  Don't expect a rational reply to your question, Larry. In the bad old
days when churches controlled society, there were certain questions you
were not allowed to ask. Now the best churches can do is simply not to
answer them. Claire's and Ron's dodging is evidence of that.

Neither will we get an answer to where in the Bible abortion is forbidden.

Also, after we have shown that the Catholic Church's "slippery slope"
argument against euthanasia is nonsense, what argument can they provide
against mercy killing of terminally sick people in order to prevent
unnecessary suffering? Why should humans be treated worse than animals? But
we won't get an honest answer to this question, either.

The reason we won't is because religion is essentially irrational, and the
purveyors of it are playing a game of power over other people's bodies and
pocketbooks.
