Abortion: When Does Life Begin? - R.C. Sproul

[@conanlabiche]

rc never disapoints. always on point. thanks for his teaching. thank you Lord.

[@michaeljmasseri973]

I cannot go with the mere thought of abortion without crying. Chokes me up everytime and if it has that type of reaction inside of my soul it can't be good

[@dianedo1234]

Wow. This says something profound about you, as you feel this issue so deeply. God made you a gentle soul, and this world needs you. For me, I must pray and surrender this issue to the Blessed Mother. Oh, I believe we are in the midst of this absolute genocide, and The Almighty Father is very, very angry.

[@rcayers1700]

I've talked with, listened to many women who have had an abortion, some more than one. There is a very common life-long response throughout their life that is extremely difficult to endure, it never goes away. A high percent of them must endure it. Some suicide from it, they can't take it. That is, they suffer intense guilt, sorrow, angst and depression because their child / children are dead and gone from their choice to abort. The pro-choice ppl refuse to look at, hear about these desperate post-abortion women because it is prevalent, common, numerous and seriously intensely hard to endure ... all the way through life. But, the opportunity to hear and speak to these experienced abortion-experienced women, mothers would be entirely valuable to women about to abort - something the abortion clinics would fiercely oppose with anger and rage.

If we found a single living cell on another planet, people would trip. You bet every head line would say "life on mars", but you have a nervous system, a brain, lungs, and extremities inside a womb and people are not sure if we call it life, or a bundle of cells, or an inconvenience...Life begins at conception A fetus has a heartbeat at 6 weeks. A fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks. A fetus has a functioning brain, liver, kidneys, and intestines at 10 weeks. A fetus makes facial expressions and sucks their thumb at 14 weeks. If you stop someone's heartbeat (they die) it's considered murder. If you remove a person's brain, kidneys, or intestines they'll die and it's murder. If you cause someone to feel pain (depending on severity) they can die. So the only thing differentiating murder and "legal abortion" is location??? That's just insa

A sperm cell is alive. If you've ever jerked off, you're guilty of genocide :( LOL

@@ElAteoMexicano a sperm cell is not an individual human life with it's own genetic identity.

[@ElAteoMexicano]

@@comababy3154 So you think all sperm cells are genetically the same? If that were the case, paternity testing would be impossible. I think you need to take a basic biology course.

[@comababy3154]

@@ElAteoMexicano doesn't beat the fact that a sperm cell is not a human being

[@danielhoisington6973]

ElAteoMexicano If you leave a sperm cell to itself, what follows? Nothing. It never grows into a human being. If you leave an un-fertilized egg to itself, what follows? Nothing. It never grows into a human being. If you leave an egg, fertilized by a sperm, to itself, what happens? Life. Left to itself, it will go through the natural process of becoming a living human person.

[@madambutterfly7513]

God is the Creator of all life, so from conception, a baby is a human child, how can anyone deny this???

[@denniswakabayashi4199]

most conceptions will be spontaneously aborted, you saying most people will be killed off before being born??? what a dope

[@patrickc3419]

I am reading RC Sproul’s book “Abortion” right now, which is very well done.

[@jeffdollar1646]

Very timely and necessary study.

Por favor, necesitamos este episodio en español. Muy necesario en estos días en que está en boga el aborto.

[@NannaTina]

If you are killing it it’s alive, so clearly it’s a life.

[@goranmilic442]

There is no specific point when life starts. If conception happens at Monday, at Wednesday a zygote is still one cell and then in Friday zygote splits in two organisms (identical twins), how can we say that lives of those identical twins started at Monday?

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

@@goranmilic442 again this doesn’t make any sense, I don’t know why you think this is a good point, Life does begin at conception, your example completely fails, yes they would be life.

[@goranmilic442]

@@goranmilic442 that example fails for a few reasons first of all, yes that would happen at conception,This really is not a good point this doesn’t debunk that life begins at conception.

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

@@goranmilic442 if they were twins it would happen pretty much immediately one may be a little bit after but it would not take two days, where are you getting this from. And also conception can take a few days to actually finish, so this is another reason why your example completely fails. I mean i’ll give you a round of applause for bringing up an argument that I don’t hear that often but it’s still bad.

When was this originally filmed?

[@kwpp7]

Judging by the people's clothing and R.C.'s perm, I'd say the `80s, haha

[@michaeljmasseri973]

Please don't describe the pain they go through. We all know what's really going on here and it's devil tricking people fooling people. They say he was a murderer from the start I think that's what that refers to

In fact it's pre-meditated murder...

[@denniswakabayashi9000]

There are no anti-abortion laws in any state which would trigger murder charges. Stop lying!

[@dianedo1234]

Gosh, one posting said that Mr. Sproul (above) was deceased. He is not. He is only 56. He is a Junior. His father died in December, 2017. This having been said, and not having seen his father, this gentleman is wonderful, he also possesses a Doctorate in Divinity. As a Catholic, I must say that he is even more gracious, articulate and well, an orator in the most traditional sense. Many, many priests do not possess this skill. (Gee, I hope I did not just sin!)

[@davidg1552]

No, this man died in 2017. It’s his son you’re speaking of

[@asarose4680]

I. Thought he was smart bye

One mans religion is another mans mythology. You guys need to stop making decisions based on a book written by a bunch of sheep herders that didn't know where the sun went at night to explain what what life is, what is the meaning of life and where life begins.
