A new slant on anti-abortion propoganda
This Sheffield vicar seems to think that it's because Christians are resorting to abortion in vast numbers that it needs to be stopped.

Can't make the link, Rob. But I'd guess he's got a fair point. Dwindling congregations and all that. Going round converting grown-ups is all very well if you've got a black suit and very white teeth, or an orange frock and a streak of nose-paint. But for staid C of E types, there's nothing like bonkin 'em out the old fashioned way. (Look how many left-footers there are!)

Try that - Rob, sometimes the system puts in an extra line feed that prevents the link from working, what out for it. Test the link in preview, if it comes up as a hyperlink (underlined and blue) it should work.

Re: A new slant on anti-abortion propoganda
I am still trying to work out what this paragraph means. If these abortions had not happened would the children born to grow up "in a completely secular environment - what has been justly described as 'pre-Christian' Britain." have still been church member or lost to the church? It seems to say that they would be lost. And where does this, "justly described as 'pre-Christian' Britain" stuff come from? I can only think it is an allusion that they would have been pagans, which I consider to only be less of a problem because I have never met a sanctimonious or evangelising pagan (OK, haven't met many pagans in the flesh as yet . . .)It is undeniable that the majority of 'Christian-background' children aborted last year, had they been allowed to live, would have grown up in a completely secular environment - what has been justly described as 'pre-Christian' Britain. But children aborted in the 1970s and 1980s, who would now be in adulthood, would have been much closer to Christian Britain.
Like all such it is preaching to the converted mainly, any person who considers it a valid argument must be at least a closet religionist.

I promise you Dave, if you do meet pagans, it is likely to very much 'in the flesh'. At least, going on my own rather distant memories!Dave B wrote:(OK, haven't met many pagans in the flesh as yet . . .)
Re: A new slant on anti-abortion propoganda
As it happens I have met many pagans, and they all keep their clothes on. In fact some of them are asexual. In fact none of them are that sexual, one lives on her own with cats and they are not black.
None have been sanctimonious.

Here, conservatives who are pro life, keep stating that they don't want government running their lives. And yet, they keep trying to run people's lives by trying to ban all abortions and making it harder to practice birth control because they say that birth control keeps more babies from being born. To government, conservatives, and religious radicals I say, "Get out of my body and my bedroom." Babies or no babies, it's my business. Not theirs.
