Why do Christians jump at the throat of women who choose abortion?

Answer 1

A fetus is a stage in the development of a human being. If left alone (without doing anything), he will automatically develop into a baby. If you do not kill a baby, he will develop into boy. If a boy is left alone and not killed, he will develop into a young man and then an old man. If you kill at any stage, you kill all previous stages.

Unlike a fetus, if you kill the sperm, then it will kill a potential baby too, but if you let the sperm be, it will die also. Same thing is true for the egg. It can not independently develop into a baby. The key to understand is that when one sperm and one egg get married, then and only then the baby is formed and the process will naturally lead to a baby if left alone.

If we make rules that if you kill a child when he is three months old, it is not murder, but at four months, it is murder... these would certainly be very arbitrary laws.

In many hospitals a "so called fetus" would be aborted on one floor and on another floor another of the same age, who is pre-born would be saved and called a premature child.

Those who think and are sensitive, realize that the fetus is a potential child. True it is not a child yet, just as a baby is a potential young man some day if allowed to simply live.

The choice ends before you decide to join the egg with sperm. There is choice until then. After that point, both parents have started the ball rolling which leads to a child and a man and perhaps the father of millions of children in due course.

If we play God, we do so at great peril to our own species.

I hope I am making sense.... and I am a Muslim, and I agree with my Christian and Jewish brethren who are opposed to abortions.

Answer 2

I am Christian and I do not jump at the throat of women that choose to murder their babies. My heart breaks for them as I know they have been misinformed by society that all they're doing "is getting rid of some cells and tissue." Jump down their throat? Why would I want to do that. I pray for them regularly. Especially the ones that show up at the alter on Sunday morning, tears streaming down their face, full of all kinds of junk because of the sorrow they feel over a decision they made to have an abortion 20 sometimes 30 years ago.
No, I pray for them, and love them.

Answer 3

I tend to think it is immoral to kill a child that is a viable lifeform. Abortion should not be used as birth control. Use a Condom or Birth Control pills to stop conception. Human pregnancy was rarely detected until the after the woman had missed a period or two a few years ago. Now a woman can determine if they are pregnant in preperiod hormone tests.

I think sex requires responsibility.. If you don't want kids do something about it. Use birth control or get fixed..

I am a reverent agnostic, I see it as a civil obligation, Why should I pay for someone else's brat?

Put it up for adoption. Many couples have difficulty getting pregnant and are willing to adopt children.

Answer 4

Christians first and foremost practice "forgiveness" and reconciliation. Not everyone who claims the label "Christian" is actually practicing it the way the Lord intends us too. However, some believe that all humans are corrupt by inheritance of corruption in the flesh, and can not come to the Lord except through personally accepting the "plan of salvation." Therefore if they are harvested for whatever purpose before personally accepting Christ, then they are condemned to hell without a chance. Therefore, this creates a sense of urgency in saving the unborn babies. Not all Christians believe this way, but pretty much all do believe that to kill a baby for economic or personal convenience is a true crime, and that a society that endorses such a crime against the "innocent" insult God and invite a terrible wrath.

Answer 5

Women who have had an abortion need love, compassion, and above all, forgiveness. They don't need anyone jumping down their throats. Most of them are busy jumping down their own throats, for being pushed into a decision they really weren't sure they wanted to make.
Abortion is murder. Nothing less. We know that. Ask any breeder of animals, say, horses, for instance. When his prize mare gets pregnant, he doesn't say "oh, my, she is carrying the products of conception", or "gee, I wonder that clump of cells in her tummy will look like?" No, he looks forward excitedly to the birth of the foal. In the same way, everyone knows that what the pregnant woman has inside of her is a baby. The terms "embryo" or "fetus" don't really depersonalize it for us the way we like to pretend, do they?
One of the most adamant pro-life fighters I know is an older lady whose mother told her repeatedly "If abortion had been legal when I got knocked up, you wouldn't be here!" Try to see abortion from her pov...

OH, she has a great idea on how to cut down on the number of unwanted pregnancies. For every abortion done with the full knowledge and consent of the father, she says, let there also be one castration. After all, guys, it's just a clump of cells.......

Answer 6

They are told that abortion is a sin even though it isn't mentioned in the Bible. They also forget that in Exodus 21:22-25, God does not see a developing fetus as being equal to a full-term human being.

One of the most common arguments about abortion comes from the Ten Commandments, where we are told "Thou Shalt Not Kill." But this begs the question of "kill what?" Does this commandment mean we cannot kill anything, even a fly? No. It means we should not kill another human being. Of course, the Fundamentalist believes a pre-born fetus is the same as a full-term human being. God, however, does not. In Exodus 21:22-25 we read that if a man accidentally kills a pregnant woman, that man should be condemned for committing murder. However, if he only kills the fetus - that is, if she miscarries - he is not condemned for murder. Clearly, then, God does not consider the pre-born fetus as being the same as a human being, in which case the Commandment of "Thou Shalt Not Kill (a human)" does not apply.

Answer 7

christians don't jump at the throat of women who choose abortion. it's just wrong to murder a baby with out giving it a chance for it to live. and God hates abortion.

Answer 8

NOt all christian JUMP at the thraot of these women.... its not our right to judge, only God can

Because God created this little baby, in his own image, and NO PERSON has the right to end the life of another, only God has the right to end life

if you don't want the baby don't have sex

after around 1 1/2 months (sometimes before the woman knows she is pregnant) the heart starts beating,
how do we check if someone is alive... we check for a pulse..... if this baby has a pulse is moving and can breath by the 2nd month... then how can you tell me that the baby isn't 'alive' when people end pregnancies inthe 4th and 5th month or later?????

Answer 9

I personally don't jump at their throats. I'm a Christian.

I feel great pitty for them. The woman who chooses abortion knows, unlike you, that for the rest of her life she will wonder what sort of child she murdered in the name of the great life she may or may not have attained without a little child at her side.

With technology not available in the late sixties (sonography) to most patients, we can now see a fully formed human at 8 weeks. Which is only 2 months of pregnancy.

Answer 10

I can't say that I jump at anyones throat. I do try to talk women out of if. I want them to reconsider and realize the choice they are making. Maybe if someone had done this for my mother she would not need to be under medication and counseling 30 years later.
