Overall, it’s a great change for abortion but I’m concerned about Texas’s trigger law if what I read is correct.

It bans abortions from conception with no exemptions for severe deformities or rape. Even if I wasn’t a parent, I would have a difficult time forcing a rape victim to have her rapist’s baby instead of being afforded a day after pill (I could be wrong in assuming they consider the DAP as abortion) or forcing a person with deformities that will cause agony their whole life to suffer. Does it have to be such a binary set of options?

Yes, I know other states won’t be as strict, but I question the thought process of our leaders.

This entire pro abortion vs pro life argument comes down to a simple difference in perspective.

It's the belief that the unborn are living human being with basic rights and the right to live supersedes the mother's right to her body.

The unborn child is using the mother's body to live. The argument has even been made that forcing a pregnant women to carry her unborn child is the same as forcing a parent to give their kid an organ or blood transfusion.

Even in cases of rape which are so extremely rare it does not change the fact the unborn child is a living human being and should not be killed just because it was the product of a despicable act. If it was my daughter, as tough as it would be I would suggest adoption. However, I also don't know where I stand on the morning after pill.

I also am for capital punishment, that is not the same as abortion. The unborn child is an innocent baby, it's not even close to the same thing.

The issues that are grey and foggy to me are when it comes to the morning after pill and even in vetro fertilization. If you say life begins at conception with zero exceptions what do you about these issues? They are not currently listed as "abortions" so I hope they remain an option. I also hope that any lifesaving intervention for the mother remains an option as well as cases where the unborn child isn't going to live anyway and it's safer and more humane to end the pregnancy earlier rather than later.

I am currently struggling with this and what to believe about some of those situations I listed above.. A fetus develops a brain around 6-8 weeks and doesn't form any real consciousness until several weeks after that, possibly not until 20 weeks.

Gray areas. Foggy areas. Perspective. Own personal beliefs. When does life begin?

What do all these concepts have in common? The lack of ONE irrefutable truth. They all rely on the thinking, beliefs, and desires of man. To know the answers to all these “issues” one first has to define truth. Absolute truth. What is absolute truth? It is the absolute standard by which all things should be measured. This truth exists outside of you, me, or us. It remains the truth regardless of our perspectives, laws, or beliefs. There is no such thing as your truth or my truth. There is simply God’s truth.

For example, The law of gravity is God’s truth. He created it. Those who believe in the concept of “your truth” go to the top of the Empire State Building. Explain how in your prospective and belief that God’s truth of gravity does not work for you. That you do not believe in God’s law of gravity. Then jump off the building. You will discover, for a few quick seconds, that God’s truth is the standard by which all things are measured in relation to the law of gravity.

Ever been in a plane? Does a plane take advantage of our beliefs or perspectives to prove God’s laws of aerodynamics is not an absolute truth? No. What man does changes nothing in God’s truth.

We could do this over and over to cover ever situation man faces.

America does not face lots of tough decisions. Life is not difficult to figure out. Follow God’s word and you have discovered the “secret” to life. Life becomes difficult when we follow man’s perspective, ideas, and beliefs.

Now before we get to the statements about the Bible and God’s word being influenced by humans and humans wrote and decided what is in the Bible and all that, I will just say, if that is your “belief” then you have not studied and understand the word of God well enough. It simply is not true.

The Bible states otherwise. The Bible covers every single “issue” man faces. To accept this you have to put man in his proper place. God in his proper place. Then all answers are there. If one desires to know the absolute truth.

Your example is absolutely covered in the Bible. Only man’s needs and desires confuses it. Mans “thoughts” create the gray areas. There are no “gray” areas in God’s word. If there were, God would not be God. He could not be sovereign and omnipotent. Man needs gray areas to justify mans desires.

Sorry but you are wrong. You haven't provided any scripture to prove otherwise. There are areas in God's word that can be left up to each individual as to what is right and wrong. It even discusses this in scripture.

There is nothing in God's word that addresses if an embryo that was fertilized outside the body then frozen is human and has a soul. That's just one of many examples. We have to take God's word and look at the overall big picture. To say that the Bible covers every single issue in a black white context is just not true.

Also something in that book about Thou shalt not kill, but it's okay if they do it.......

If I recall correctly it’s not uncommon to give mom more than one fertilized egg, it’s not likely for them all to implant even given the same chance
