I mean this as a serious question.

Yes, I know that Catholics and similar non-Protestants claim that even masturbation is murdering little babies, but I want scripture not dogma.

Did Jesus ever speak out against abortion? Safe sex (even between a married couple)? Wet dreams?

I know prudes freak out even having to talk about these common subjects, but there are plenty of other detailed sexual laws in the Torah. What do the actual writings say on these subjects.

Add: I do not want scripture on murder. I want scripture on calling birth control murder.

Add: "before we were in our mothers womb"
By that quote, changing your mind about choosing to conceive would also be a form of abortion.

Add: I have watched several videos of abortions being done. I am not squeamish about medical procedures. It bothers me as much as watching a gallbladder operation.

There is not one word in the Bible that supports the pro life argument that abortion is murder. When we look at the actions of Christ / God it is clear that he approves of ending pregnancy because at least 50% of the fertilized eggs produced are brought to an early demise. It is God that uses abortion more that anyone else.
And when God says "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." it must be remembered he said this and then aborted half of the fetuses he was speaking about.
In the parable of the talents God shows that saving is not always the answer. It is better to invest in the future than to blindly save. And abortion is using the mind to determine when a good investment in life can be advantageous to God's world. For example when a "fetus" that is unwanted is saved it leads to the death of 12 loved and wanted children. So saving a fetus kills 12 children. That is the point made in the parable of the talents. Doing what seemed right in the parable was actually going against God's will. The same is true with abortion. It may seem wrong to abort, but by God's example and by the parables it is proven to be the right thing to do.
The idiot below is wrong. By being pro life he is responsible for the murder of 12 loved and wanted children in a third world country. 12 kids will die for each "fetus" he saves because the resources to save the fetus could better be spent to save lives.

It is stated in Psalm 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."

So in God's eyes the person exists from as early as an embryo and therefore you can't have an abortion.

Its common sense! If you abort a fetus, you are preventing a child from living a life that he or she is entitled to. A fetus is killing a child because the fetus will become a child.
