Is abortion justified in the eyes of God because it "occurs naturally"?

Question

Some say that "God uses abortion..." perhaps referring to a naturally occurring process of eggs being "aborted" during the process of a woman becoming pregnant or to abortions that occur naturally because of complications, etc that are not induced by man. But if you apply such an argument to abortion, must you not apply it to murder then as well? For consider that God allows people to die every day by way of natural events in life (not man-induced), as well as even commanded many to go to war and kill people under the Old Covenant. Does this then justify murder (or does it make God a hypocrite since He commands us not to murder but allows such deaths to occur)? I believe that we ought not be afraid of death, for it ultimately brings us closer to God, but who are we to stand in the place of God by determining who lives and who dies?

Small But Fierce: I don't think you read my whole question. We are on the same side of the argument! So why are you ripping on me?? :)

Answer 1

I agree with you that Abortion is murder.

We should not elevate ourselves to the status of God by deciding who should live and die. What's even more puzzling is that we're killing a person whom we don't know. They haven't developed, committed harm, and they're the most innocent (next to Baptized infant).

A friend from another country was explaining women to me in his country. He said, "You'd never see a man hit a pregnant woman, and if you did, every one would beat him up severely; for woman is the vessel of life". Many movies have had this image of pregnant women being beat to justify abortion ... better to kill than to force a violent man to hit her when she's pregno. Two social taboo's to scare the soul out of us ... guess it's working!!!

Answer 2

I don't think we can compare natural abortion - ie when a woman miscarries involuntarily - with an abortion which is caused by human intervention. The latter is murder, and murder is never justified. I know that people have sometimes murdered then told the court that God told them to do it, but they usually end up getting locked away in a mental institution. God does not urge anyone to murder.

Answer 3

Your argument fails. God uses abortion, and he is clear that abortion is not a sin in the Bible. Abortion is not a naturally occuring process, it is God sanctioned and practiced by God. It is clear that abortion is not murder, because God does not murder. By definition, your next question is incorrect because God is opposed to murder and commands us not to murder. If however, God came to earth and demonstrated a method of killing and did not call it killing it would not be murder. Because God does not murder. It is our duty to abort according to the rules in the Bible that are demonstrated by God. When we pray to God about abortion and he says to abort, then there is no death. If we kill by a means that God says is killing then it is murder.
For example when God calls for armys to kill, it is not murder, it is doing Gods will. If however, there is an unjust war, then the armys that kill will be comitting murder.
This is all very simple. Those who refuse to accept the fact that God aborts and that God instructs others to abort are simply being untruthful to their faith. I believe that the pro life movement gets a thrill out of harming women and calling people murderer. I believe that such actions are sins. I hope you will repent.

Listen very well...soul (spirit) which is the real man is eternal. It inhabits a new born baby when it is born & not in the womb. And that is why when a baby is born, it must cry out. If it does not cry, it is a problem, they do all sort of things to make it cry. abortion is not too bad & its not too good to carry out. But if you decided to remove an unwanted foetus, you can do that but you take the decision yourself & for yourself, & not for another person. Every man has to decide for him or herself. This things have to do with life that's why we must be very careful, & not that you have sinned against God. Just know that every action we take in life goes with responsibility. God didn't say you should go about doing abortion but if circumstances forced u do it, it is not a sin.

Answer 5

God decides which embryo gets implanted in the uterine wall and which are discarded. God decides who lives and who dies. It's all very arbritary and not logical. There is no such thing as murder. If God didn't want a doctor to perform an abortion, He would stop it. If God didn't want crazy men to kidnap, rape, kill and dismember little girls, He would stop them.

Answer 6

I suffered a miscarriage on the age of 18, whilst i become just about 6 months into my being pregnant, properly previous the factor the place the fetus become basically a "clump of cells." i become made to undergo exertions and transport, alongside with being compelled via nearby and state regulations to call her, and supply a burial. My surgeon - a Muslim female (i'm no longer Muslim)- later went directly to become an OB/Gyn in Saudi Arabia. i'm going to on no account ignore what she instructed me as I spent each week hospitalized on the same time as they tried to save my being pregnant. She pronounced that i ought to pass up and down Liberty highway (the place the wellness center become placed) and knock on each door. i could discover that approximately 25% of the households had experienced a minimum of one miscarriage. it quite is a astonishing huge type. She additionally instructed me, in an attempt to make me sense greater desirable, that Allah (God) and nature had a fashion of removing the undesirables, and there ought to have been something incorrect with my toddler for me to lose her. What a crock! My daughter become eye-catching in each way, completely shaped. to respond to your question, specific, statistically, this could make God quite the prolific abortionist. i'm specific a lot of human beings have tried to describe this as my surgeon had, via saying that is all approximately survival of the fittest. yet whilst it quite is actual, then why does God inflict unfavourable disabilities and disfigurement on some on the same time as aborting others?

Answer 7

Sounds good to me. See the hypocrisy of believing in god? Couldn't have said it better myself.

LOL

Anyway, the point is that god obviously doesn't concern himself with every tiny little baby soul in the whol world, he allows many many babies to not come to term. So that underpinning of that argument against abortion doesn't stand up.

As for deciding who to kill, didn't god give out 613 laws over 60 of which call for the death penalty?

Num 25:6-8 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses...Pinehas... went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
25:10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying Phinehas... hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel

So god was clearly ecstatic that this man made a decision on who to kill.

Answer 8

There's a HUGE difference between miscarriage and abortion, and the former does not justify the latter.

Answer 9

Having a miscarriage is not the same as purposely murdering a unborn child. The key word is "pre-meditated".

Answer 10

You should seriously consider a course in basic logic... there is a difference between the natural course of life/death and ripping an unborn, healthy child out of the womb and killing it.
