Life's Greatest Mysteries:

We cannot  justifiably force unwilling women, naive young girls, an hopelessly addicted drug addicts to become mothers without finding answers to life's greatest mysteries.   We do not know when life begins, or if it even begins, at all.   Perhaps birth and death are simply changes in form and  movements into different dimensions of reality.   

We do not know the nature of life.   We don't know what life is,  what its source is,  or how that source  functions.   We do not know the nature of a human being's relationship to that source.   We do not know how life originated.   We do not know where we came from.   We do not know how we got here on Earth, why we are here, and where we are going when the body dies.   

The forced motherhood leaders claim to have answers to these question, but their so-called answers are nothing but un-provable, conservative Christian, religious beliefs.   Even the official Roman Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges that these questions are unanswerable.°  And what about the rights of those who  believe in a different religion?  What about the rights of those who believe in reincarnation?   What about the rights of those who believe in no religion, at all?

God's Conception Magic Act:        

God's Instantaneous, Supernatural, Transcendental, Conception Magic Act°   is the foundation upon which the entire anti-abortion war is based.    God's conception magic act is one of the religious belief of conservative, fundamentalist Christianity.   It's also an  un-provable, religious fairytale.   

Its origin dates back into antiquity and has been handed down, (without change)  to present day Christians from those who controlled the Roman Catholic Church during the "Dark Ages."  These people believed the Earth was flat.°  They also engaged in all kinds of despicable, criminal behavior such as extortion, outright lies, arson, torture, and murder.°   But please don't believe us.   Examine the evidence.   See the page titled:  Abortion and Christian History.°  
and the page titled:  Was Reincarnation Edited Out of the Christian Bible?° 

Billions of people do not believe the conception-magic story.  They follow religious beliefs that teach reincarnation.°   Even millions of Christians don't believe in conception magic.   They believe that the Christian Bible is correct because in Genesis2:7° it says the life begins at first breath.   There are also millions of people who believe in a Divine Source but do not practice any of the organized religions.°   They don't believe the conception magic act story, either.

The Forced Motherhood Leaders 
       and Their Followers Are 
             Almost Exclusively 
                  Conservative Christians:        

In more than ten years of researching this issue, this author has yet to come across  a single forced motherhood leader or a forced motherhood follower who is not:  1)  a fundamentalist Christian,  2)  a conservative Catholic, or 3)  a member of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.   That's not to say such people don't exist; it's that they are extremely rare.   

On the pro-choice  side, there is almost everyone else, including millions of open-minded Christians and the vast majority of those who acknowledge the universal spiritual principles.°   For an inclusive list, please see the page titled:  For Whom Do You Speak?^°

The anti-choice stance of the forced motherhood leaders is based solely on Christian theology.   Their single-pointed, religion-based behavior makes the anti-choice war a conservative, Christian, religious crusade.   It's right-wing, conservative Christians against the infidels, which in essence is conservative Christians against everybody else, including moderate and open-minded (liberal)°  Christians.   

Who Decides:     Christians claim to be followers of Jesus.   Jesus said nothing about abortion.   In the absence of conclusive evidence from their religious icon,  who or what are they following?   And how can they force their theology onto the billions who follow other religious philosophies.   They claim God as their authority for opposing abortions, but if their theology is right, then the Christian Bible is wrong^°  and  God is the world's most despicable abortionist and baby killer.^°

Life's Three Basic Assumptions:

When we examine intentional pregnancy termination within each of life's three major assumptions,  Christian one-life-ism,  atheism,  and reincarnation,° we find three very different conclusions regarding what abortion is and what  it means.   One then has to ask, "Which of these three assumptions is correct?"   No one can provide us with a conclusive answer that question because there are no provable answers,°  only conjecture, guesswork, speculation, and stories made up by our ancient ancestors.   Thus, the question,   "Is abortion right or wrong?"  belongs the realm of religion and philosophy where it has been hotly debated for centuries.   

In a free society, beliefs about reality, including guesswork, conjecture, speculation, and  Medieval religious fairytales°  are not the basis for passing secular laws which force one group's religious beliefs onto everyone else.   Attempting to do so clearly violates our God-granted and Constitutionally guaranteed right to religious freedom!

.

Four Additional factors:

1)   Follow the Money Trail:   You've probably heard this truism:   "If you want to know the truth about anything on planet Earth, follow the money trail."   Well, that also applies to the anti-choice war.    See the page titled:   Controversy Sells, and It's a Multi-billion Dollar Business.° 

2)   God Is a Baby Murderer:   The forced motherhood leaders claim God as their authority for opposing abortions.    BUT:  if their theology is correct, then  God is, by far, the vilest, cruelest, most despicable and most detestable  baby murdered°  in all of human history.     And Genesis 2:7°  and Ecclesiastes 11:5, RSV°  in the Christian Bible must be wrong. 

3)   Who Is the Real Leader of the Forced Motherhood Movement:    In the absence of conclusive evidence about consequences and meaning of intentionally terminating a pregnancy,  who or what are the forced motherhood leaders following?°   Is it possible that they've been duped by the Devil on the abortion issue?°  

4)   Who Decides:   In areas such as abortion -- areas where there is no tangible evidence to support any hard and fast conclusions, who do you want to make your irreversible, life-altering decisions?   

The Bottom Line: 

You can't know the significance of abortion until you can, with provable certainty, answer the above questions and dozens more equally  puzzling and equally unanswerable, religious questions.°   Any conclusions regarding abortion that are turned  into secular law and forced onto people cannot be based only on religious fairytales.°    (More Evidence)^°    In order to provide provable answers about what abortion really is and what it means, those answers must be based upon knowledge about God,  and provide provable answers to each of the above religious questions.

Answering the above religious questions is quite literally impossible.    Philosophers, scientists, and religious scholars have been debating these questions for centuries and the only concrete answer they have yet offered is that:

.

When discussing God or religion,
nobody can say with certainty that he or 
she is correct and that everyone else is wrong.

.

Your Choice:  You are foolish to believe what we say.   You are equally as foolish if you disbelieve us.  But you are a fool's fool if you simply ignore our message.   We invite you to look at the evidence,  here and elsewhere.   Let the evidence lead you where it will.    Then make up our own mind about how you will respond to the truth.

"Know the truth and the truth will set you free."

When we examine what abortion is and what it means, billions of people believe stories (religious or otherwise) that are different from those being peddled by the forced motherhood leaders.   This leads us to the following conclusion:

.

Abortion Is a Religious Freedom Issue! 

We Challenge You, 
or Anybody Else, to Prove this Claim to be Wrong.  

To anti-choice media, we say:  "Invite us to discuss the religious aspect of the abortion issue on your radio or TV talk shows."     

To church leaders who support forced motherhood, we say:  Invite us to discuss the religious aspects of the abortion issue in front of your church members.    

Let's let the evidence speak for itself:   We dare you to expose your audience or your church members to the evidence supporting the conclusion that abortion is a religious freedom issue, and then you or anybody else can offer any evidence you can find to prove our claim to be wrong.

To those who favor forced motherhood, we say, "It's time to walk your talk."   You claim to be in favor of  free speech.  You claim to be in favor of religious freedom.   Prove it!   The evidence, such as the Global Gag Rule,°  points strongly in the opposite direction.   If your words are more than just hollow shells, then it's time to support those words with tangible, provable evidence.   

Let's openly and publicly talk about the relationship between forced motherhood, (anti-abortion) and religion.  Let's let the evidence speak for itself.   We think it's time for moderate and open minded Christians to take back Christianity.°
