In a previous question the majority(overwhelmingly) says abortion is murder. So is it participation in it if we as Christians are silent or complacent? Do we not bear some of the guilt if we do nothing and the blood of 50 million innocents is on our hands also?

And furthermore ....just because it is legal does that make it right?

I don't think the blood is on our hands. I think we just have to pray for change. We have to pray for the souls of the lawmakers and the doctors and the victims!
If you feel you should be doing more, contact your local Right-to-Life chapter and join in the rallies they have. They are great, peaceful, silent protest.
I think the worst thing we as Christians can do, is to be violent or belligerent with our protests. We have to make it known to our lawmakers that the murder of million of innocent babies every year, is UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I have been going to silent rallies for 13 years. I dont know how else to make our 'voice heard'. But I do get a sense of relief knowing that I am making a stand!
Lastly, I am a truama nurse. I have refused to ever administer the morning after pill or to be involved with a voluntary abortion! It is murder!
IT IS MURDER!!! They heart begins to beat within days of conception. To say that it is not murder up to a certain point is CRAP!!! Do you know that a babies heart and lungs and skull are still forming when they are born, full term....40 weeks....so does that mean that they are not a 'person'???
Wake up! It is murder!

Not only is abortion murder, it does a lot of damage to the woman. She often times ends up with infection, scarring of the cervix and perforated uterus. Now they are finding that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Not to mention the depression a woman faces after the abortion, with usually no help from the medical profession. It is the beginning of a nightmare for many women. As far as what I can do as a Christian is to try and influence those in my world. I refuse to picket an abortion clinic, it is not my thing.

I believe abortion is murder. I don't think Christians should be silent about it. People know what they need to do if they don't want to have children. Either don't have sex or get on birth control (Yes, I am aware that birth control isn't 100% guaranteed, but in those cases, have the child and let it be adopted into a family that wants it). Too many people out there want children and can't have them. Yet so many women go and kill their babies... What did the baby ever do to you?

I believe that all of those 50 million babies we can't save and I do believe it's murder but we just have to pray it will stop. You can only help who want help not the ones whp already have they're mind made up. I just hope people have a desire to stop having abortions. I pray on it all the time.

perhaps, technically, government regulation of gay marriages and abortions is outside the bounds of what our government is supposed to do, or what democracy should be, eccetera. But for all Christians, if we beleive abortion is murder, that is instantly more important than whether we misuse government. Stretching the government to do more than it should isn't sin, we just prefer not to do it. letting fetuses get murdered, if there is a nonsinful way to prevent it, is wrong by omission. poeple often don't get that. people say, is it really your business if they kill their own baby, don't your rights end where another's begins? I don't care. that's american philosophy. God's philosophy is 1000000times more important.

If you want to go raving in the streets about a holocaust that never happened suit yourself. What about the sperm and eggs that never get together? Isn't that unrequited love a sin? When a woman dies in an auto accident, should the surgeons harvest her eggs, fertilize them and bring them up as test tube babies?
Motherhood is more than an institution--it is a powerful instinct. I say it stinks to imply that some women care any less than you do.

I don't think God's judgments and laws are based on a majority vote. The book of Job says that to be taken from your mothers womb to the grave is to be as if you never were. God's word, not mine. Does that mean abortion is a good thing? No. But it does tell us God's thoughts on the subject apart from majority vote.

To not be silent, or in other words, voice your word, vote for a pro life candidate.
Support adoption services and single mother shelters. You're right its murder and one of the biggest crimes ever done by man!

Abortion is murder regardless of the stage. Unfortunately it is not against the law. It is against the law if you interfere. The only way to defeat abortion is to raise your children to think right and vote. The way the law looks at abortion is that it is a legal right, it matters not how wrong it is.

Unfortunately, the liberal feminists got abortion legalized in the 70's, so unless God steps in or we get it over ruled by the Supreme Court, the only thing we can do is protest it. We know its murder, but legally, we can't stop it.
