With all this talk of cells, I'm feeling a little queasy. Is the "morning after pill" considered abortion from this perspective? I never viewed it as abortion. But now with all this talk of cells...even though it didn't attach to the uterus, and start growing, obviously the zygote, the single cell was present? Is this single cell wrong to abort? It seems so. If all the genetic information was decided at that moment of conception, it would seem even aborting that cell before implanting in the uterus would be abortion. Oh my heavens. i'm sure I'm going to loose sleep over this one Crying or Very Sad

Abortion is something my wife and I have discussed extensively. We are truly against it, but not because we were told to be, but because we researched it and see that may babies are aborted when they can feel and think and even react. The silent scream and frantic jumping as the baby is torn limb from limb is something everyone should realize is wrong!

As far as the morning after pill. I can't say that it should never be used. Life is life. We kill cells all the time. Life is found in the sperm. Normally millions of them "die" while one is allowed into the egg to become a zygote. But the life is there prior to one joining with the egg. (Note: I accept that the process is not about the first sperm to get to the egg and that the egg can reject a sperm via what I believe is a mechanical DNA mismatch prevention mechanism, but I don't want to take the discussion there. Also, a woman can produce a baby without male sperm, so there is life/intelligence there. And you might say that having a period is an abortion. or a miscarriage is a natural abortion.) My point is millions of sperm cells die all the time. What makes a Zygote more valuable than the sperm dying and the egg dying that happens nearly every month for most married couples? I don't know. Sure they are joined together and you have the potential of human life. There are intelligences that is excited to become a person and working feverishly to accomplish that. But at that stage in the game, I wouldn't criticize someone for avoiding/preventing that potential from becoming a reality because if they are avoiding it at that stage, then they probably aren't ready for it.

As of yet, I don't think the morning after pill is a big deal. It may be, but I don't yet see the reasoning. I think that it really needs to be a personal decision that is carefully weighed with the spirit. However, when the zygote develops to a certain level, I think that your decision was made and you are walking the line of murder. Some people think that if it hasn't come out yet, it is ok to abort... I very much disagree with that.

This thread is intensely interesting. I had an "experience" last month. During the experience I was rubbing the third eye to un-calcify it. The person overseeing me was trying to get me to stop and I calmly kept telling her that I was decalcifying my pineal gland. Since then I've done it every once in a while. How interesting that you guys have done it! WooHoo! I'm not crazy.

Hahaha, I would draw that conclusion just yet...But you can be certain that you are not alone in your craziness!
