Psalms 127;3 reads; Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah; the fruitage of the belly is a reward. .......So i would like to know how some people accept abortion even though it is a reward from God. How could you trample on such a beautiful gift from your creator?

very good point. when someone becomes pregnant, they now have a new life within them. When aborting, you are actually killing the baby. I wish more people would understand that. The previous answers make me sad. God said in Exodus 20, "You shall not kill." When aborting, YOU ARE KILLING. Sorry if I offended anyone, but this is what the Bible, and God, says.

The pre-Christian Jewish religion condemned infanticide:
“If men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life.”—Exodus 21:22, 23, American Standard Version.
Similarly, following the death of Jesus Christ’s apostles in the first century, many men expounded on their teachings. These writers were not inspired as the Bible writers were, but their comments are of interest, for they reflect the religious thinking of their time on this crucial issue. Here are some excerpts.
The Letter of Barnabas, chapter 19:5 (c.100-132 C.E.)
“Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born.”
The Didache, or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (c.150 C.E.)
“This is the Way of Life: . . . You shall not kill the child in the womb or murder a new-born infant.”
Tertullian: Apology, chapter 9:8 (c.197 C.E.)
“But with us murder is forbidden once and for all. We are not permitted to destroy even the foetus in the womb, as long as blood is still being drawn to form a human being. To prevent the birth of a child is anticipated murder. It makes no difference whether one destroys a life already born or interferes with its coming to birth. One who will be a man is already one.”
Basil: Letter to Amphilochius (347 C.E.)
“She who has deliberately destroyed a foetus has to pay the penalty of murder. And any hair-splitting distinction as to whether the foetus was formed or unformed is inadmissible to us.”

he owns the cattle on 1000 hills
everything we have is just a 100 year lease. We will pay for scratches, excess mileage, and other problems.
It is all his.

If I get pregnant, it's my fetus and I'll do what I want with it. Don't give me any of that biblical crap, not everyone on here is Christian.
