1. It is currently in the news and before the US Supreme Court.
2. For fellow posters, in general, who want to discuss the topic decoupled from guns are invited to share in the topic of "abortion." This way, it will get a full hearing.
3. To provide the proper setting, space, and opportunity for my fellow posters,  @Truth, a recent newcomer to CD.
4. Since  @Truth  acknowledged thread boundaries, I want to give honor to you by starting this one.
5.  @Truth  attempted to raise the topic in two other threads, which were not advantageous to the topic at hand. e.g.
   1. https://www.christiandiscourse.net/discussion/comment/19928/#Comment_19928

*************************************************************************************

The questions emulated from the Halloween thread. See below:

*************************************************************************************

Although the questions are generated in another thread, I would like to give my friend, an unencumbered chance to answer them and other questions. The special invitation to @Truth is, in nowhere, restricting any posters from accepting the question package and being heard on this topic of "abortion."

So,  @Truth, do me the honors and answer the questions below. If you accept the challenge, I trust you will produce more fire than "smoke." Let me duly remind you that the wider CD Community will note your rationales:

1. Do you feel the need to impose, intrude, and control the lives of a woman (or women) that's not your wife (assuming you are married) who choose the option of a medical procedure in consultation with her doctor, husband, family, and faith counselor?
2. Do you need to put your eyes in the womb of another woman (not your wife's), not know her medical history or current condition?
3. Do you have an insatiable need to interfere in the marriage between a husband and a wife?
4. Do you need to be conscious for millions of women and families in this country and worldwide to make a most personal and intimate decision for them?
5. Do you need another man (not a relative) or a panel (primarily men) to interfere in a decision between you and your wife? e.g.
   1. Where, when, and how often to have sex?
   2. To use or not to use a condom?
   3. To use an IUD birth-control device?
   4. How many children or to have any at all?
   5. Rather or not, you should have a vasectomy?
   6. Whether your wife, in consultation with her doctor, can have a man or double mastectomy?
6. Do you need the public to make laws to know if you or your wife can have any of the above?
7. Do you have a burning desire to have a religious body, not of your faith, working through legislators to determine if your wife can have one of her cancerous ovaries removed?
8. Do you need me to come into your home and decide against you, your doctor, and your pastor to have one of the above (# 5)?
9. Do you need a group of strangers or me telling you what option is NOT AVAILABLE (abortion) to you if your wife or daughter were beaten and raped?
10. Do you need to be denied a right and a privilege the current right allows?

@Truth, it would be helpful if you would answer these questions put to another recent new comer @byGeorge to CD:

1. May I suggest you read or re-read this entire thread? Until then, consider these: 
2. When is a baby, a baby? 
3. Is a zygote a baby?
4. Tell me lumber, nails, roofing paper, a poured concrete foundation, etc. Is this a house?

@Truth, you seem to be yearning to have a discussion on abortion. Here is you opportunity? CM

1. Is there a common ground or a clear-cut "sin"? What does the Bible say about Homosexuality or same-sex relationships? Is it moral?
2. Is one born with an inclination toward the same-sex or is it a choice?
3. Are culture conditioning and societal laws encouraging same-sex relationships?
4. Are two people in a same-sex relationship are capable of loving (giving and/or receiving)?
   • Can they procreate?
   • Can they raise children?
   • Can they be members of a Christian Church? Or Should they?
5. Is Homosexuality the rejection of the creation account?
6. Is there a difference between homosexual-orientation, tendency, practice, and affiliation?
7. However the above is defined (homosexual-orientation, tendency, practice, and affiliation), are these just demons to rid oneself of or should they be embraced them as human weaknesses?
8. Will practicing (not former) homosexual be a part of the redeemed when Christ returns?
9. Is it true, once "homo" always "homo"?
10. What do Christian scholars have to say on the matter not that the Bible authority isn't enough? Are they in harmony with their faith and sacred text?

In short, can one be homosexual and Christian? CM

What makes us sinners? Can we sin beyond what we are? In context, which, if any, the Apostle Paul are referring? Is there any hope for the sinner? Can we live differently from what we are? What power is there for a man to live by and how is he to conduct himself until Jesus comes again? Have we all done, all are or both?

In short, what constitutes sin? CM
