It's sad you find it so easy to rationalize away murdering
babies. No wonder millions of babies are murdered every year. Not
exactly wickedness? Tell that to Christ when you face Him one day
- on that day you'll have no choice but to accept the truth of
how evil it is to murder babies. The fact that you act like it's
ok to murder babies is utterly amazing and sad at the same time.
There's nothing more to say.

The only one calling abortion "murdering babies" is you and a few others
like you!!
Its your private little war on society.

> Not

Yet your so called "God's Word" says nothing about it.
Do you perhaps have a baby (foetus) obsession or something?
Do you consider yourself to be a right wing extremist?
Would you kill for it?
Guess what, Christ doesn't like extremists.

> The fact that you act like it's

> There's nothing more to say.


I never said its ok to murder babies. You're the one who insists that
foetuses are fully developed people.
You're trying to impose your private definition onto society. You seem to
think that you're the only righteous person left in the world. That is
self-righteousness.
Your God doesn't value foetuses but for some reason you think they're
priceless. You think you're better than him.
