Pro Choice and the President

President Barack Obama receiving an honorary law degree on Sunday has been protested by 74 Catholic bishops and more than 360,000 Catholics signing a petition at NotreDameScandal.com because of his stance on abortion

The abortion issue stems from the Catholic Church who stubbornly insists that life begins at conception though this view is unsupported by science or any other spiritual tradition. Jewish Law is specific that the child begins at 41 days after conception and this view is corroborated by doctors who have determined that brain waves from the fetus begin at 41 days–the Koran concurs a child begins at 41 days.

The problem with dogma and the people who cling to the institution is the door to the mind has been closed and sealed by the dogma. The Zohar-Book of Secret describes how the soul prepares to come into the body during the forty days of gustation, but even the rabbis who maintain their law is the strictest of law and stricter than the Torah is too strict do not consider terminating a pregnancy before 41 days an abortions.

It is interesting to note that the president who is pro-choice has a wife and two daughters while those promulgating the idea that life begins at conception are celibate.
