There is a consensus about murdering people, about stealing things, and about attacking other people.  No one is debating the issue.  Those things are illegal because over 95% of the country believes they should be illegal.

Here is a poll on abortion taken a few days ago for comparison:

http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm

With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?

Pro-Choice      Pro-Life        Unsure about terms          Neither/Unsure

53%                   44%         2%                                     2%

A majority of the country thinks abortion should be legal. 

Where in the Bible does it say that aborting a child is murder?  I am not saying the Bible condones abortion, but there is a legitimate debate over when a fetus is actually alive.

I can easily find you a place in the Bible where it will tell you that judging others will make your judgment even harsher.

Please, don't compare people saying murder should be illegal to people saying abortion should be illegal or you are just ignoring the facts of how Americans actually feel.

Wait a minute. You think that if a majority of the country believes murder or stealing is ok, it should be legal?

Also, if you want to bring the Bible into this discussion, try this verse on for size:

Exodus 21:22 (KJV) 
    If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

I'd say that God did care about fetuses....

 

Isn't there a verse in the bible about a fellow spilling his seed and god did him in with lightning or some such god like thing?

I spill my seed all over the place and even though I've been through many thunderstorms, god has missed me every time.

 

 

 

lol. Well, you aren't spilling your seed so that you can have kids to your name in the afterlife, are you?

(for the benefit of those who aren;t familiar with the passage) In the Old testament, if your married older brother died childless, you were supposed to take his wife and have kids so the older brother would get kiddies to his credit in the afterlife. What happened here was the oldest brother died and the younger brother didn't want to give his brother kiddies in the afterlife, so he "pulled out" of the arrangement so he could have kids of his own in the afterlife. and God killed him.

Isn't there another verse in there about when a women gets raped and she doesn't cry out for help the village people should gather and stone her or something like that? Or if you rape someone you can pay her dad off with some silver and you get to keep her? Am I making this stuff up?
