I know, its all a matter of opinion whether or not abortion is murder. I've heard every side of the abortion issue and as a practicing Catholic, I will always be 100% prolife. (Good thing I'm not going into politics.) Even if I was not a Christian/Catholic I don't think I would support it.

My issue with fetal stem cell research is that these babies were not respected in life (murdered), & by using them for their cells we are also disrespecting them in death.

I am for research in other areas that don't involve abortion.

Quote:
To those who oppose this based on Christian law, do you not believe that the spirit leaves the body upon death? If so, corpses are just a sack of flesh destined to degenerate where buried. If the baby's spirit is already with God, then why not use the flesh for a good purpose?
Are you saying that you believe it is a child when it is aborted? That is another issue that everyone disputes, when life actually begins.
