First of all the verse in Hosea states clearly that slaughter was another incident invoked and allowed

by monster god as another punishment to his chosen. If this god is all knowing as you claim, he knew what was going to happen and did nothing to at least protect the innocent. There are way too many verses dealing with this monster god commanding the people to not only kill the men but everyone and everything that breathes, including suckling infants and ALL WOMEN. There is no word even attempting to forbid the killing of expectant mothers of which there would have been many. How do you defend this horrible god bringing on calamities so bad the people had to kill and eat their own kids? In gods own words he admitted he did this to horrify them and make them know I am god! Well, that should horrify any sane person who even reads it. Over and over the children suffer one way or another at the hands of this devil god. I would never serve such a revolting egotistical lunatic and call it my god. My views are just thatmine. I live by what my conscious dictates to me. If I were a bible thumper following the lead of your god nothing would be sacred, not even the life of a baby. I would never choose abortion unless it was proven beyond doubt the mother would die in delivery. There have been cases where the mother decided to go against the medical diagnosis and went on to give birth and live to raise the child. I dont make decisions for anyone other than myself. To conceive is to bring together the elements that create life in the womb. Pregnancy means the state of nurturing and growing a human child. To me the words embryo and fetus are nothing more than the stages we all go through to fully develop into the human child that emerges in 9 months. When we have gardens and see tiny little tomatoes we dont call them tomato embryos and we dont pick them before they are ripe because we know they will grow to be tomatoes. We love looking at birds sitting on eggs and only a cruel person would destroy those eggs. Why does the mother bird care so strongly for those eggs? She knows these are her babies that she will soon see and feed. The Constitution says everyone has the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Everyone means just that. We are not to just wish that for ourselves but for all people. Who is supposed to keep those rights intact for the children, infants and even the unborn until they reach the age to do so for themselves? The moment of conception is the moment of transformation into what will be a bouncing baby in just 9 short months. Abortion has become the national birth control method to the tune of millions each year. That is purely disgusting. Baby parts is an industry that brings in trillions a year thus encouraging the continuation of partial birth abortion which in my opinion is cold blooded murder. Many doctors who perform that ghastly procedure call themselves Christians. The one who was gunned down in his church was a deacon on Sunday and murdered full term babies during the week. He was just following in the steps of his monster god.

Statistics show that well over 70% of females who have abortions suffer depression and extreme guilt. Some have committed suicide, had headstones placed in cemeteries, take flowers to the mock graves on the childs birthday and other means to ease the grief. What others think or do is up to them but I do believe in karma and what we plant is what crop we will harvest and have to eat. As for the children born into abuse, thank goodness for people like Nada. Which is worse, aborting a baby or abusing a child? Who has the right to make that call? At least there is a chance to end abuse but a dead child will remain dead. Will we practice eugenics because of what we think. I hope not. People are free to make their own decisions but I am not an advocate of abortion and never will be. That is another reason I abhor your god Charles. He has no respect for life whether human or animal. Cruelty in any form is repulsive and unacceptable but killing and abuse of a child is criminal in my book no matter who does it.
