Let's go swimmin'!
I have not seen any of you right wingers post anything that would indicate that you give a rat's ass for these children once they're born. You don't care what kind of life they have, so long as they're alive.You look it up, if you intend to make some sort of point regarding the definition. Look it up, post the meaning, and explain what your malfunction is.
A gravely injured horse is not an unborn child.
You're blithering again.
I have not seen any of you right wingers post anything that would indicate that you give a rat's ass for these children once they're born. You don't care what kind of life they have, so long as they're alive. You oppose any sort of social programs to help poor families, and then go on about "personal responsibility". I see NOTHING about personal responsibility in the Bible and a whole lot about giving and helping one another.
You want these children to be born, but you don't want them to have any kind of life once they are. You don't care whether their parents can afford the child or what happens to the rest of the family because of the hardship of the pregnancy and delivery, and loss of income to the family.
You don't care about living families at all.
Christian scriptures teach us to give in secret, not even letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing, to give in secret. Some of us believe that the Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward this kind of giving that is not known to others. (Matthew 6: 1-4)
And to show his sense of humor, Christ also said a light that shines on a hill cannot be hidden, and to let your light shine and not worry about it.
So whatever the giver decides, you may never hear of their real giving Dragonlady, or you may hear too much about it. I'm sorry if not knowing or even knowing too much bothers you. Seems there's always something. Maybe the message is to moderate what others know about you, so they won't think too highly of them, when Christians are just as subject to making mistakes as other people are. There's only one difference between men and women who are Christians and who are atheists--belief in Jesus Christ. Not one single thing more. For us, it's in God we trust. It's so simple people miss it for looking.
Where I used to go to church, our family sat two pews over from the lady who ran the planned parenthood center for the community. We don't judge. That's God's job.
It could be that people whom you are accusing of not caring for the unborn child spent years secretly supporting half a dozen orphans. You will never know because the Founders' children read and believe the same scriptures they did and act in different ways to serve our understanding of those words Matthew wrote.
I will tell you this: if you recollect the tsunami that hit Indonesia in 2004, I saw a lot of high school people in our church assembling care packages of school supplies for dozens of young people whose homes were lost, yet they were attended by teachers still willing to teach them all they could about reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science, and art--if only they had supplies and stuff. They were amazing, what I saw on tables where people brought stuff for children, plus personal items like soap and toothbrushes, etc.
America was there for those who were washed out, lost parents or siblings, or children who were washed out to sea. By the same token, many are there for those in their communities who have hurting needs. They just don't noise about it by trying to do what the scriptures advise, which must drive the IRS people out of their minds, sometimes, as they look down their noses at "nongivers" who wouldn't let on they may have given it all away.
