This is a joke right?
What else could it possibly be. Most of us have a difficult enough time just keeping our own lives straight.
It's pretty stupid to be judging others in this manner when we can't even get it right ourselves.
Lets see who was it that said something about a hypocrite having a beam in his eye worrying about a speck in someones Else's eye.
Maybe Jesus.

Yes.
Making judgements on actions/things/people/etc. as being good/bad is not a sin. Life requires us to sift evidence and make judgements all the time. IE "this potroast is green and stinks, it is bad, it is garbage" is a judgement. "This man hurls insults at me and slaps me at every opportunity, he is abusive" is also a judgement. "This research paper is well organized, easy to read, and factual; it is a good paper" is a judgement. "This child is always ready to help others, and has just brought me a flower, she is really sweet" is also a judgement.
The problem with the question of abortion is not with making a judgement. People who support abortion judge it acceptable all the time. The problem is that there are opposing moral values being used with this question. Those who say "you should not judge abortion as murder" are really pro-abortionists; they oppose any judgement other than their own, and create a double standard in the process (passing judgement on abortion is wrong, UNLESS I am the one doing it).

Yes. You can judge their actions as against God's will, it is, but you cannot condemn them. Alot of times, these poor women are misled to think that there is no other way for them. They are pressured by their friends, family, boyfriend into having the abortion. Women who have had abortions need understanding and help. Above all else, we must be a society that promotes loving both the mother and the unborn child. I concurr with the above statement though...the abortion provider, the doctor that took the hippocratic oath, IS a murderer.

Yes, that would be judging. There's two points here. First, I don't think judging to be a bad thing. It's good to judge. Of course, what's more important than whether someone judges is what the person bases their judgement on.
In this case, I don't agree with your judgement. I don't agree with your assessment that abortion is murder, because that would presume that a fetus is actually a separate human being from the mom. In fact, if you were to separate the fetus from the mom it wouldn't live at all. Therefore, it is not a viable human being.
Since we have this difference of opinion and the issue of when a fetus gains the rights of a viable human being, I guess we'll have to leave that choice up to the woman who's body is involved in growing this fetus, potentially, into a child.

No, it is not judging. God calls murder murder. However, you need to remember that God forgives the sins of every individual who repents and by faith asks for forgiveness and receives the gift of salvation offered in Jesus Christ.
While it is not judging to believe that those participating in abortions are participating in the murder of the unborn, it is easy to adopt a condeming spirit against those who do. We need to remember that we all sin, and hence all need the forgiving power of Jesus Christ.
While it is easy to be frustrated and angry with those who would participate in an abortion, we must also remember that these are unsaved people; to expect them not to act like unsaved people is unreasonable. They need much prayer and forbearance.

Absolutely. The Supreme Court ruled that abortion is not murder. So you are judging someone based on your relative morality. There is no evidence of an absolute morality in the universe. Thieves get rich, the innocent are slaughtered and the Evil goes unpunished in this world.....

Out of more than 600 laws of Moses, none comments on abortion. One Mosaic law about
miscarriage specifically contradicts the claim that the bible is antiabortion, clearly
stating that miscarriage does not involve the death of a human being. If a woman has a
miscarriage as the result of a fight, the man who caused it should be fined.
If the woman dies, however, the culprit must be killed:
"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.
"And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for
tooth . . ."--Ex. 21:22-25
The bible orders the death penalty for murder of a human being, but not for the expulsion
of a fetus.

No, it's not judging. According to the bible, God feels Strongly about abortion:
"If men fight, and hurt a woman with a child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, foot for foot, hand for hand, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe to stripe." Exodus 21: 22-25

NO it is not judging. God has always commanded us not to murder. It is His command. When we see others break his commands, we are not judging but merely being fruit inspectors. Judging is when you say someone thinks this or that. That is judging, but actions seen are fruit inspections

Abortion is murder. The person who had the abortion chose to kill their own baby.
