Hello Hmmmmm...... :)
Oppose, it is murder and taking innocent lives..
Some say that they have a right to do what they want with their own bodies..yes, they do..
But they do not have the right, to take away that same right, that they themselves hold dear, from an innocent precious little child..
Some may also say that abortion is not murder, or that the child will not suffer nor feel any pain..but how do you really know if that child does not feel the pain..has anyone of us ever been able to ask..of course not..
Some say that a baby (fetus) is not alive..then please explain this from dictionary.com..
Main Entry: abor·tion
Pronunciation: &-'bor-sh&n
Function: noun
1 : the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus; especially : the medical procedure of inducing expulsion of a human fetus to terminate a pregnancy
This is not from any religious book..nor website..
How can a baby (fetus) die, if it is not alive.. :(
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

The majority of Christians oppose abortion. Personally, I don't see how a Christian can be pro-abortion. Psalm 139 states that God knows people before they were even formed in the womb, that He skillfully wrought them together. Psalm 22 also says "You have been my God since my mother's womb." So, the Bible clearly states that a fetus is still a person whom God has paid special attention to and knows.

No! God does not supprot abortion..he knited you in the womb..and the ten commandments says do not murder and also Psalm 139 13-16., says he knew you before you were born and that a life is begins at conception (sperm mets egg) so abortion is wrong ALL circumstances

Opposes it - In the Bible God detests the killing of the unborn. Nobody has the authority to kill the unborn regardless of the circumstance.
Now, I know every single person is going to jump on this bandwagon and I am ready to say that God gives us a choice so that we can live the way WE want to live - Remember God does not need us at all and I am sure if someone wants to remove the unborn from a womb you have that opportunity to do so - you also have the CHOICE to have sex with someone or not. So you have choices and you make those choices based upon who you are.
God does allow for killing because of what man decides to do. We kill to kill or we kill to protect or kill for sport or kill to remove a person from this earth or to alleviate pain or just because we make a choice.

Ture Christians oppose abortion. The world doesn't.
Abortion
Definition: Abortion is the expulsion of an embryo or a fetus that is not normally able to live outside the womb. Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage may result from human imperfection or from an accident. Deliberately induced abortion simply to avoid the birth of an unwanted child is the willful taking of human life.
How should the Source of human life affect our view of this matter?
Acts 17:28: “By him [God] we have life and move and exist.”
Ps. 36:9: “With you [Jehovah God] is the source of life.”
Rom. 14:12: “Each of us will render an account for himself to God.”
Does Jehovah view the life of a child as precious even during the very early stages of development after conception?
Ps. 139:13-16: “You [Jehovah] kept me screened off in the belly of my mother. . . . Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing.”
Has God ever stated that a person would be called to account for injury to an unborn child?
Ex. 21:22, 23: “In case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him without fail according to what the owner of the woman may lay upon him; and he must give it through the justices. But if a fatal accident should occur, then you must give soul for soul.” (Some translations make it appear that in this law to Israel the crucial matter was what happened to the mother, not to the fetus. The original Hebrew text, however, refers to a fatal accident to either mother or child.)
How serious is the willful taking of a human life for a reason not authorized by God?
Gen. 9:6: “Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.”
1Â John 3:15: “No manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.”
Ex. 20:13: “You must not murder.”
Does a doctor’s opinion that allowing a pregnancy to go full term would be harmful to the health of the mother justify an abortion?
Medical opinions are sometimes wrong. Would it be right to kill a fellow human because that one might harm his fellowman? If at the time of childbirth a choice must be made between the life of the mother and that of the child, it is up to the individuals concerned to make that choice. However, advances in medical procedures in many lands have made this situation very rare.

I find it hard to believe that a christian would oppose all abortions! What if a 11 year old girl was raped by her father! should she have to have that kid because others say so! abortion was created for a reason, it is being abused but that happens with anything and everything. There is always cases where abortion should be allowed.

The bible clearly opposes abortion, it is murder. Unfortunatley, there are many alleged Christians who listen to liars in the pulpit who twist scripture to suit thier hedonistic beliefs.

OPPOSE! It is murder. And what is one of the Lord's Commandments? Thou shalt not kill!
Abortion is horrible. I am so surprised people do not see what it really is....

The Catholic Church maintains that abortion is never appropriate. Never.
