I do not belive in god. The way I look at it is my mom and dad decided to "create" me. I was really happy up untill now in the belief tha tparents did not have sex. OH well, that's another picture I need ot get out of my head. Anyway, since mom and dad created me, they had the right to "uncreate" me if they so chose.
I do not believe that life has a purpose other than to reproduce. Just like any animal on this planet. Any other perceived purpose is one that we have crfeated in our own self absorbed self centered littel minds. Since my wife and I have chosen not to reproduce, we have already failed our purpose in life.I believe I understand it except the 2nd to last sentence.

The bottom line to me is this. You do what you want, I do what I want. Your (not you specifically, the general "you") may do what ever you want as long as it does not infringe on my rights. What goes on in my wife?s body is first and foremost her business and sure as hell none of 'your' business. No person or government should be allowed the right to determine what I may or may not do to my own person. Whether I chose to put, nicotine, alcohol, class 3 narcotics, tattoos or what ever is my business.
All I want is for all these religious zealot freaks to GET THE HELLOUT OF MY PERSONAL LIFE!!! Is that so much to ask for? If I want to burn in eternal damn nation (or where ever you freaks say I am going) it is my damn choice so butt out.
There. I?m done venting for now. I feel much better.

What I meant was, that if a pregnant woman decided to abort, and the fetus was viable and someone else wanted to take care of it, that other person should be able to do so. We allow people to give up their children for adoption. It's a similar situation. As soon as the point of viability is reached in pregnancy, the fetus is no longer dependent solely on the will of the mother. It can now depend on other people if other people chose to let it.
I think the ethics of abortion has very little to do with religious justifications. There's no clear 'religious' position on abortion, just a clear conservative position in contemporary politics. In other words, I don't see any specifically religious reasons why a person would go one way or the other on the question of the legality of abortion.
