If someone stabbed a pregnant woman and it killed the baby but not the women, they would still be tried for murder. But if the women decide she doesn't want it, she can have a doctor do it and it is suddenly okay?
Would they? Are there any stipulations for manslaughter? I only ask in the situation if a woman is pregnant and she doesn’t display any signs, is stabbed. Would it count as 2 since the attacker was unaware she was pregnant. Does this scenario play the same for a car crash?
That's a very common dream actually. I had a few when I was pregnant, gave birth to baby rabbits, puppies and kittens. Belief that such dreams could result in a birth of a strange creature or deformed baby was common centuries ago. Steps were taken to try and limit those dreams.
@@tell-me-a-story-Centuries ago it was believed such dreams could result in the birth of an animal/human hybrid or a deformed baby or perhaps a monster. In the bedroom of pregnant queen's they would cover tapestries and paintings of animals or mythical beasts in an attempt to not incite such dreams and cause such a shameful birth.
When criminals are in charge, the innocent will suffer. A corrupt people will give themselves corrupt leaders. Come back to God. He misses you America.
In what percentage of instances does that 'clump of cells' in the womb of a pregnant woman, if brought to term, result in something other than a human baby?
This is how they do it; they chip away, little by little, until they have destroyed the whole moral foundation. And we let them because every step seems relatively harmless on its own.
Michael, You are one of the few logical people, thinking deeply on things you speak about AND with a sense of humor. Abortion is murder. Thanks for speaking out.
Common sense and morals have died at the bedside in many, it’s sad, disturbing, and disappointing. Some people use love as the reason they support insanity when in reality so many relationships are solely based on sex, lust, and desires.
Claiming "My body my choice" when combined with information from the doctor that the child has a mental defect is probably the best one could claim in this regard. Even then I would not be alive and thank God for my mother.
@@billythegoat8634 Actually it kind of bothers me when people say, “I chose life, and my baby wasn’t even disabled.” Because it doesn’t matter. I want to hear more, “I chose life and I love my disabled baby, I’m so glad I didn’t get an abortion, my baby is wonderful.”
@@tell-me-a-story- I feel there can be a place for very early abortion but we haven't implemented a system for a woman to know she is pregnant 100% accuracy within 3 days and provide them with the treatment to be taken within 10 days. I believe a fetus is a life and that life begins well before conception if you want to take everything to it's further point. I see no ethical problem with a pregnancy being eliminated within 10-14 of conception. By week 5-6 that is murder for sure. Whatever a person's beliefs we have to accept the two organs that truly make our experience human are the brain and heart and by weeks 5-6 there is certainly enough development to say that baby is to be protected.
@@billythegoat8634Your comment, is full of contradictions and hypocrisy. You say that the baby is to be protected, but for abortion within 10-14 days after conception? There’s nothing ethical about your comment or you.
@@Southernguy39 unfortunately, God didn't make all of us as perfect as you. There is zero hypocrisy or contradiction in my statement. I said I believe life starts before conception if you want to take that line of reasoning to it's furthest extent. However, human suffering is real, and I also believe that if there EVER can be a consideration mae for "abortion" it would be that less than 14 day window. I know, because I spent my life as a scientist, that 5 weeks. Not matter what at five weeks there can be ZERO arguments that it is 1000% everyone's duty to put an end to abortion at that line or passed. Now if you find this to be unclear or hypocritical then perhaps you need to sit with yourself and think. Because humans are messy. We rent God. Although some, such as yourself, believe you have it all figured out
Thank you for the body of work you put out. It is so refreshing to see a reasonable person speaking! Your interviews are fantastic and I love your sincerity and the overall respect you give to every guest.
