No. Abortion has nothing to do with religion. Abortion is about killing inocent people!!. We can support LGBTQ rights and same sex marriage and women rigts. But abortion is very different

You can only make that statement once those participating in the argument agree on both "what is life" and "when does it begin". Those arguments rarely surface and the assumptions muddy the discussion.
-
That is correct. An embrio is a human in development... just like a newborn an infant. There is a lot of evidence for that. (genetics... embriology... neurodevelopment..) But when somebody say that an embrio has the same value than a tumor. That is just sad and wrong.

The framing of the argument is all about the transitions. Conception? Fetus? 50% development? Heartbeat? Brain waves? What is Life? When should rights be bestowed? Why protect the unborn but not death row inmates? There is certainly civil discourse when we parse the parts.
-
I agree And we should have a debate about all this issues. But at least agree that killing is bad. And we can change our policies about it!.
-
Agreed. But also a slippery slope. How about killing animals that exhibit compassion and intelligence? How different are we as humans?
-
I am with you!. And maybe not just with the "smart" ones. We cant give value to a being just because exhibit intelligence.

Can we agree that an unwanted pregnancy is an unfortunate situation for the woman? I do hope that technology does mitigate this terrible decision for them someday. If so, we need to *consistently* answer the Sanctity of Life question at all stages of a human's development.

Interesting. The Middle East and North Africa are about where western Protestant Europe was in 1960?

It’s hard to believe they are even that progressive today.

How did many of your elders back then view agnosticism/atheism, homosexuality, cohabitation outside of marriage, interracial (or even interfaith) marriages, etc.?
-
They didn’t have the internet. And same day international travel. And dozens of western modern societies to look to. They were always more modern than the developing world. I would expect them to catch up faster now than in 1900.

The mistake the priesthood of Molech made was they didn't name their god "Enlightenment", and justify the killing of innocents as a necessary value of liberalism.

Liberal values are great. I think a better liberal value is giving more money to single mothers, not legalizing the deaths of their children.

Liberals support social programs and things like health care. Your complaint is with the people who oppose those things.
