BC, what if a woman prayed, and The Spirit told her to get an abortion?

Is she just doing it wrong?

50 million babies killed via abortion in the US since 1973. Perhaps 80% merely as a general method of birth control. Just doing what Planned Parenthood tells us to do eh?


Of course. Because abortion did not exist until PP did.

WTF????

Are you equating this woman's accidental death of her child to abortion?

Are you suggesting that supporting Planned Parenthood means supporting murder?

What Spirit would that be?

Indeed. I gave you a break by limiting the time frame to 1973 and after. What do you think the number is overall, world-wide and all time? And should there be a lesser consequence devised for a genocide of 50 million people as opposed to say, 100 million?

Are you equating this woman's accidental death of her child to abortion?


I'm comparing the seriousness of this one (anecdotal and subjective) example to one that is documented.

Are you suggesting that supporting Planned Parenthood means supporting murder?


I do not merely suggest. PP derives most of it's business from abortions. You can add sexualizing children to that rap sheet.

The church really needs to make sure people understand that when the choice is between following the spirit or reason, that they should choose reason every time. That when the choice is between the still small voice or medical advice, they should choose the medical advice every time. That when the choice is between a priesthood blessing or medical professionals, they should choose the medical professionals every time. Otherwise it results in situations like this one.
