My response had no political motivation behind it. I simply think that you can be against abortion except for health of mother, rape, or incest and not hate or judge the person for having one. I sin as much as the next person and I can be forgiven the same as anyone no matter the sin. It’s a thin line to balance where you don’t agree with a persons actions but don’t judge or offer condemnation. I know that it’s not the case lots of times and narrow minded people will hate and turn people away from what Jesus taught
free will.................Even though it's cliche and oversimplifed. Even though it is used as an "out" for why God can't be seen correcting every known problem in the universe, it's still the truth.unless He is gonna come down here and do something about this mess, it seems like God should just not care and let everyone into heaven
god is comfortable with free will as a basis for morality, but anti-abortion activists aren't?free will.................Even though it's cliche and oversimplifed. Even though it is used as an "out" for why God can't be seen correcting every known problem in the universe, it's still the truth.
Ah… I mean, that’s a thin premise. Murder is illegal in every society. Whether you agree with it or not, you still have to acknowledge that there are many people who believe a fetus is a person, and the mother carrying that fetus is duty bound to protect it. Even the most liberal of us still seek to socially regulate pregnancy so that pregnant mothers don’t drink/smoke/do drugs, to protect the fetus from birth defects, and in that way we are protecting the future personhood of something that we don’t yet recognize as a person.god is comfortable with free will as a basis for morality, but anti-abortion activists aren't?
Even murder is legal and justified under some circumstances is every society.Ah… I mean, that’s a thin premise. Murder is illegal in every society.

Absolutely, but accepting that murder framework for abortion (which I don’t) means legally limiting abortion to instances where pregnancy immediately threatens the life of the mother, right? Abortion isn’t murder, to me, but I understand that many anti-abortion people want to regulate abortion as if it were, and thats reasonable logic to hold if you believe fetus’s are people. That’s why the “if you don’t like abortion then don’t have one” logic doesn’t really work, because none of us would accept that framework for murder.Even murder is legal and justified under some circumstances is every society.

so god uses his free will to let people suffer
to my knowledge all of those exceptions are individual political compromises between people with differing beliefs, not necessarily hypocrisiesBut even they don’t really accept the murder framework. “OK, you have 12 weeks to murder or you can murder under these circumstances.”
The support of Trump suggests otherwise.These aren’t people known for compromising their religious or political beliefs.
