Any and all arguments from the “Christian” understanding regarding abortion are laid bare here and shown to be lacking in comparison to what the “Christian Right” proclaims to be the obvious Christian understanding of abortion. The person speaking in this clip has a PHD in this sh!t. If we can’t acknowledge that a person has spent their life studying a specific topic and knows what they are talking about, then this entire board needs to be moved to yahoo answers. Seriously, isn’t this board based on a f**king higher education institution? Any and all abortion discussion based on a fundamentalist/literalist interpretation of the Bible is bogus from the very foundation. If there is any argument for a “biblical” understanding of abortion and how it is wrong … well, it has no basis in Christian literature and you’re wrong. You’re wrong and I don’t know how else to say it.
Also, I would encourage anyone with Bible questions to head to Dan’s page. Instagram, especially. Great stuff.
To ban abortion is mainly about the desire for the government to hold power and control over women, while allowing the promiscuous men who cause unwanted pregnancies to go on about living their merry way. Seemingly a significant number of Oklahoma women do want government control over their reproductive choices as reflected by Sen Mullin winning by 62% even though he said he publicly indicated he was pro-life with no exception. It's why I feel any initiative to gain abortion rights in Oklahoma will be close and may not be on the winning side.
Some men who want abortion banned think the country started going downhill in 1920 when women got the right the vote. So, they want that abolished as well. Republicans running for political office should be asked about that.
