    Also, if the abortion is carried out within the legally established term of at most 12 weeks after conception, then there is no "killing in utero", because the soul won't have entered the fetus yet. Or for those who don't believe in the concept of a discarnate soul, then there's the legally accepted moral standard, which states that a fetus of that age is not a human being yet, but merely a biological mass made up of human tissue.
    Most religions and spiritual traditions maintain that life begins at conception. We don't know if that is accurate, but from a purely logical perspective, it makes sense. The soul may very well be the spark of life that starts the growth of the embryo from a single cell into a multi-cell organism. The truth is, we just don't know.

    I certainly agree that there are circumstances when abortion is necessary, even the moral thing to do, but it should be more strictly regulated, to make sure it really is warranted. Too many people are treating abortions as a form of birth control. I had a colleague many years ago who's had three abortions. She complained about how expensive and complicated it was (this was in Ireland, where abortions are actually illegal and going abroad to have one might get you jail time, at least in theory), compared to Germany, where she's had her first two abortions. She was really dim and it never occurred to her apparently to use birth control...

    Its tough for many imo over 40 to comprehend these matters sometimes, due to conditioning.

    While personally - I don't believe abortion should ever be used as routine birth control ...

    I am still an avid pro-choice/human reproductive rights supporter.

    I wasn't sure how you'd feel about the comments, Gio, and I was about to suggest that we can always split off that discussion onto a separate thread ─ which we still can, mind you.

    It's all about personal responsibility. People can't make moral choices if they're not free to make those choices.

    We do what we do because it's the right thing. The ripples go out and we cannot always see their effect. Such is life.

    I do so hope that arc keeps going in the upward direction...

    Objective Truth (Do We Create Our Own Reality?)


    Teal Swan
    Published on May 18, 2019

    In this episode, Teal Swan challenges your mind. Objective truth is difficult to grasp because inherently all of us view life from a subjective truth or reality. Objective truth can be seen as the culmination of all individual and subjective truths and perspectives.

    Wow ...

    Elton John - Rocket Man Live

    The show has been running since September 2011 with the most recent leg being 16 shows between March 29 and April 26 2014. The concerts are the culmination of Elton John's decades long partnership with Yamaha pianos. This film features classic Elton John tracks from across his extraordinary career performed either with his band, with percussionist Ray Cooper or solo. The multimedia staging is extraordinary with vast screens behind the stage illustrating the songs and the piano itself acting as a screen for graphics and animations. Elton John is the ultimate live showman and this is the definitive Elton John concert experience.
