Many of you have written asking that we post reader responses, both positive and negative. I usually toss the negative mail so most of these are from the Abortion is Not a Sin web page. I'll start saving the general negative responses to post here. Do check out the letters from friends as well.

I've omitted personal information in most cases and edited for brevity, believe me, negativity just goes on and on.

Feel free to write to anyone who's e-mail address is included.

This is the biggest bunch of bullshit that I've ever heard. How would you like to be one of the innocent babies that are brutaly murdered? I agree with the comment below, and hope you burn in HELL.

The Bible does not clearly state that dropping acid is not a sin, yet, it does not clearly state that it IS a sin. Many say that it was created by God. While it may not explicitly say word for word in God's word that abortion isn't a sin, there's a principle behind the pro-life issue, that God created life and that life is scared. We do not have the right to take the life of a child with a beating heart, MADE by God. Hope you can see my point.

I really don't think people like you should be allowed to learn how to read and write. Then the bible will just be a load of gibberish for you and you can't do any harm.

I won't sicken you by telling you that I'm going to pray for you...but please know that I am...I hope you have a good day..I really do..Because you'll have precious few later...

Don't take my right to life. You had your right to life. How do you know what I might grow up to be? I might bring you joy and love, life is a Gift from Above. Don't take my right to life away from me!

I think that abortion is a sin!! God creates every thing on this earth, and everything on this earth deserves a chance to see the world, get a job, get married, have kids, and just enjoy their time here.

As a whole, I find your logic flawed, your stated objectives contradicted, and your theology skewed. I have withheld gender notification to prevent superficial accusations of bias.

Sir I don't find any humor in this trash you call Adult Christian Humor. Sir do you trash the word of God because you live a life style he would not find expectable.
yours in Christ

i cannot believe you would go a twist the words of GOD. you should be a shamed of yourselves. i hope you burn in hell for such blasphemy

Thank you so much for this brilliant web site. This truly shows that we in favor of abortion truly walk under God's banner! I don't know who would be STUPID enough to think that God actually protects those moving, living fetuses inside pregnant women's bellies! Man, those people who think that killing babies is wrong certainly are messed up in the head. I believe that God wants us to kill more. Why limit ourselves to simply our young; I'm sure that we could twist scripture around enough to defend killing anyone! Yes, back to the good old days of wholesome non-disciminatory killings! Your site is leading the way.

...That case made, you would have to argue that this killing of a living, human being is different than any other murder. This would be difficult for anybody with a concience. I don't doubt that this post will be ignored, but if you would like to give me an answer to my question, a question which has not been answered by any pro-abortion person I know, please e-mail me at pnolette@anselm.edu.

In closing, I find it facinating that you claim to be a higher authority on translating the meaning of the Bible than the Pope, who, if you are truly religious, you know has a special connection with God only granted him. I await your response.

Hell awaits you.

We must remember that during the conjugal act of love, there are five people present. Husband, wife and God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Therefore that soul is implanted at the moment of conception simply because God is present to breath the breath of life into our nostrils, as tiny as they may be.

I HAVE READ YOUR INTERNET ARTICLE AND STILL DISAGREE WITH YOUR TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE. NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE ANOTHER MANS LIFE, THAT'S WERE THE GOOD LORD COMES IN, NOT "US" HUMANS WHO FEEL WE CAN EXPLAIN WHY LIVE IS AND HOW IT SHOULD BE LIVED. LEAVE THE DIRTY WORK TO GOD. INSTEAD OF CREATING A SAFETY NET FOR IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO HAVE SEX AT ANY RISK. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU ALL WERE TO WRITE ME BACK ASAP.

Women deceive themselves that it is their right to their own body so they don't feel guilty about killing a child. But the fact of the matter is this...you play, you pay! Sometimes, God will allow a woman to become pregnant to see if she will act responsibly. Still we are not to decide who, or what, gets to live or die. No matter what, though, God will always love us, unconditionally, always calling us to turn from our sins to avoid his merciless wrath.

How can you think that gays are going to heaven? Indeed they are not. Not practising ones anyway. In Matthew the story of the prostitute. Jesus said to her "Go and sin NO MORE". We haven't got the right to condemn homosexuals for God will condemn them to hell at the judgement day.

Jesus still loves you even though you are throwing away your only true way to salvation. you think this life sucks, wait until you reach the next. You will== remember my words in hell. hell is as real as the stuff you put in this web page. I= love you.

I don't understand why women get hung up on pro-choice!
