When do you believe life begins?

Question

If you believe life begins at conception, how can you vote for pro-abortion candidates?
Obama is the most pro-abortion Presidential candidate in history.

Answer 1

When the sperm enters the egg and creates a lifeform.



As an example, look at other creatures. Is a tadpole a living being? It's not a frog yet, but isn't it alive?



The abortion issue is a big one. Even without Roe vs Wade there would be abortions and probably every state would make them legal. The issue gets political when they want tax payer money to pay for abortions when many don't believe in them.



And Obama is for infanticide, which means the baby can survive the abortion, be out of the womb and breathing, but must still be killed or left to die in a garbage can. He's one heartless, evil man.

Answer 2

It begins at conception. That's a scientific fact. Wanting it to begin at any other time is just a personal opinion, or wishful thinking. At conception, all of the DNA is present that will make up that person.



Whether a candidate supports abortion rights wouldn't be my only criterion for voting for that person. Personally, I don't think abortion should be a political issue at all. I wish abortions didn't happen, but they do, and I don't think it's the government's business to interfere with a private decision one way or another.

Answer 3

Life begins at conception.



A fertilized Eagle egg has more protection by law than a fertilized human egg. A fertilized human egg will never grow into anything other than a human baby. If life does not begin at conception then why are people who kill pregnant women charged with 2 murders?

Answer 4

Pro-choice.

Obama represents a party that is pro-choice, this does not mean he is pro abortion. He is for women having the right to decide whether or not to have a child.

In answer to your question, I do believe that life begins at conception.

You ask how can I vote for Obama as President? Well I take into consideration the other things he is for, such as universal health care.

It is not for us to tell others what choices to make or how to live their lives. Only God is the judge of man, not us.

Although I personally do not agree with abortion, I consider the overall good that Obama will bring to our country.

You want to save POTENTIAL lives in the womb, but what of the millions living today, babies, children and adults who suffer simply because they do not have access to health care.

This should be the greater sin we commit...to ignore them and their situation.



Then he will say to them, 'I tell you with certainty, since you didn't do it for one of the least important of these, you didn't do it for me.' -Matt. 25:45

Answer 5

My opinion -



Many Catholics are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked by

someone who has made public pronouncements in the name of

political expediency, but in reality has no intention of following

through. This is a sly and cunning way to "neutralize" the Catholic

vote, and many people are falling for it, sad to say. Sort of like what Bush did back in the 2004 election with the right-wing evangelicals and the proposed national U.S. Constitution amendment to ban gay marriage. GWB got their votes and made it through the election in a squeaker. Doesn't matter how close, or "ugly", or if it's honest - what matters is that you win (GOP philosophy). Anyway, the gay marriage ban was totally forgotten - just a bait-and-switch trick to capture your vote. It's too bad people don't see what's really going on here.....



How bad are things going to have to get in this country before the the American voter finally gets it right???

Answer 6

First of all, Obama is not pro-abortion, he is pro-choice.



Secondly, he is all for lowering the number of unwanted pregnancies, but understands that making abortion illegal is a dumb idea. Have you ever read anything about what things were like before Roe v Wade? Women still got abortions, just very unsafe ones.



Third, even if I disagreed with Obama's stance on this ONE issue, it wouldn't stop me from voting for him.

Answer 7

Life begins at the moment of conception. I believe. 'Even before you were formed, I knew you' says the Bible. I do not vote for pro abortion candidates...ever.

Answer 8

In my opinion, The life of a baby begins long before he or she is born. I believe a soul is created and life begins from the moment of conception. My husband and I will not be voting of Obama!!

Answer 9

The bible says that I knew you before you were born so who knows when life begins. I would say that life as we know it begins when the sperm enters the egg but the bible does not say that is when life begins and I only go by what,s in the bible I could care less about what man or woman has to say both are wrong most of the time.

Answer 10

Come on, life begins in the womb. But you have to be a fool to believe it begins at the moment of conception.

Answer 11

I personally believe life begins when you take your first breath.



PS; There's no such thing as Pro-Abortion, no ones in favor of abortion. That would be like say someone who claims to be Pro-Life is actually Anti-Choice.

Answer 12

Holy Hell, there is NO such thing as pro-abortion.



You have to be the most uneducated, ignorant person to think that people think abortion is great. It sucks, but that doesn't mean that YOU can tell ME or any other person how to live our lives.



Please read a book once in awhile.

Answer 13

It's not a belief. It is a scientific fact that life begins at conception.

Answer 14

after 60, says the geritol commercials... that gives me plenty of time to abort some bastards who seriously need aborting.



edit: if you didn't laugh at this response you have no sense of humor.

Answer 15

Life, like death, is not an event, but a process. There is no exact point at which life begins or ends.

Answer 16

I think as soon as the sperm makes its way into the egg. I haven't researched it much but I'm pretty sure as soon as it goes in that a LOT of things start happening. If there is something happening, then life has begun.

Answer 17

Life begins when you are viable outside of the womb. If life begins at conception, then your god is the most prolific abortionist in history.

Answer 18

People will say anything to get elected- read your history books, what they say and what they do is all together different- vote wisely people!!

Answer 19

It began around 4 billion years ago and has continued ever since.

Answer 20

Maybe I don't care about abortion, or where life begins.

Answer 21

Heh



Life began millions of years ago. When a sperm and an egg join, life is transmitted, not created.



Biology 101



Christian education strikes again.

Answer 22

I believe life begins when you exit your mother's womb and draw breath.

Answer 23

At the moment of conception.



I have already voted for McCain/Palin.

Answer 24

nobody is pro abortion, moron.

people are pro choice.

Answer 25

Sperm and eggs worldwide resent your spurious accusation that they are not alive.

Answer 26

Once you take your first breath.