It boils down to choosing God's will or man's will to dominate our world. We are made in God's image but Satan said to Eve, 'you will be like God's and that's what many people today want.
Absolutely right. To justify abortion you have to become God in your mind. This is not the right way to think. It always leads to unhappiness and destruction.. just takes a few years. Be wise. Teach your children well.
So glad to hear some public voices speaking on this. I use the issue of abortion in week 2 or 3 as a thought experiment in my philosophy classes. It is disheartening to witness how poorly our young people are equipped to have an intelligent and informed discussion about a very simple issue. It is like you have read my essay on this - the same that was declined publication in several newspapers.. lol.... I wonder why? Thank you again.
But unfortunately, you’re ignoring all the non outlier situations during pregnancy when it is truly warranted and if you research that a little more you’ll see that it is now becoming a harrowing, life threatening situation for some women to be pregnant. There are so many instances where a woman’s life is being threatened and doctors have their hands tied. They’re supposed to wait until the women is almost dead to intervene and because of this many doctors are leaving certain states and now the availability of prenatal care is decreasing to an extent that women are deciding not to get pregnant at all.
@@kc6810It's because common sense has left the building. True risks to the life of the mother should always be considered case by case. But the OP is very right, it's excuses after excuses.
@@kc6810 Nope, I'm not. The majority of pregnancies are safe in modern day America, and the majority of abortions are elective, meaning no good reason given if any at all ("I'm not ready").
@@kc6810 I call BS on this. There's almost never a case where being pregnant risks the woman's life. If there is abortion is justified. But more than not the baby can be delivered via c section and saved, yet they choose to abort anyway.
True. That's to keep people from eating them. You can also be fined and jailed for possession of an eagle feather, even if it lands in your yard. Welcome to Florida! Lol
I was firmly pro-abortion until circa age 20, when I realized how bad the side's arguments were. Now I don't even want to make exceptions for dire straits.
When my wife was pregnant, she had a dream that she gave birth to a dog. Like a puppy. She was freaked out, I just thought it was hilarious. But I understood how having a dream like that could be jarring, at least at first. But after a few weeks and she was still almost obsessed with a stupid, albeit a little creepy dream, I started to think something was up. Why would she let something so silly get to her like this? Well, eventually the truth came out. Apparently she had cheated on me and there was a chance the baby wasn't even mine. I was destroyed. How could she? We would just have to find out when the baby was born what the future would look like. I still don't see how she could cheat period, let alone with a Labrador/Golden Retriever mix. An animal. A damn Dog. Admittedly I was worried. But she didn't give birth to a canine. (Thank god) No a perfectly healthy Human baby boy. I mean, he did come out black, but I'm pretty sure we just both have some recessive black genes and our baby just happened to receive those from both of us instead of the more dominant traits. Never been happier.
One day, you all will realise, that only mother gives her child some value of life, and if she doesn't - it is not a murder, because you can't murder a thing with no value
History is 100% always important. If you ignore History, it will be impossible to create a better future for the next generation that come after. And interestingly enough, the Morality of abortion has never been a Religious concern. Simply because, Religion is Man made thing based on the fact Humanity is a Moral being at its Core. Right and Wrong has always been the foundation of Communities, even in the very early Tribal gatherings of Ancient Humans. The first argument against Morality has been to attack religion because of the falsehood that it was religion that created Morality. Now, I am not actually attacking Religion as a wrong thing, I myself consider myself a follower of Christ, but I also understand that as Humans, we created Religion, not God.

