1, Exodus 21:22-25
22If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 24Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
2. Abortion is clearly a negative because the positive would always be for the child to live a good life, adoption, welfare, etc. are always better alternatives that the child might become great or even sacrifice their life for others.
The problem is that too many women are ostracized for being pregnant outside of wedlock, thus they would rather choose abortion even over adoption, even if they were well compensated.

Good points there are no passages in the bible saying that abortion is wrong with is not surprising in the there was no abortion in those days, period. The passages that are use to make it look like it says that is that " I knew you ever in the womb" and You should not Kill. I find it fun that the people that use this argument for abortion also support the death penalty.
As for the second point every religious group feels that they have to only answers, that is why the book of St. Thomas Jesus half brother was not include in that bible is stated that Jesus say you are the only one that can find god and the no Church or other man can lead you to him. This is not what you want to hear if you are making your living saving the souls for the fallen.

Is Mariah still of aborting age, or is the 97th trimester too late?
There are no passages in the Bible concerning abortion, period. Heck, stoning babies and murdering children and marrying women off to their rapists were fair game, yet we still smother women with this idea that they cannot make a choice about their bodies or God will 'smite' them. Bleah. This cannot be argued against intelligently with one religious stance, of course, but it seems people all around the spiritual and religious board have something to say when it comes to abortion.
There is no such thing as "pro-abortion". I do not run around carrying signs to pregnant women at their OB-GYNs' reading "Get it aborted! Lemme watch! Why have a kid when you can abort him??" I would prefer not to ever have an abortion but I certainly wouldn't question a woman's right to it. And no, I don't mean the third trimester (even the second bothers me intensely) unless there is danger to the mother.
People who think that abortion is murder are too often the same people who talk about why "spanking" (a relative word for abuse, seeing as hitting is abusive, as is threatening physical force) is such a brilliant tool to use with kids, especially those under 2 years of age. I know I might offend a number of people with this statement, but I have seen it to be true.

What you say is true but it is still going on and just like racism it will be here until Jesus return.....
Can you stop the world? What did God say about the tare in the Bible read the parable. Let them grow up together.
Like you said one religious stance...it is not about abortion it is the sin that cause abortion....pregnancy is a manifestation of sexual sin. If done without anothers consent even in marriage. So in that case it applies to male gender as well.

Abortion is a personal moral issue.
Democratic governments should not tell women what to do with their bodies.
Christians believe that having an abortion is a grave sin but only God can judge women who have abortion.

We can argue these things till we're blue in the face, those against free will and choice will scream that women who have abortions are murders, and those of us for choice will yell that it's a personal right.
I'm for the right to choose, I don't care what scripture says in any religion. It's all down to quality of life these days, would you really want a woman to keep a baby she doesn't want (whatever her reasons may be), while there's a chance she'll be a good mother, there's also one that the child will suffer due to resentment or such. It's not nice, but it does happen.
So, shall we just all agree to disagree?

The bible was created by a bunch of unitellegent people that didnt know anything. We've proven that much of the bible is false and could not have happened, but the ignorant people back then believed everything they were told.
There were a lot of really stupid laws back then. People should be able to choose what is right for them.

1.Some verses that show God knows us in the womb:
Jeremiah 1:4,5
Psalm139: 13-16
Exodus 21:22-23 shows someone would be guilty of murder if the fetus died when a pregnant woman was hurt
2. It can only be argued if the woman accepts what the Bible says or God's authority on the matter.

Did you know that when a person has to take the life of a baby to save the life of the mother that this is abortion, even though it is not called that. You should have been around in the old days.

Titus 3;a million-proceed reminding them to be subjection and be obedient to government and government as rulers Rom 13;a million-and a dozen greater To fellow poster Daniel--he obeyed till it went against God's regulation of worship--and basically than. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego -obeyed all till they have been asked to worship yet another guy or woman or God. Daniel is stuffed with them obeying the regulations of the land-they simply exception is of worship to a diverse. yet Peter and John and the different Apostles all obeyed the regulations--different than while he is going against God--NO different reason. otherwise they have been to stay with the regulations-fairly they enjoyed them or no longer!!!!! choose no longer or you be choose--that replaced into of the heart--no longer earthly issues. God accredited judging of earthly issues--all in the process the bible. Paul even pronounced as out Peter in front of the congregation for a incorrect doing. incorrect is misguided and replaced into in many situations pronounced as out (to long to place in writing all the examples). How could one turn removed from incorrect if no longer advised? you may quote the Bible all they %--"Hungn" yet except you employ the entire e book in unity you're incorrect! Even devil used areas to temp or misinform. and you in basic terms did a similar. In answer to the question. sure they are going against it. i do no longer help this-it truly is misguided. and that i'm allowed to call out incorrect (till God transformations the equipment). he would be their very final choose interior the top. there will be no justification for a incorrect if one knew greater suitable. greater suitable wish they do no longer try. yet different issues could be taken into consideration (being undesirable isn't a reason). I even have met some from Mexico-who have not are available in illegally--they are conscious of it truly is misguided and have accompanied their values. i'm constructive it truly is eye-catching to God. fairly everyone likes it or no longer--it does not substitute what's written. The e book replaced into to be taken as an entire-no longer %. areas. Many sin--even incredibly stable human beings. If one keeps in it-understanding it to be incorrect-they are going to answer for it. I do have faith many that come are intense-high quality human beings yet your question replaced into no longer approximately that. i'm hoping I replied yours. And expelled some untruths or twisting of the e book.
