conditions, and the use of "Prudential Judgement"...nations may use lethal force to protect their own lives...and freedoms. In addition, I've cited not only Pope Francis' statement on fetal Personhood being "debated", but also an article on that issue by the Pro-Life leaning publication "Where's Peter" in which it acknowledges the RCC has never taught that Personhood begins at conception. These references are all true and certainly relevant to the issue of Abortion...yet you refuse to engage and discuss their relevance. Let's also remember that this country is not a single theocracy and that other religions, (e.g. Judaism), or Atheists believe that Personhood begins at either "Quickening" or Birth. BTW, the fact that the vast majority of conceptions do not naturally result in birth, due to failure to implant, or miscarriage...gives rationality to those beliefs.
Then there is the non-religious fact that at any point in time, here in the U.S., approximately 6M women have, during their reproductive lives, been forced or coerced into a pregnancy they never wanted. So, the question arises...if nations can engage in war (i.e. killing) to protect their lives and freedoms, why can't women Choose to end a pregnancy they never wanted, caused by outside force or coercion?
Stop abusing the word "Lie" and engage in a reasoned discussion of this important issue...for which the majority of Americans believe should be legal and available...especially for those women who have been subjected to forced or coerced pregnancies.