And as an added enforcement of Mr. Michaels Lecture, and also because I agree, *Psalm 82.*

I don’t support abortions. But michael Knowles displayed his ignorance by calling animals irrational . Anybody who has spent enough time with a dog , cat , even some wild animals will realize they are sentient , rational beings capable of feelings and thought more than some people I know of

animals are not irrational tho. they do have brains and do have rationale. :) Whoever wrote this never had a smart dog like a Weimaraner, husky, pumi or other breed of independent working dog. We actually are the ones who have it backwards to put things as love children and do NOT love animals. We misquote Jesus and make zero room in our hearts to love animals and instead put it 100 percent toward human beings when God actually put enough love in our hearts to love both humans and animals. Just because Jesus said we are worth many sparrows, doesn't mean that sparrows then have zero worth. If they had zero worth, God would not have created them. In the garden of Eden, Adam and eve tended to the garden and the animals and one another. I think a lot of us out there will have to give a reckoning to God regarding our laziness and irresponsibility regarding how we treated our pets/animals. animals were once respected for what they contributed and gave us: companionship guardianship, milk, wool,, meat and were valued. Now they are trashed as commodities. Oh, it's just an animal people even Christians say when a dog dies. God doesn't create just a anything. Life is precious period. We have need of God to adjust our hearts glasses on how He sees His creation. He creates infants and He creates precious animals too. We have screwed things up in destroying both and treating both with no respect. Scripture tells us we will all give an account, including for each of our careless words and I hate to think how much more so an account for our ugly mindset to say that a baby is just a bunch of cells when we know that is not true and that an animal is just an animal. God creates every life intentionally.
Animals matter too, but there's a hierarchy involved. God doesn't tell us to value animal life as much as human life. This is how it is. I'm against animal cruelty, but it's retarded to act like killing a cow or a chicken for food is comparable to committing murder against another person. It's not even close.
You do not understand rationality. When we say dogs are "smart," we do not mean they are capable of understanding ethics. We mean they follow orders pretty well and can maybe tell if you're having a bad day. Your average phone can do that and much more. What neither can do is think abstractly. Ethically, a dog has the same value as a rock: it is valuable insofar as it serves us. Only humans have inherent value regardless of utility.
He's talking about the capacity for moral reasoning. I don't care how smart a dog is, it will NEVER be put on trial in a court of law, even if it mauls someone to death. Humans are just different in their being., having the ability to premeditate, to reflect, and to reason.
Good speech. You’re still wrong about capital punishment though. The reason it was historically allowable (even is under some circumstances) is because some criminals couldn’t be held, so they posed an actual danger. That is rarely the case today.
The one point where I disagree is when you say "obviously, we would not be killing the innocent in self-defense". In almost all circumstances, it makes no sense to say both that a killing is done in self defense and yet also the one being killed is innocent. But abortion is exactly the kind of situation where both can be true. Consider the most common exception proposed for abortion: medical necessity due to extraordinary health complications. In that scenario, just as you say in the case of self-defense, the primary intention is not to kill anyone, but merely to protect oneself, and the fact that that involves killing someone is secondary. The person being killed is innocent, as there is no criminal act or malicious intent on their part, and yet they are still doing great harm to the mother, who may then defend herself from that harm. The natural argument from the pro-choice side is then, if extraordinary health risks and stresses can turn abortion into self-defense rather than murder, why aren't the ordinary health risks and stresses of pregnancy already sufficient to make it self-defense rather than murder? On the basis of that argument, I'd say the rape exception is reasonable as well. In that situation, even the ordinary stresses of pregnancy are effectively a continuation of the assault that was already done to her. But that argument falls apart in the typical case: a reasonably healthy pregnancy resulting from consensual sex. In that typical case, the consent to sex, with the easily foreseeable possible consequence of pregnancy, undercuts the claim of self-defense. It's a common principle in self-defense law that, basically, if you're the one who created the confrontation in the first place, then you don't get to claim self-defense, because all you had to do was not create the confrontation. So the self-defense argument doesn't hold water for the vast majority of abortions, but it seems reasonable for the commonly proposed exceptional circumstances.
If life is a gift from God, of which we do not have the ability to gibe or end, why are we aloud to kill in other aspects. You suggest capital punishment which involves taking God given life away from someone. We've been commanded to rule over the animals and the ability to eat them but not criminals. God is the judge not us, correct?
God Himself is the first one to command capital punishment. " And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image."- Gen. 9:5-6. This is what God told Noah right after he and his family came out of the ark, after the floodwaters had receded.
Serious question: How can you believe in original sin _and_ that babies are innocent? The two ideas seem mutually exclusive. The baby isn't innocent until its been baptized.
What he means is the baby didn’t do anything to earn the death sentence carried out by the doctor. That doesn’t mean there’s no stain of original sin. We are all sinners, but we don’t kill people because they are unbaptized.
My rights to my body trump the "rights" of any embryo or fetus. Abortion is the ending of a life; that doesn't mean it's murder. Ending the life of a cow or a pig is still the ending of a life, but it isn't murder.
The following is from cambridge dictionary. Meaning of murder in English
murder noun [ C or U ] US /ˈmɝː.dɚ/ UK /ˈmɜː.dər/ murder noun [C or U] (CRIME) Add to word list B1 the crime of intentionally killing a person: By definition abortion is murder. Also, what are you smoking that you think the life of a cow or a pig is in anyway comparable to the life of a human?
I agree with Michael's position on abortion. However, if it is always wrong to kill a human - other than in self defense - he should also oppose the death penalty. Once you allow cold blooded killing for 'certain reasons' you are firmly on the slippery slope and you can no longer form a watertight moral argument against killing babies, or really anyone.
I agree. And it’s so easy to judge wrongly. Many have been killed and later we have found out the person was actually innocent. Today, unlike in the past, we have prisons. So locking people up there also removes the threat they impose on society.
@@johnowens5342 You mean the one who said to forgive everyone and turn the other cheek? Or the OT one who said all forms of adultery must be punished by death? Don't use your god as an authority, he's even more confused than most pro-abortion people are.

