Personhood
There are pro-choice Protestant denominations like the United Church of
Christ.
The apostle Paul claimed the risen Jesus told him three times, "...my grace
is sufficient for thee..." and some Christians take these words as a license
to do as they please, ignoring the rest of the moral instructions Paul gives
throughout his epistles.
Thus we see pro-life Christians react to secular scientific data and ethical
arguments on animal sentience, environmental arguments, etc. merely by
repeating a word or phrase three times, thinking their religion exempts them
from secular arguments.
**Can pro-choice Christians do likewise with the unborn?**
The federal government imposes a fine upon anyone destroying a fertilized
bald eagle egg.
Can pro-choicers dismiss the argument with three times, "Bald eagle eggs,
Bald eagle eggs, Bald eagle eggs...." ?
Can pro-choicers dismiss the argument with a snide, "Thank you *so* much!"
?
Or do secular arguments (like fertilized bald eagle eggs) overrule
unprovable religious beliefs in favor of killing?
**If secular arguments overrule religion when it comes to protecting the
unborn, why isn't it the case when it comes to protecting animals?!**
If pro-life Christians think their religion exempts them from having to
protect animals, aren't pro-choice Christians similarly exempt from having
to protect the unborn?
Or do secular arguments overrule religion?
