      Honestly, I think it’s 100% reasonable, and is basically the same thing Biden says. He says they’re Catholic and personally do not believe in abortion, but that he also believes his religious beliefs shouldn’t be shoved on Americans and shouldn’t be the basis for legislation. I don’t have an issue with anyone who feels abortion is wrong, I just take issue if they force that belief on everyone else.

      You can be pro life and still see that those policies are needlessly cruel.

      There’s a big gap you can fall into while being pro life between forcing women to carry dead fetuses until they become horribly sick and suggesting that healthy fetuses be carried but maybe given up for adoption. Plus you can be against abortion privately without suggesting it be banned altogether.

      Honestly his response there sounds like he’s not one of those insane people.

          Ooh, you don’t happen to know a verse for this, do you? I’ve heard this before and tried to Google it, but my Google fu is lacking and I just end up finding right wing nut job websites.

              Thanks! That dust on the floor I’m guessing is basically poison, lye and the ashes from other offerings. That’s wild.

              Is there a verse specific to when life begins? I’ve read that it’s upon drawing breath, but that’s the part I haven’t been able to find.

        In America there are two acceptable views.

        1. Alive at conception
        2. It’s ok to kill a fully born baby as long as it hasn’t breathed yet

        Both came from religion. I can see why some people pick the first one when given only these two options. You wouldn’t want to be a le enlightened centrist after all.

        “pro-life” is those policies.
