“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.” -- Psalms 139:13-16
“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.” -- Exodus 21:22, 23
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.
“Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.” -- Genesis 9:6
“No manslayer has everlasting life remaining in him.” -- 1 John 3:15
“You must not murder.” -- Exodus 20:13

I think its wrong. It's murder. It's a human being, not an animal!
But, i'll say one more thing also:
Theres a girl I know that had an aborition because she was a hoe and got pregnant and didnt want to face her responsibility. Yet, she's an animal rights freak and beat up someone over their conversation about putting down their kitten because it was dying of cancer. I find is retarded that most people who get abortions would rather kill their own kind rather than an animal. Ridiculous.

I believe a baby has as much right to life in this world as the mother who bears it.. Abortion is a pathetic solution to any females problems..It is proven that women have a very deep attachment to their babies and when a woman decides to abort she is commiting a very un natural act and as a result she suffers a great loss post abortion..

Neither.
I don't always agree with an abortion taking place - sometimes it seems downright careless and the woman could've given birth and put the child up to adoption. But I have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body - so I'm pro-choice. ESPECIALLY if her life is at stake or she was raped.
