NO I am not hearing about all the fertilized eggs, that are not used and incinerated. I just never see the picketing at those clinics. I dont see the reports of women being harassed going in to an in vitro clinic. Could it be another case of right wing HYPOCRISY?
that too is wrong
But where is all the righteous indignation? Why isnt the church up in arms and priest on the pulpit demonizing that the same way?
I am not pointing at you personally, but think about it. Your side is presenting a half/mule type animal argument. Its the hypocrisy, with all these kids in foster care orphanages,on the street, in homes you cannot even imagine. There is not a line of fine upstanding people to take these kids in like there is standing outside a clinic harrassing someone making what must be the most agonizing decision of there life.

Huh? You don't think there is a difference between terminating a pregnancy and creating one in a lab? They're quite the opposite, actually. That's like saying arson and tree-cutting are the same thing.
You are also wrong that there isn't anyone willing to take unwanted children. There are plenty of people who want to adopt a child.
who says they arent?
that probably isnt the most effective line to be used..
it all goes back to being a responsible person..because unfortunately its the innocent children who suffer from these people who just dont assume responsibilty for anything (or seem to care).. there are people who will thankfully take in unwanted children into foster homes and adopt..
people will protest what they do not believe in... but then, if responsibility played any part at all anymore, those 'protests' would not exist in the first place..(regarding abortions)
just because it is legal does not make it right..
I do. It would be the headline, anti abortian protesters outside in vitro clinic or hospital. It just doesnt happen.
Trying to avoid the position Bears is in for spelling a swear word with other letters. yea its come to that.
Quit trying to change the subject. Abortion has very little to do with in-vitro fertilization (other than Catholics, who are opposed to everything, including condoms and birth control pills).

I'm not a priest but an ordained minister, exactly what should I be preaching from the pulpit? Personally I don't think abortions should be used as birth control but I also recognise there are times when it may be the best option. And no, I am not going to enter into that debate here.
Its the exact same thing. Several eggs are fertilized, the best one is picked out and implanted. The rest are incinerated. If in fact all life is precious and begins at conception wheres the outrage? If they are just left frozen in liquid nitrogen never allowed to grow beyond 6 cells is that OK? Its just never allowed to grow.
not always, sometimes what happens is simply the embryos are transferred then.. selective reduction occurs..

Selective reduction (or fetal reduction) is the practice of reducing the number of fetuses in a multifetal pregnancy (those involving more than one fetus). With selective reduction, one or more fetuses are "selected" for termination. This procedure is often performed after a congenital defect has been identified. Prenatal diagnostic testing may be used to determine which of the fetuses has a greater chance of chromosomal defect or genetic disease. The fetus(es) with the highest likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities are then targeted in selective reduction.
But that is not taking a life, freezing it in liquid nitrogen never allowed to be born is not taking a life, incinerating unneeded blastocycts is not taking a life. Is it really about life, or is it about controlling a womans body?
