Sounds twisted but I think that if Christians are right then the unborn ftus has a soul,and if so is it better to be born unwanted to possibly bad parents into a life that may so twist your soul as to cause you to become the type of person who ends up in Hell,or is it better to die quickly without all the pointless suffering that seems to be all this world has to offer and ascend directly to Heaven without ever having to face this cesspool God created for us?

hmm....
OK, for the sake of argument I'll agree with your point.
Based on your assumption and assuming that you were still inside your mother's uterus when this assumption came true...is it OK for you to be killed?
I hypothetically agreed to your answer...quid pro quo please.

In some cases, yes. If the child was going to be born so horrible deformed that it would be unable to live a normal life and find any happiness, I think a God of mercy would understand a loving parent deciding to end the fetus's life before birth. I am pro-choice and a Christian. And my church believes that there are some reasons why abortion may be acceptable. These are rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. I would add that to have mercy on the child would be a valid reason, in my mind. But only in the extreme case as I have presented here.
And the cesspool you speak of is not of God's creation. If the world that he created has become a cesspool it is our fault, not His.

First, God created the world in a much better light than what MAN has turned it into. The cesspool we have now is due to our own growth and "progress". We rape this world every minute...not God.
Second, abortion is not a cure for unwanting parents...there is adoption....and even if that were cancelled out and the child is born to unwanting parents and lives a "bad" life, this is no guarantee that the child will grow into a "twisted soul" and end up in hell. Some ppl grow from the experiences they live...not all repeat the cycle of "bad".
*I am not against or for abortions...it's a case by case issue and it is personal between the parents and the unborn child and their faith...no one has the right or should have the right to promote or condemn anyone for their personal choice in that particular matter. It is them who will have to live with themselves and their conscious and sometimes that alone is hard enough, rather than having others aid in their "crusifiction".
Also, depending on denomination, some believe that until you are baptized, if you die prior, you are not welcome in heaven. so if an unborn child is killed, does that mean he/she is condemned to hell or pergatory seeing he/she was not baptized?
Some questions are based on personal beliefs...there is no right or wrong...there is no cut and dry....there's just constant opinion that changes from one person to another.

Abortion is hardly a gift a loving mother would give to her child.
About a year ago, there was a mother who drowned 3 of her children to give them to Jesus. The mother is definitely mentally ill.
As a mom, I want the best for my children, would protect my child, and would spare them grief. But I would not take their life. Only God has that right.
I had a cousin who was severely deformed in the face. Now he was born long before abortions were legal (he died many years ago in his 70s), but he was born with a huge birthmark on his face. The disfigurement eventually resulted in his blindness as it damaged his eyes. But this cousin was amazing. Even with the deformity, he owned his own successful business and had an amazing memory. He would visit my grandma's once a year and could recalll the amount of steps it would take to go to a neighbors house without assistance. If he would have been born to someone today, they might have decided to abort him, not realizing what a blessing he was to other people.
So, I'm sorry that you consider this world a cesspool, but I believe that God places even the most evil person or the most deformed person on this earth for a reason. Because the evil teaches us to appreciate the good, and the deformed teaches us to appreciate what we have.

Your name should actually be " Angel of truth"
You are very correct in saying that a true believer should actually take up abortions,
But stop and think for a moment.
God created and God only shall have the right to take life, Not Osama Ben Laden or GW Bush. Nor even an abortionist.
Its upto Gods mercy that you will live and deny his existance and still be fed and clothed and spread lies aginst God.
For God is the most merciful and heaven shall be yours after accountabilities,

Sounds twisted alright. It is better to be born into any environment than to be murdered in the womb. Who can say where anyone will wind up? And, suffering is not pointless. It is the refiners fire that makes steel strong and it is suffering and over coming that makes us strong. God created the world; people make cesspools out of their surroundings.

This world and life is what you make of it. Even for people that have bad parents and suffer a lot, I believe there is a reason they are here. You also do not mention the possibility of adoption. Abortion is a deeply personal choice and I do not believe there should be laws against it, but I just can't see it as a "gift".

No definitely not. Abortion is murder. Murder is a sin. Even if the child is born into that type of environment, God is still God and He can still make things right for that child. I have never heard of any true Christian that has not had to suffer first. I may be wrong but I don't think I am. Jesus said that this world would hate us because it first hated Him. And if we represent Him, then they would hate us to. May God Bless

I think it should only be done when absolutely necessary like the baby's or mother's life in danger. Other than that people that don't want babies should use birth control or something. I know that's not how it works though and people continue to have unwanted babies, but there are lots of people out there that would love to have a baby.

Depending on how far you take your religion. I'm sorry I don't follow it all very much, but if I recall, the soul is born impure and isn't free to depart to the heavens until it has been baptized. Still following your logic, why we don't do all the good Christians a favor and kill them now is beyond me (but don't take my word on it, I'm just following the very twisted logic)

no because you are born to share the news and have a relationship with God if a baby is aborted it has no purpose because God could not use it the baby was cold but because it did not have a chance to get hot it was sent to heaven now don't get me wrong cold is better than lukewar(which verse is that from about not being a lukewarm christian) but that baby needs a chance
