If infants in the womb have souls, regardless of religion; nobody is going to be off the hook.

If you prescribed to that particular facet of belief, that is are you problem. Don't try and push your dogmatic views down others throats.

Dude, it doesn’t matter if it’s Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Islam; any religion that says infants have souls, is not likely to have a God lenient to that action.

It’s a bet on atheism, declaring that any religion whatsoever preaching infant ensoulment must be false. Be careful what you bet on.

Each of those has sects that do not follow the talking point you're putting forward. If it isn't clear to them, then by what right do you get to declare the truth for everyone else? Go debate some more, before trying to unilaterally rule for all mankind.

Case in point, quit waving your religious dogma in my face. Its not wanted. I've no desire, and quite frankly, absolutely no need, to be careful what I bet on in terms of beliefs. Anything that requires belief without proof meeting even the most meagre bar height is nonsense.

Since you seem to be giving others here a hard time about Abrahamic ideas of belief, hell, and morals, I'll leave you with a quote from your own book:

Matthew 6:1: “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

Islam typically sides with people doing what they have to to live, including eating pork if that is what it takes to survive. In regards to abortion, the mothers life takes paramount.

For most of it's history Protestantism did not take any specific issue with abortion and considered it a weird Catholic thing similar to their views on birth control. It wasn't until the 1960s that this shifted, largely due to political machinations.

Do you have a soul? Do I?

You can indeed live a life in fear of holy retribution, but you do not have the right to force others to do so as well.

Who gave you a right to insist that there is no right?

By what divine authority do you say we need not concern ourselves with even the possibility of a divine authority?

Re:First hormone-free male birth control pill enters human t... by saagarjha on Sunday April 20, 2025 @10:50PM (#43748144)
I think trying to appeal to divine authority is unlikely to get you far with a group of people who reject divine authority.

I'm not sure why people get religious about this. The far more interesting approach is to try to use reason along side other current laws to determine the answer to two questions - what defines a human life, and when is it acceptable to take one? For example, trying to compare things like medical support for preterm babies to medical support of coma patients to investigate the logic behind viable fetuses vs various life support methods, etc.

A similar interesting situation is how in some cases murdering a pregnant woman counts as a double homicide because the law includes the unborn child

You didn’t answer my question.

You said that people who are against abortion have no right to say other people can’t get abortions.

By what authority do you declare them to have no right? The UN wrote a document and is humanity’s moral conscience? Yourself and your own head?

Re:First hormone-free male birth control pill enters human t... by saagarjha on Sunday April 20, 2025 @11:06PM (#43748215)
I didn't say anything; I'm not the person you were replying to. But I will say that I suspect your arguments that God has the authority over a document people wrote is, again, unlikely to find an audience among those who don't think He exists.
