Comments on: The Truth about Truth http://armyofpriests.com/2007/07/31/the-truth-about-truth/ "Christians should be troublemakers, Creaters of uncertianty, Agents of a dimension incompatable with society." - Jacques Ellul Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:27:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Adam http://armyofpriests.com/2007/07/31/the-truth-about-truth/#comment-454 Adam Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:28:18 +0000 http://godssamurai.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/the-truth-about-truth/#comment-454 Just so we are clear I am "pro-life". As in rabidly pro-life. I have had the experience of a pregnant teenager telling me she wanted to get an abortion. I offered to bank roll the cost of raising the child myself. Something very, very few Christians have done. (Showing compassion is much harder than picketing a politician) I wrote this a while ago. So I probably wouldn't defend it all (it is pretty long to read after all). That comment was about the "evilness" of the woman. Surely a rape victim is much less "evil" than someone who wants an abortion for life style reasons. Much more compassion is necessary. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate any one willing to stand up to this important cause. Just so we are clear I am “pro-life”. As in rabidly pro-life.

I have not read the whole thing but I would like to point out: "This raises significant questions about truth. The statement “abortion is a truly evil and vicious attack on the defenceless” may well hold true if you are referring to the loose woman, but surely the same statement cannot apply to the rape victim. That means that the statement is relative." The statement refers to the PERSON THAT IS BEING KILLED. The BABY is the ultimate defenseless victim in both situations. Therefore the statement is true! While I am not sure making it illegal for rape victims to have an abortion is a great idea. I am in favor of the Church coming in and surrounding either woman with love, emotional, and financial support. Both women require healing. Maybe raise the child. At least have the child adopted by a loving family. No unborn deserves death by human hands. That is the ultimate act of murder. I was looking for a quote I heard years ago when I found your post.
