I find the vehement comments against Ms. Levine's well-considered article to be the proof of the pudding, quite frankly. The hatred evinced by so-called "loving Christians" right in these comments is exactly what she's talking about. The simplistic idea that all couples would automatically welcome children, or that contraception is not being used, is ludicrous. Furthermore, the assumptions that all persons are of the same belief system and therefore automatically would adhere to biblical teachings, serves as evidence of the inherent egotism of the fundamentalist.
You are all laughable, you know ... and pitiable. You are such pliant little sheep that you never even bother to consider the facts before shooting off what your minister told you to repeat like good little Bible-parrots. How sad for you.

I'm a conservative Christian. I think only a woman whose life is in danger should be able to have an abortion. For everyone else, abstinence. Of course, excepting that, wear a friggin' condom

Susan: In the matter of abortion, the more liberal Christians feel it is regrettable, but are not in favor of eliminating a woman’s right to choose.
Carole: Posting on an AOL Abortion message board doesn't make you an authority on Christians. We ARE in favor of making abortion illegal. Only a few aren't. Killing is a sin to Chirstians and abortion KILLS an unborn child. BTW, why focus on Christans? Many non believers value life.
Susan:Christian fundamentalists believe abortion is never acceptable under any circumstances, even when a woman’s life is threatened if she continues the pregnancy to birth.
Carole: We post on the same board and you KNOW that no one has ever said that. You're such a fake.
