Can anybody telll me if abortion was a sin, before Christianity came along?

In this day and age and the vast options we have for birth control? If a person does not want a baby they can prevent it.

LASTLY - Maybe you have been involved in an abortion, it's not anyone here to condeem you, that doesn't meen it's right. That is an issue between you and YHWH, who created everything. Luckly thoug, for those that choose not to fight the law, there is an option. IF you feel that you need forgiveness you do have an option, if you don't well I'm sorry but "good luck"

Yashua, paid it all, including for me, I wanted to claim I was the worst sinner, but Paul beat me to it, but I'll take that up with him later.

Yashua, does save, but the days grow darker it gets harder to follow.

I did use birth control, troll.

Wow. LOTS of high and mighty VERY moral people posting to you here ... I wonder how many of them have a penis? Personally, I don't discuss reproductive rights withanyone who doesn't have a uterus.

But you do, so here is my two cents. My grandmother half raised me, and told me that "back in the day" when there was no birth control, women would be grateful when they would miscarry early - because having baby after baby after baby was just that exhausting. And for some, there was sometimes a woman available who knew her way around herbs and could give you "something" to keep the pregnancy from continuing. She told me this was a blessing ...

Remember too, that up until 1970 a woman couldn't get a hysterectomy without her husband's written permission. Some men still haven't realized we are now in charge of our own bodies.

I worked in a shelter for 2 years, for the State for 7 years, and volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters for 5 years - and now I am a married mother of four. YOU are right - most people do not want to adopt non white or less than perfect babies. You want to bring God into this discussion? ALL children are born equally loved by the Divine - however, not all children are born equal. I've seen kids abandoned, abused, burned, cut and bruised ... have any of you? Babies are adorable but somehow much less fun when they become toddlers and that is when life becomes hell for so many little ones. When my own kids are grown I plan to take in foster children ... have any of YOU considered this? Or do you just talk about the evils of abortion and do nothing to help actual living children?

And if you want to use the argument that anyone who gets pregnant is meant BY GOD to have a baby - that means that all the people out there who are "barren" are meant by that same God to not be parents. You can't have it both ways.

Pagan or otherwise, your religion has nothing to do with what comes next. You can have the baby - in fact, there are places you can live and be cared for until you do give birth, and give it up if you like. Don't use the father's mental state as a reason to not have the baby, your child will likely be fine and be adopted especially if you give him/her up as a newborn. Or have an abortion QUICKLY without guilt - do what you feel is best and move on ... I've never had an abortion but I know plenty of women who have and NO, they are not living their lives with regret. Most do not. With regard to Celtic Paganism, I suggest a great book called "Celtic Women's Spirituality" by Edaine McCoy. Celtic women chose their husbands (or to not have a husband), could own land, fought alongside men in wars and ruled/held politial office. Christians and Muslims seek to keep their women weak - Pagans didn't and never will!

Really? *rolls eyes* Then why haven't I've been saved of my sufferings??? Why has my life got worse and worse year after year? I'm in my late 30s and never been pregnant, IN MY LIFE, and used birth control, btw. I see this as the worst thing that could have happened to me. Don't tell me it's because I've had sex before marriage because I know a lot of happy people with many Blessings that do that and some live together 'live in sin' and I know a lesbian couple that's very happy together and doesn't have half the misery I suffer.
Fine, than pray for me because, the devil obviously has been blocking me from being 'saved'.

Good night!

If you die in your sins you will pay dearly for that evil remark.

You compare the innocent life of a baby to a witch or a violent heathen? God help you.

"Even you" ???? Wow. Whatever happened to "Judge Not lest ye yourself be judged"???

Murder has never been held in high regard. That is why I support FAIR CHOICE. Flip a coin and let fate decide. Heads the baby lives. Tails the host lives.

"I wouldn't want them to be punished widda babeh!"- Our fearless leader.



If you think that killing an innocent baby is okay, regardless of religion, you need mental help. You have been brainwashed by the feminists into thinking that it is alright, that it is your "right" to do with your body as you choose. Oh, that's true, but you do NOT have the right to do with THAT body as you choose.

Abortion was introduced before the flood that destroyed the world the first go round by one of the fallen watchers. It is one of the many reasons God Almighty brought that age to an end.

OP,

You're creating excuses why abortion may seem okay even when you're supposedly against its practice. That code of ethics you're imposing upon yourself is called self righteousness. The problem with self righteousness is that you're not a perfect person. Therefore, you really aren't the one who decides what sin is or isn't.

God, on the other hand says the blood of the innocent cries out to him from the dust.

You can go your way or you can go His way. Its your choice. But don't expect God to be cool with your decision No mater what you decide to do. Choices come with consequences.

The choice is yours.

Good advice and true. Indigenous people all over the world still believe this and raise their children tribably. One woman will nurse another's baby; all care for the children because they are in fact the future of the tribe. I have a friend who lived on the Pine Ridge Reservation for 7 years, she told me that the Lakota say "We beat our dogs and pet our children ... the whites have it backwards".

You have a lot to think about - good night!

She is a great author and everything you said made perfect sense to me.
I have 'reptilian skin' with these trolls that are not in my shoes and don't know what I've been through and my circumstances, SO I'M TOUGH AND NO ONE CAN GET TO ME, BELIEVE ME! I have a book called Celtic Magic by D.J. Conway and talks about stuff similar to what you said and herbs were given to woman, for unplanned pregnancies... It was a woman's CHOICE to keep a baby or not. Yes, I believe that.

I believe in a past life I was killed in a Holy war. What was it? Something like over 5 million died and they stole children....
and then you have the witch hunts...I could go on... if you were a child of a witch they killed you, oh, but that's different, according to the know it all Bible thumpers.

Goddess Blessings to you and thank you for your post!

AND

Abortion is murder - if you don't want a baby close your legs sluts. Cop outs not taking responsibility for ones actions. Disposable life for a quick pleasure fuck - pure evil.

^attention whoring above^

ROFLMAO!
I always sleep really good when I get a good laugh, before I go to bed.

Abortion is murder and used by woman as birth control. I say keep the baby and get rid of the trash.

I said what i felt - take it or leave it.

Gracias! *sigh* Trying to catch my breath from laughing so hard!

Tah tah!

Suppose you want the hard truth sugar coated.

Keep em comming! I love to laugh!

You anti-abortion freaks are just making me think you don't have a mind of your own and are afraid to face the TRUTH. You've all been programmed/brainwashed and are delusional/crazy.

This was very entertaining! I'M STLL ROFLMAO.

Give me a bad karma point. You know you want to! LMAO!

Being saved doesn't mean rescuing you from your suffering, it means saving you from God's wrath. It's a hard concept to grasp, but people usually go through the most suffering when they are comtemplating being saved or right after they are saved. Suffering brings about endurance and endurance brings faith.

Another way to grasp it is to remember that Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted by sin, thirst and hunger immediately after His baptism. If the devil came after the Son of God, then you can be danged sure he will come after the rest of us mortal humans. However, I would still trade 70+ years of this life for eternity in bliss.

Luck and friendship.

Natural law verses man made law. Natural law would not allow an abortion where as man made law through science allows abortion which as you can tell i'm not to keen on.

Yes! Back then it was *sacrificing* your Baby to Molech

Lev 20:4-5 And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.

An example of sugar coating the issue Pro life vs Pro choice where Pro choice really means Pro death.

I didn't say that. The quotes got screwed up. If you reread the last few pages you'll see.

Natural law doesn't allow
medicine/pills/prescriptions/shots/vaccines/etc...

YOU FAIL!
