[Vision2020] Questions for Doug --

[keely emerinemix]

Actually, the context of the commandment is "thou shalt not murder."  It 
presumes that you ought not kill, obviously, but that not all killing is 
murder.  In the Old Testament, for example, God provided cities of refuge 
for those who committed what we would now call involuntary manslaughter, and 
none of us would equate the death of an aggressor in self defense as murder.

Nonetheless, I really hate the idea that women who abort are "murdering."  
As is the case with involuntary manslaughter, for example, the result is the 
same -- in my view, the cessation of human life -- but if Scripture gives 
credence to different motives with the same outcome, we should as well.  
Abortion is horrible enough without also presuming that women who feel 
driven to get one are murderers; that implies intent -- "I'm gonna kill 
someone!" -- that I believe is usually not present.

Dude, Hilarious.
Why are you asking Doug (I am guessing Wilson) questions here of all places?
Hmmm.
Also, about abortion -  Are you serious?
If you are, "Thou shalt not commit murder."
Cheers,
Rob
