Hebrews 8 :- v.13..a new Covenant has made the first one old. V. 7... For if that first Covenant had bee faultless there would have been no need for the Second.
The Lord realised that he had made a mistake with humans in the beginning, selected a true believer and wiped everybody-else out. Gone was Adam and Eve and all their descendants leaving Noah and his family, a new breed.
Man was raised above the animals, they were given a brain, not so they could argue but so that they could think for themselves.
When He had created Adam and Eve what did He tell them to do? Procreate.
When Noah and his Family went ashore, what did God tell them to do? Procreate. So there is absolutely no doubt as to what we have to do. But what did he give us a brain for?
Surely it was for us to think for ourselves? But remembering that one man's meat is another man's poison.
Saying all that, and I realise that the next sentence is going to send a participant into orbit, remember that Jesus said "let him without sin be the first to cast a stone" He didn't say that the woman would change her ways, that was her desicion. So it is with the abortion problem. The Pope says No but how many Catholics use "prevention"? Is abortion equal to prevention in religious terms? Religion teaches that thinking of having sex with a woman is the same as having sex and committing adultery. When we do we stop being hippocrits?
Pregnant women can smoke and drink with the blessing of the Church and the Law, every religion allows children to starve to death, so why don't we stop telling other people what to do with their lives but use our brains and work together to agree to a compromise solution?
To finally answer your question......Of course there is

Let me try to give you an actual answer to this question. While the Bible doesn't refer directly to abortion being a sin, you can infer, though, that abortion is wrong, by looking at scripture. When God gave Moses the 10 commandments, one of them was do not murder. God mentions many times in his word how he values and loves human life. I believe it is in Psalms where God says 'I knit you in your mother's womb'. When you take scripture in total, you will see that God makes no distinction between a human in the womb or out of the womb. He values all lives equally. So no, there isn't really any situation I can think of where abortion would be the right choice.

The only case where there is even a gray area in this regard is if the mother's life is in imminent danger, a case where either she will die or the child will die. In that instance, I believe that decision must be made by both involved parents (The mother, because it is her life that is in danger, and the father, because no matter the decision, he will have to live with it for the rest of his life).

I believe there are 2 situations where abortions should be permitted. 1) Rape victim 2) Life threatening Illness in mother or baby.

The intentional taking of an innocent life is always to be avoided.
There should be no laws about abortion in the US.

The only case would be where you had to choose between the child dying and both the child and the mother dying. Even in that case, I would say to deliver the baby if at all possible rather than kill it.

One -- only if the mother could not, even at the sacrifice of her own life, bring the child to the age of viability. Ectopic pregnancy, for example, is invariably fatal to mother and child both, unless the pregnancy is terminated. Better to save one life than lose both.
If it is a choice between mother's life and baby's life, the baby, not the mother, has moral priority.

I believe that the only times abortion is morally ok is the cases of rape, incest, or the mother's life is in danger.
However, I understand that not everyone shares my beliefs, and that is why I am pro-choice.

i think its ok in some cases. if the mother is in danger, if you were raped and lets be realistic here nobody wants to carry a baby inside them that a rapist gave them, incest, or if the baby is already dead of course.
