I am sorry I am slow to learning about the LJ cut... I have only done it once, and can't remember how again!

Taking a stand on these issues means not aiding someone in any way to do something we stand against. Whether it's the murder or a child growing in the womb or an old man with a few days left to live - this is playing God... and He is VERY clear about us trying to act AS Him. If you don't agree with the fact that humans taking life is playing God, I believe you need to examine Scripture a little more closely. If that offends you, good. It should offend all of us ( ... )

thanks for posting this. i moved the topic on GG for the time being, because, as you know...people were not listening.

A confusing issue for some blessed_1 June 25 2007, 06:18:11 UTC

The morning after pill is actually a series of strong birth control pills. It makes the uterus a hostile environment preventing implantation of a fertilized egg.

The birth control pill used on a regular basis does the exact same thing.

I'm not going to reveal my beliefs here, because I just want to confuse you all. LOL (Once I'm sure you are good and confused, I'll be happy to tell!)

But, is it sinful to take The Pill? Use an IUD? A condom? Get your tubes tied? If it's not sinful to be on the pill, why is it sinful to use the morning after pill? Neither prevents fertilization, just implantation.

No person should be "forced" to kill another human being. People in the medical field should be able to opt out of procedures that offend their souls.

THAT is the issue I really have with this. As though being a dr. negates any religious beliefs you hold. If a male Muslim dr. refused to see me because I am a woman.. I would think it's stupid... but that's his deal, not mine. And I shouldn't be offended... just find another dr. DUH.
