Answer 1

The greatest numbers of abortions are performed by God in the form of miscarriages. Therefore the question could be rephrased to ask if God unjustly kills children.
God does not wish for children to suffer and on occasion takes back a child. He uses his wisdom to determine the justness of his actions. And he created us in his image to do his will under his instruction for us to take control of the earth. We are not allowed to simply make the easy decisions. We must make the hard decisions, otherwise we are sinners.
In both Kings and Leviticus God instructs his followers to not only kill the children of sinners, but to kill the parents also.
The New Testament specifies that if your eye should cause you to sin, you are to cut it out, if your hand causes you to sin, you are to cut it off.
Jesus never spoke directly about abortion; however he had mercy on the prostitutes of the period who knew the process of abortion.
In the bible God gives over the control of the Earth to man in the form of free will. We are expected to control the Earth in the same manner as God. That of course would include abortion.
The 10 commandments say nothing of abortion. And in fact give the parent complete control over the child.
God gives control of our bodies to us under our free will. If a law was passed denying that free will when the bible clearly calls for the right to abortion, we would be sinners to follow such a law.
If a woman were to pray to God for wisdom regarding abortion and if God said it was OK and a group of followers of the Anti-Christ said it was wrong, who should the woman listen to. What if the anti-christ influenced the law making process and took away the right to free will.
There are religions that have opposition to Abortion.
For example followers of the anti-Christ would oppose abortion, because abortion would be one of the few ways to end the future reign of the anti-Christ.
Satan followers would be opposed to abortion because it is a manifestation of free will. And Satan is opposed to free will.
Other than these items, religion does not address abortion.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter how old the fetus is because no matter the age killing is killing. God has a plan for the baby and he put it on this earth for a reason. Killing it would be like killing any other human being. If you were to get and abortion the child would never get another chance and it wouldn't even be the child's fault. Think about if you were the baby.

Answer 3

by 4 months your baby has enough coordination and strength to wiggle his or her fingers or toes, clench a fist, even suck a thumb. (How cute is that?) Aside from the daily physical workouts (which you still won’t feel just yet), your baby also spends time in rehearsals preparing for that big debut by breathing, sucking, and swallowing. your baby is allready a girl or a boy! "it" is a he or she! you can hear the heartbeat, it is most definitely a life! WAY before 4 months, if your mother was on life support, and you knew that by keeping her on it for 9 months would make her able to live as she did before, would you pull the plug?no! i should hope not anyway. so why then, if you know that removing this baby from you is the difference between it living or dying, why would you kill it...yes, kill it.

Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine


this speaks for itself, however is NOT gender sensitive...

Answer 4

the bible does not say that until four months it is not a life thats what the law says .abortion is murder and just because its legal does not mean thats its right.if you are considering haveing a abortion i think you should do some research first do you know that most women that have a abortion become pregnate agin within a year!if you are questioning weather or not its murder now just imagine how much you will be questioning it if you decided to go through with it!

Answer 5

Life starts as soon as the egg meets the sperm. Have you looked at what your baby looks like right now? It looks human and has its own heartbeat and everything. It's not just a mass of cells like people want us to think. It would be killing to have an abortion. If you are pregnant and this isn't hypothetical, have the child then give it up for abortion.

Answer 6

It is a sin.
All sin falls short of the perfect grace of God. No "one" sin is greater than another... they are all less than the perfection and holiness of God and therefore require the repentance of the sinner AND the belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He died for your sins.
As far as a fetus under 4 months not being a life yet... that's not according to what science has discovered!
Life begins at conception.
Now you decide!

Answer 7

I strongly believe that abortion is considered murder. You may not look at it this way, but as soon as you concieve, there is a precious life inside of you, that God has blessed you with.
My husband and I have yet to be blessed with one of our own, and we have been trying to over five years now, so we have turned to searching for a child to adopt. I think that if you don't want this baby, you should look into giving it up for adoption, so that the many women who can't have children, could be blessed enough to receive it. Do not just take the kife of an innocent baby, explore your options first.

Answer 8

regrettably we live in a international full of sin. Abortion has killed greater people than the full casualty of contemporary war mixed. This situation has won stable help on the pro-abortion section because of the fact it facilitates the irresponsibility of intercourse, it rather is a variety of beginning administration. as we communicate's society isn't everywhere close on seeing the outcomes on immoral habit, so we'd have leaders who reflect this theory. until people can start up residing their lives as a substitute of who we are, yet who we must be, we are able to proceed to stay in a subculture of death. many people say this may be a woman's situation, even yet it rather is greater effective than that, it rather is a human situation. in case you want peace, you need to artwork for justice. pope paul VI God Bless.

Answer 9

if the fetus wasn't alive before the 4 month period than you wouldn't be pregnant. A fetus is a life.

Answer 10

I'd like to know the scripture exactly. And, I'd also like to know who exactly defined a life becoming "valid" after the 4-month date. Never heard that before.

Seems it's a baby from day one if it's wanted. And, it's a fetus if it's not (it's easier to eliminate if you call it that, I suppose).

Answer 11

yes it would be killing what is the difference the very minute you concieve and being 4 months pregnant? The fetus (baby) started living the very second you concieved! Think about this!