It genuinely feels like an "alien" when he or she is moving around in your belly. Because it's a completely separate human. Makes sense right?

I think a lot of us out there will have to give a reckoning to God regarding our laziness and irresponsibility regarding how we treated our pets/animals. animals were once respected for what they contributed and gave us: companionship guardianship, milk, wool,, meat and were valued. Now they are trashed as commodities. Oh, it's just an animal people even Christians say when a dog dies. God doesn't create just a anything. Life is precious period. We have need of God to adjust our hearts glasses on how He sees His creation. He creates infants and He creates precious animals too. We have screwed things up in destroying both and treating both with no respect. Scripture tells us we will all give an account, including for each of our careless words and I hate to think how much more so an account for our ugly mindset to say that a baby is just a bunch of cells when we know that is not true and that an animal is just an animal. God creates every life intentionally.
Animals matter too, but there's a hierarchy involved. God doesn't tell us to value animal life as much as human life. This is how it is. I'm against animal cruelty, but it's retarded to act like killing a cow or a chicken for food is comparable to committing murder against another person. It's not even close.
You do not understand rationality. When we say dogs are "smart," we do not mean they are capable of understanding ethics. We mean they follow orders pretty well and can maybe tell if you're having a bad day. Your average phone can do that and much more. What neither can do is think abstractly.
Ethically, a dog has the same value as a rock: it is valuable insofar as it serves us. Only humans have inherent value regardless of utility.
You don’t understand the term rational.
He's talking about the capacity for moral reasoning. I don't care how smart a dog is, it will NEVER be put on trial in a court of law, even if it mauls someone to death. Humans are just different in their being., having the ability to premeditate, to reflect, and to reason.

