no reason you shoul...

No, but it means he is more likely to be an alcoholic than people who don't have that predisposition.

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

... Genes give a predisposition for certain characteristics and traits which, depending on the environment, can make that trait or characteristic active... You got that right. In other words we all have a predisposition for anything (more or less). It is both environmental factors and personal deci...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

You need much more than that for a human being. In order for it to be a human being, it is required that is has means of independent physiological existence. That characteristic is mandatory. A fertilized egg represents a potential, not an actual human being. An acorn isn't an oak tree and the egg y...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Even if you did consider the fetus as an actual human being, there is no such thing as the right to live inside the body of another, i.e. there is no right to enslave. If an adult—say a medical welfare recipient—must survive by being connected to someone else, they may only do so by the voluntary p...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Nice straw-man. Did I say I would murder a 3-year-old? No, I didn't. That goes under the assumption that I would kill something that can't survive on it's own, which I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. It was a very easy conclusion. You stated that the reason it is not considered a sepa...

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

And perhaps you would care to explain the cases of identical twins where one is homosexual and the other heterosexual. For the same reason that one identical twin can be left handed and the other right handed. Genes give a predisposition for certain characteristics and traits which, depending on th...

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

What makes you think it is accidental? They have been observed with multiple partners of the same sex more than once, especially the bonobo. They are well aware that they can't reproduce with the same sex, they have a thing called instinct. Are you really willing to say up to 1500 species of animals...

As you can see, it is very much natural. There is no rational argument you can make against homosexuality, only intolerance.

Re: Homosexuality and destroying faith

It is something you are born with. You cannot change your sexuality. If you are born a homosexual, then you will stay that way because your sexuality originates in your genes. If you don't want to be gay then that's fine but may I suggest that you stop trying to make other people's life choices for ...
