Although that's vague for me, I can tell it focuses you on all issues. <<why are you so angry with those that would help the little fellars into Heaven? >> Even though your phrasing (help the little fellars) implies kindness and consideration for the condition of their souls we both know that is not the primary intent or even an after thought in the decision to abort a fetus. I can't help it if I believe in God and that God grants us a soul at the end of the first trimester. I can't help it if you don't believe that. I don't believe in saviors. Another thing I believe is that I have a responsibility for supporting the well being of and justice for all of Gods creations. So, whereas it might be easier for me to be less obstinate on some issues it would not be responsible for me and my soul is what is at stake. <<If you maintain your obstinate position against fetal souls going to Heaven>> Of course this is your attempt to needle me but when you say.. <<you are going to have a lot of angry fetal souls waiting for you either up there, or down there. And don't think for an instant that 1.4 million fetus souls are not waiting for you to get there to give your soul a vengeful beating, even if it is in Heaven! <g> >> I do believe that all of creation will have an opportunity to testify on behalf of my actions in this life. That is, given any circumstance I found myself in did I speak, act, fight in the cause of truth and justice, did I do nothing, or did I support corruption and abuse. I don't believe in reincarnation, so this is my souls only chance to be tested, to struggle and with God's mercy be granted a reward in eternity. I'm not a joiner in temporal commitments that could cause me to comprimise what I find in my heart at any given time to be the right choice. If you haven't given serious thought to eternity, you might want to. I am pretty confident that party affiliation, socio-economic status etc. wont mean much.
