Well, that was the crux of my point, but i didn't want to close it out with "god doesn't exist" cause, really, I don't have all the facts on that.
But if "god" did exist, i don't think he/she/it would give a **** whether or not you prayed and splashed water on a baby. Therefore, "abortion souls", no matter what happens to them, are free and clear. See? and if someone believed in reincarn, well, those souls would come back! See? I mean, i, myself, am more of the native american religious persuasion, though i was baptized Catholic (italian, Irish, comes with the territory). so i believe in respect for all living things, but i also believe that death is part of everything, and there are no real "rules" for it. But the main rule is, injustice is wrong.to everything on the earth. (which, if you're religious, you should believe "god" created, and act accordingly)
but again, i think to bring you're point to others, as much as you're able, you have to try to bring the point into their belief system. This is difficult, if not impossible, in most cases, but...doesn't mean you can't try. After all, that's how social change comes about, by changing peoples minds.