Good speech. You’re still wrong about capital punishment though. The reason it was historically allowable (even is under some circumstances) is because some criminals couldn’t be held, so they posed an actual danger. That is rarely the case today.
Sure, dangerous criminals never get out of prison and return to society. Oh, wait, do they?
@@reliantncc1864 That’s the justice system failing. You don’t fix one problem by implementing another.
I see so many pro choice people builie amd cry when other youtube posts in there comments like they are all children
The one point where I disagree is when you say "obviously, we would not be killing the innocent in self-defense". In almost all circumstances, it makes no sense to say both that a killing is done in self defense and yet also the one being killed is innocent. But abortion is exactly the kind of situation where both can be true. Consider the most common exception proposed for abortion: medical necessity due to extraordinary health complications. In that scenario, just as you say in the case of self-defense, the primary intention is not to kill anyone, but merely to protect oneself, and the fact that that involves killing someone is secondary. The person being killed is innocent, as there is no criminal act or malicious intent on their part, and yet they are still doing great harm to the mother, who may then defend herself from that harm.
The natural argument from the pro-choice side is then, if extraordinary health risks and stresses can turn abortion into self-defense rather than murder, why aren't the ordinary health risks and stresses of pregnancy already sufficient to make it self-defense rather than murder? On the basis of that argument, I'd say the rape exception is reasonable as well. In that situation, even the ordinary stresses of pregnancy are effectively a continuation of the assault that was already done to her. But that argument falls apart in the typical case: a reasonably healthy pregnancy resulting from consensual sex. In that typical case, the consent to sex, with the easily foreseeable possible consequence of pregnancy, undercuts the claim of self-defense. It's a common principle in self-defense law that, basically, if you're the one who created the confrontation in the first place, then you don't get to claim self-defense, because all you had to do was not create the confrontation.
So the self-defense argument doesn't hold water for the vast majority of abortions, but it seems reasonable for the commonly proposed exceptional circumstances.
Second
If life is a gift from God, of which we do not have the ability to gibe or end, why are we aloud to kill in other aspects. You suggest capital punishment which involves taking God given life away from someone. We've been commanded to rule over the animals and the ability to eat them but not criminals. God is the judge not us, correct?
Some criminals are also animals.
God Himself is the first one to command capital punishment. " And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image."- Gen. 9:5-6. This is what God told Noah right after he and his family came out of the ark, after the floodwaters had receded.

Serious question:
How can you believe in original sin _and_ that babies are innocent?
The two ideas seem mutually exclusive.
The baby isn't innocent until its been baptized.
What he means is the baby didn’t do anything to earn the death sentence carried out by the doctor. That doesn’t mean there’s no stain of original sin. We are all sinners, but we don’t kill people because they are unbaptized.
Unborn babies are innocent.
When we are born we are born into sin.

My rights to my body trump the "rights" of any embryo or fetus. Abortion is the ending of a life; that doesn't mean it's murder. Ending the life of a cow or a pig is still the ending of a life, but it isn't murder.
The following is from cambridge dictionary.
Meaning of murder in English
murder
noun [ C or U ]
US /ˈmɝː.dɚ/ UK /ˈmɜː.dər/
murder noun [C or U] (CRIME)

the crime of intentionally killing a person:
By definition abortion is murder. Also, what are you smoking that you think the life of a cow or a pig is in anyway comparable to the life of a human?
We are humans not animals and yes ending a human life is murder

I agree with Michael's position on abortion. However, if it is always wrong to kill a human - other than in self defense - he should also oppose the death penalty. Once you allow cold blooded killing for 'certain reasons' you are firmly on the slippery slope and you can no longer form a watertight moral argument against killing babies, or really anyone.
I agree. And it’s so easy to judge wrongly. Many have been killed and later we have found out the person was actually innocent.
Today, unlike in the past, we have prisons. So locking people up there also removes the threat they impose on society.
God already gave the guidelines on that process, no slope to slip on.
@@johnowens5342 You mean the one who said to forgive everyone and turn the other cheek? Or the OT one who said all forms of adultery must be punished by death?
Don't use your god as an authority, he's even more confused than most pro-abortion people are.

Yes
My father-in-law committed suicide in front of my wife, my mother-in-law and myself. If that wasn’t selfish then I don’t know what is.
That is probably the most selfish thing you can do
It's only murder if the mother didn't want the baby to die.
All good stuff, except for the "our bodies are made to eat animals" baloney.
Carnivore diet on grass raised animals fixes most modern health issues. Meat raised unnaturally on grains does not.
I guess all humans since the beginning of time are wrong and you are right...
Nah, you're just misinformed. We aren't herbivores.
@@Xeno_Solarus Just because you CAN eat the rotting, decaying flesh of other beings doesn't mean that you should...
The issue is with grain that has been heavily modified over time. So people dump it and turn to meat and think it's the natural solution. When in reality it's the grain they stopped consuming that helped them heal.
