I agree but Torq is taking the moral high ground here and as a devout Catholic he cannot justifiably argue that one life is worth more than another.
Yes, people like him make me laugh lol They pick what they want from their religions and at the same time consider themselves "good Christians/Muslims/Jews, etc." and sh1t on those people who don't make the same "pickings" as them :D 🤦
the Church made a mistake of allowing itself to be infuenced by masons, protestants, leftards and other retards, and shifted its position to anti death penalty.
John Paul II would be surprised to know that he was "a mason, a protestant, leftard and a retard" :D

"While the vast majority of U.S. Catholics support capital punishment, Pope John Paul II has declared the Church's near total opposition to the death penalty. In his encyclical "Evangelium Vitae" (The Gospel of Life) issued March 25, 1995 after four years of consultations with the world's Roman Catholic bishops, John Paul II wrote that execution is only appropriate "in cases of absolute necessity, in other words, when it would not be possible otherwise to defend society. Today, however, as a result of steady immprovement in the organization of the penal system, such cases are very rare, if not practically nonexistent."
Btw, Torq, if you are in favour of death penalty then
that means that in your worldview not all human life is sacred and not only God has the right to decide who lives or dies. But that means the lives of unborn children aren't sacred either.
Because 0.1% pregnancies pose danger, let's allow abortion with no limits. Right?
That's clearly not what I wrote, so don't play dumber than you are.
It was my response to what johnny_reb wrote about abortion: "Murder is not a choice nor is it ethical."
My point was that there are instances in which even people like you, johnny_reb and Torq support or at least don't oppose "
murdering unborn babies" - when the mother's life or health is in danger and abortion is necessary, right?
It is generally accepted by both parents, societies and probably majority of religions in the world that the mother's life is more important than that of an
unborn baby.
Noone normal expects the pregnant woman to
sacrifice her life for an unborn baby. And if she has other kids already and would decide to do that anyway - she would be critised for that.
What I've noticed is that the attitude of people completely changes once the baby is born. Then both parents and the society views the vhil's life as even more important than that of a parent. Both (normal, loving parents) are ready to die for their kids. If someone needs saving from a dangerous situation people choose to save kids first.
So there's a difference in how people view a baby
when it's in the womb and once it's out of the womb.
Interesting, isn't?
Yes, some people need to catch up with the abortion / unborn laws:
Of course there are laws concerning unborn children at a y state of development. For me the issue here is not whether a fetus is a human being, because it obviously isn't a Castor anything else. The issue also isn't about whether an unborn baby has the
right to live or not. The thing is, in certain situations, as I think we all agree, the mother's rights/well-being take priority over the unborn baby's rights/life. The point of contention is what are those situations that warrant abortion.
That's all for now, I'll get back to commenting on
the rest when I feel like wasting my time on cruel,
heartless people. 😢
