Personally, I think you are ignoring me because it's obvious you have no Master's Degree. You are unable to conduct yourself in any written format that screams to me "Educated." Secondly, There is no way you taught in a Church having more idealisms coinciding to the world than with God. Thirdly, I've never met a true Christian Demoncrat. You are a rare breed because like your Degree, you are full of Baloney!
maybe you are not aware, but no one in Judea ever bought two sparrows for a farthing. farthings didn't even exist until maybe the 12th century.
the word is assarion, not farthing. it is a Roman currency of the era God chose to come and walk among His people.
if every word of God is pure and significant why change it from a Roman money to an English one? is it okay i scratch out 'Rome' in my copy of the KJV every time i see it and write 'England' ? why or why not?
what is significant about sparrows being bought for a Roman coin, instead of a drachma or shekel?

Some peradventure would have no varietie of sences to be set in the margine, lest the authoritie of the Scriptures for deciding of controversies by that shew of uncertaintie, should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgmet not to be so be so sound in this point. For though, whatsoever things are necessary are manifest, as S. Chrysostome saith, and as S. Augustine, In those things that are plainely set downe in the Scriptures, all such matters are found that concerne Faith, hope, and Charitie. Yet for all that it cannot be dissembled, that partly to exercise and whet our wits, partly to weane the curious from loathing of them for their every-where-plainenesse, partly also to stirre up our devotion to crave the assistance of Gods spirit by prayer, and lastly, that we might be forward to seeke ayd of our brethren by conference, and never scorne those that be not in all respects so complete as they should bee, being to seeke in many things our selves, it hath pleased God in his divine providence, heere and there to scatter wordes and sentences of that difficultie and doubtfulnesse, not in doctrinall points that concerne salvation, (for in such it hath beene vouched that the Scriptures are plaine) but in matters of lesse moment, that fearefulnesse would better beseeme us then confidence, and if we will resolve, to resolve upon modestie with S. Augustine, (though not in this same case altogether, yet upon the same ground) Melius est dubitare de occultis, quàm litigare de incertis, it is better to make doubt of those things which are secret, then to strive about those things that are uncertaine. There be many words in the Scriptures, which be never found there but once, (having neither brother nor neighbour, as the Hebrewes speake) so that we cannot be holpen by conference of places. Againe, there be many rare names of certaine birds, beastes and precious stones, &c. concerning which the Hebrewes themselves are so divided among themselves for judgement, that they may seeme to have defined this or that, rather because they would say something, the because they were sure of that which they said, as S. Jerome somewhere saith of the Septuagint. Now in such a case, doth not a margine do well to admonish the Reader to seeke further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or that peremptorily? For as it is a fault of incredulitie, to doubt of those things that are evident: so to determine of such things as the Spirit of God hath left (even in the judgment of the judicious) questionable, can beno lesse then presumption. Therfore as S. Augustine saith, that varietie of Translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures: so diversitie of signification and sense in the margine, where the text is not so cleare, must needes doe good, yea is necessary, as we are perswaded. We know that Sixtus Quintus expresly forbiddeth, that any varietie of readings of their vulgar edition, should be put in the margine, (which though it be not altogether the same thing to that we have in hand, yet it looketh that way) but we thinke he hath not all of his owne side his favourers, for this conceit. They that are wise, had rather have their judgements at libertie in differences of readings, then to be captivated to one, when it may be the other. If they were sure that their hie Priest had all lawes shut up in his brest, as Paul the second bragged, and that he were as free from errour by speciall priviledge, as the Dictators of Rome were made by law inviolable, it were an other matter; then his word were an Oracle, his opinion a decision. But the eyes of the world are now open, God be thanked, and have bene a great while, they find that he is subject to the same affections and infirmities that others be, that his skin is penetrable, and therefore so much as he prooveth, not as much as he claimeth, they grant and embrace.

A law making it legal does not make it moral.
Abortion as a medical procedure may be necessary if the mother's health would be in grave danger carrying the child full-term, or maybe in cases or rape or incest as this may cause permanent trauma to the mother in some cases. In those situations I can understand the possible need for an abortion. It is not however a necessary and valid medical procedure as a form of birth control.
Your profile says Christian, so ask yourself this question, "Does God approve of abortion that ends the life of a child that He knitted in the womb?" As a Christian, I say not, and that God most definitely does not approve and probably breaks His heart when an innocent child of His is destroyed for the sole reason that it might cramp someone's lifestyle.
You claim that abortion is a necessary and valid medical procedure. Apparently you don't know medicine.
