God condemns abortions.
Most abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks of life. By this stage the tiny fetus practices breathing and swallowing, and its heart is beating. It can curl its tiny toes, make a fist, turn flips in its watery world - and feel pain.
If at the time of childbirth a choice must be made between the life of the mother and that of the child, it is up to the individuals concerned to make that choice.
“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
"Look! Sons are an inheritance from Jehovah;
The fruitage of the belly is a reward." -- Psalm 127:3
“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

Abortion is wrong because it is the same with murdering the fetus which is created by God in the womb of a woman..The sinner is a murderer who will go to hell.

Babies are born into sin. They have a sin nature. it is a sin to kill babies because they are human with a soul. Not only is this now proven scientifically that a fetus is a living being, but it was known Biblically for centuries even before Christ.

um......I'm speechless.
It is bad because it is a life that you are killing.
How about thou shall not kill.
Treat thy neighbor as thy self.
As for a fetus being non baptized sinners. They are innocent. There is no Sin in them. It is when you are old enough to make a conscious decision to accept God as your savior that you shed that innocence.

Abortion is wrong because you are ending a human life. It is the same as murder. God tells us he knew us before we were ever in the womb.
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

It's murder.......... You can't dodge your own guilt by pointing our some one elses. Besides, babies are born with the sin nature, doesn't mean that they have sinned. Just means that they will soon enough and will be in need of a saviour.

I think you get to go to heaven by default if you die and are 7 or less.
At least that's what they taught in catholic school.
[or maybe it was Sunday school]
So, God is off the hook on that one.
