First off, a late-term child can be born. So, late-term abortion is unnecessary. Yet late-term abortion is legal in all states (and DC).

In these states, there are no restrictions on late-term abortions, well into viability: Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont. Again, they can be killed for any reason, or no reason.

These states allow late-term abortion if the mother's life is threatened: Idaho, Michigan, Rhode Island.

These states allow abortion if the mother's health (not life) is threatened, even if it's not her "physical" health. In that case, mental health has been used as an excuse for abortion: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Virginia, and Washington

Other states allow it if her physical health is threatened, even if it doesn't threaten her life. So, even if her life is not in danger, the child can still be killed: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Added up, that is 51. So, all states, plus Washington DC.

Also, Arkansas and Utah allow to kill the late-term (viable) children of rape or incest victims. And other states have laws allowing late-term abortion for fetal abnormalities.

Even our strictest states have made late-term abortion legal. That's how far we've gone in legalizing abortion. We are not even close to banning abortion in this country.

There are many, many people who say Christianity started around 0 A.D. Say that it started with Jesus. Say that other religions existed before Christianity.

But Jesus said "before Abraham was, I am."

Jesus is God. And God created the world. God created the Earth. God created Adam and Eve. So, Jesus was at the creation of the universe.

Also, our Bible doesn't start with Jesus, or the Apostles. It starts with God creating the heavens and the earth. So, how can someone know we follow the Bible, and say that our religion started with Jesus?

The Bible is one story. One long story about God creating mankind, and redeeming mankind. And in a way, that story continues to this day. It's a story that begins at the beginning, and has no end in sight.

Also, for this reason, no religion predates Christianity. None of them. How can they? How can a religion predate God creating the world?

So, God created everything. And Christianity is the worship of the One True God. And God is eternal. Our religion not only predates all other religions, but it even predates mankind.

A people and their government cannot be secular and survive.

There are exceptions. But for the most part, people shouldn't date or be engaged longer than a year or two.

In fact, over a year is a rather long time!

For dating, how long does it really take to get to know someone, and decide whether or not you're willing to marry them? Does it really take over a year? It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where two people spend regular time with each other over an entire year, and still can't decide whether they're willing or unwilling to marry that person.

And once you've decided to get married, what's the point in waiting another year or two? How long does it take to get some family together, get an officiant, and get married? A month or two? I think anything over 3 months is a long engagement.

And this ties back to Christianity because people should just choose, or not choose. Not play around. Not play games. Not tempt themselves with lust and sin. Not waste the time God has given us.
