How could you remember something that happened before you were alive?
Anyway, irregardless has been in use for centuries and was included in the dictionary almost 100 years ago.
If you believe so, but I must question your use of “almost” as you throw around “most” as if it is quantitatively definitive.
Ok, 1934. That’s when it was included in the dictionary. But you remember when it wasn’t in the dictionary because you are over 88 years old. Happy?
Much happier
The full definition is " the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the [embryo] or [fetus] "
The definition has the death of the child/ embryo/ fetus as a by product because it comes under the assumption that anyone having an abortion would not be inhumane enough to wait until the child can survive to have one.
But moving away from defining words.
What do you think occurs if a pregnancy is terminated and the child is alive? Does the child vanish? Does the child get adopted? Does the mother get congratulated and handed the baby?
Apparently what happens is:
“My medical records state: ‘Born alive during saline abortion’ at 6 am. Thankfully, the abortionist was not at work yet. Had he been there, he would have ended my life with strangulation, suffocation, or leaving me there to die.””
“the House Judiciary Committee about her experience as a registered nurse in the labor and delivery department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, where she discovered babies being aborted alive and shelved to die in the department’s soiled utility close”
" In 2005, a mother delivered her 23-week-old baby in the toilet at EPOC Clinic in Orlando, Florida, and was shocked to see him move. Abortion staff not only refused to help but turned away paramedics, whom her friend had notified by calling 911 Angele could do no more than helplessly sit on the floor rocking and singing to her baby for 11 minutes until he died."
The reality is, regardless of what definitions you hide behind, if a baby survives a terminated pregnancy it is giving birth. The purpose of an abortion is not to give birth so the death of the child/ fetus/ embryo is critical.

“A rose by any other name…” Sure people can play word games. It certainly seems to be the latest fashion. But it’s a stupid game. You can call abortion, “Wood working” or “tranquility and peace” and it still means terminating a human life in utero.
If yall want to play word games and that makes you feel better, sure go nuts. The stubbornness of the actual reality does not change.

Truth; we are in the exact position this country was before Roe v. Wade was passed, on that bitter cold in January day in 1973. We have turned the clock back, but the last two years has been hard. You know where I live, and I’ll be starting to volunteer where I get to help single mothers and other couples face their crisis pregnancy. When my wife and I had our first child, I remember crying with joy; my life up to that point had been hard. But that crisis was one of the greatest times in my life.
People who think the slaughter of an innocent child, is no big deal, they aren’t even open to not being selfish. Then, the people think that if it’s “an embryo,” but wait, when does life start? Oh, that literal spark in the uterus of the mother, at the moment of conception, it’s only unexplained. But, people would have to think of others, and not kill the life they are responsible for creating. Why would the people grow up, now, in 2024?
There was a pro-LIFE march on the anniversary, almost tweo months ago, and there was a bunch of those pink pussy hats. It was awesome, I’d get behind them and say, “Wasn’t Roe overturned?” The venemous looks were awesome!! They were mad they couldn’t have consequence free sex. Yet, I feel sorry because of their willful ignorance.
Nope, this Union is collapsing in less than a year. Good on ya, liberals. “thumb-up”
But in reality, it’s because America is a protestant country, what there now, over 40,000 different denominations? Now, Pope Francis might be an idiot, but the Barque of Peter will never capsize.
It’s awesome being back!!
I guess in the time you’ve been away you didn’t find a life.
What a great example of Christian behavior. It reminds me of Jesus Himself.

I dunno about “the children”. Thats for each person to answer themselves.
But who ever killed this horse you guys keep beating needs to be held to account, whether by man or God!
Blame Jude.
So, zecarlo, what would you do? Unless it’s actually you, who is Christ reincarnated?
Nah, I hope I’m wrong, but the election in November will be another linchpin. But we can’t do much, other than train, grow and work for the greater good; who is GOD.
Sorry @SkyzykS, I’m not sure what you are trying to imply here. Blame the medium, I do ; ) Now as for the part about “killed this horse you guys keep beating,” sorry my man, Roe was overturned and there are still millions of kids slaughtered in this country alone. States like California and New York, they won’t even publish their numbers. You and I both know why, because their sewers are the graves for most of the children.
If that sits alright with you, thank GOD I won’t be at your judgement seat.
Okay.
Not sure which State you, or they, are in, but that just made abortion a State issue.
No one wearing one of the above-mentioned hats is concerned about consequence-free sex. They’d settle for any sort. Even if they were, it’d be entirely possible to have consequence-free sex(as consequence-free as ever, anyway) even if all forms of abortion were banned.
Not proudly (a sin) proclaim myself a Christian while stating something that did not happen (a lie, which is a sin). But let’s assume you were telling the truth; rather than spend my time mocking women to their faces (really, behind their backs), I would have spent that time with my child, you know, being a father.
This is sacrilege. A real Christian would not make a statement to the effect of, “if I were God I would…” In essence, you have not only questioned His judgment but have said you would do things differently, implying you would do it better. You’re a phony.
