Jewish tradition also held that up to 40 days, the unborn baby is “mere fluid.”
Kind of hard to accept since we now know that even the heart is beating before that.
Jewish tradition also held that in later stages of development, the baby is actually a part of the mother (like a limb).
Kind of hard to accept since now we know that the baby is completely different from the mother (half the time not even the same sex!).
And, if life doesn’t begin until the baby is halfway through the birth canal, how could Elizabeth have known that the unborn John “leaped for joy” in her womb?
The Exodus passage refers to a departing of the child. If the result is a premature birth, then a fine is levied, presumably for the added burden. If a miscarriage…life for life.
I believe radical feminism is only part of the problem. The percentage of support for abortion is very close to being equal between men and women. Pro-murder women welcome abortion so they aren’t “burdened.” Pro-murder men welcome abortion so they can use women, then not be “burdened.” We need to actually go after the real institution of abortion ~Rebellion against God~
Mere fluid, as in there is no bone.
ummmmmm
no
fluid is very different from tissue, including discrete cellular structures, which are present as the egg and the sperm cell

The Jews didn't use scientific definitions, only the definition that accounted for which they felt of a month old fetus.
This is where the whole matter just breaks down into mere semantics.
To say that a month old fetus would compromise one's choice in having to choose between it and a newborn is preposterous. Life simply just becomes ambiguous at that point, and the Jews acknowledged it.
Jewish tradition had it wrong. “Mere fluid” denotes no real value. We now know that at fertilization, the genetic constitution of an individual human being is established. The only things needed to continue life are nutrients and love. Nothing “mere” about that.Mere fluid, as in there is no bone.
God had to start somewhere. Adam began as dirt, then was infused with a “breath of life.” Eve began with a rib. To say that continues today is foolish.Eve was a part of Adam, as a bone.
I appreciate that. Nevertheless, the unborn John was recognized by God as a human being. Luke referred to him as a “babe.”John's vessel was sanctified.
Life for life in the event of the baby dying. Life for life had already been established for the woman. This passage actually confirms the sanctity of life for the unborn.Life for life in the event of the woman dying.
Yes, many Jews didn’t see the unborn human as life. Some did. Many Jews didn’t see Jesus as the Messiah. Some did.You just admitted above that the Jews didn't see the fetus as life, and now you're saying otherwise. See, this is the sort of inconsistency which makes the declaration that 'abortion is murder' arbitrary.
There needs to be a balance. I would never agree to undoing the feminine influence on society. Women deserve rights, but not wrongs.you can't get rid of abortion without undoing feminized society.

Ignoring your poor grasp of history, I agree that men should take the lead. But taking the lead shouldn't involve blaming women for our own failures. God didn’t excuse Adam for that, and He’s not going to excuse us.Then you will never undo abortion, hombre. It's that simple- with the emergence of feminism comes abortion, it has been repeated through history and it's one of a myriad of reasons why the Bible is anti-feminist.
We live in a society that professes in patently not holding women accountable, right down to abortion, and throws it on men. Abortion was never illegal, and eventually became a a protected right because men decided not to do anything about the heel pressed against their neck.
Jezebel has ransacked your society and that is why you have institutionalized abortion. It's not judges, men, or law, that is all after the fact and remains because feminism remains.
So good luck with your apparent cognitive dissonance, I choose to simply see it for what it is- mere idealism isn't going to do anything, and that's what pro-lifers labor under while fooling themselves otherwise.
Go by example:
The Romans did away with abortion by limiting egalitarianism.

Women blame you for their failures- they'll bring up Adam's failure in a second if you bring up any fault of Eve, and there is no contest with those as yourself when they do. So when you state what you've just stated, you are consenting to that.
You can't take the lead if you are following. Men didn't lead women to institutional abortion, women originally proposed it as a straight up liberation. And what do you think that is a liberation from, the Boogeyman? :AMR:
They stigmatize men into taking a hit for their own sins, and that is what you are laboring under.
And who did Adam blame?
Your Boogeyman is Hillary. And she’s gotten you to support a child killer.
Not “all" of their failures...women are human too after all.Your logic is that men are to blame for all of women's failures.
They will completely agree with you, and have stated it themselves :roll eyes:
Not “all" of their failures...women are human too after all.
These men that women blame...
Are you talking about men who neglect God?
The men who cheat on their wives?
The men who beat their wives so they can feel tough?
The men who use women, then disappear?
The men who use women, then throw money at them to get rid of the “problem”?
The men who gamble the grocery money away?
The men who drink themselves to a stupor every night?
The men who vote for pro-aborts (a lot are voting for Hillary too)?
If these are the men they are blaming, they have a case.
Of course, like Eve blaming Satan, that doesn’t give women the right to do wrong.
And, unlike Adam blaming both God and Eve...men should man up, admit wrong, and lead justly.
