1. Why do you declare that the unborn is not human until a certain week in the gestation period? You must have some reason for that assumption to debate it so passionately.

There are things called genetic chimmeras. These occur when there are two embryos that fuse together and make one human person. But since both embryos were human persons then both have souls right? And since neither embryo died then both souls are still in their body right? But that leads us to quite a predicament, we would have one preson with 2 souls... That doesn't make sense to me so I believe embryos don't yet have a soul and that the soul is infused sometime later during pregnancy.

2. Don't you think that women should be more responsible about their body when it comes to having sex? Don't you think that being responsible includes taking responsibility for a baby doesn't mean getting rid of it?

The only comment I have is that "responsibility" means nothing in a debate about equating abortion to murder or unborns to human beings.

3. Why did God and the people back in those ancient times believe in women being chaste and virginity was so important to the husbands that betrothed them?

What does this have to do with abortion?

4. You criticize that some christians do not bury miscarried babies.. not excusing that in many cases there are no remains. Yet you say nothing about the aborted babies being thrown in dumpsters, sold to laboratories for research, using them for stem cell research and other really disgusting things. Which is the greater sin?

I criticize christianity when it's actions don't add up to its words. The simple fact is that my criticism of no funerals for unborns was more of a revelation to me. It was evidence that Christians haven't always held to this human life begins at conception view and guess what... my conclusion based on that evidence was spot on. Christians haven't always thought of unborns as human beings. In fact one author traces the change of opinion to some time after 1979. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slackti...he-happy-meal/ This means that despite what conclusion you want to draw from unborns not being buried.. Christianity has not typically counted unborns as human beings until relatively recently. Further, it seems the number of unborn burials and memorial services are increasing and I think this is directly tied to Christianity's new position that an unborn is a human being. Therefore my originial assumption that unborns are not buried and given funerals means that they were counted as less than born human beings seems absolutely correct when all this evidence is taken into consideration.
