The Lord told Moses that a child under 1 month old was not worth money, like those over 1 month. Basically that a fetus or newborn has no worth.
Lev. 27:6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

Anytime we question whether a woman should'nt have a choice over what happens to her body, we're going to run into problems. I can't help but to take notice of the silence from pro-lifers about what to do with the fetuses they saved.

First of all, homosexuality is genetic; it happens in the animal world, a cat or dog does not get up from its bed and decide it favors its own sex rather than the opposite. No human would put themselves in that particular type of hate and ridicule from some many others, on a "just because I can" feeling, it doesn't work that way. Human nature wants to be accepted by its peers. I am a pro-choice person, my reasons for abortion had nothing to do with a genetic problem a fetus had or didn't have. I'm also pro on capital punishment. My Goddess isn't an egoistical jackass, who condemns her creations to any fiery destinations for acts against her. She understands her children and can love them no matter what. My beliefs are that mistakes and accidents happen in the natural world, it is how you handle them that gives you a reward in the next plane of existence or keeps you here to allow you to become a better person. And neither abortion nor homosexuality is wrong in the eyes of the Goddess. You cannot condemn a child if he suffers from pneumonia or the effects of that disease, this is no different than a child born with any other affliction; to do so is morally wrong. And Abortion is a choice in which a woman makes for the fetus she is carrying. When men start having babies; then and only then, should they be allowed to make that decision about their own body. No one should have dominion over your body, it is your choice to have or not have chemotherapy; in some cases it may or may not save your life, but it IS your decision; NOT your pastor, your husband, your parents, or any government official. NO one can make that decision for you and just like abortion, NO one can make that decsion for you, either.

In Leviticus 27:6 God is speaking to Moses about dedicating certain things to the Lord and to his service.
Unborn children and very young children could not be dedicated to God simply because they were too young and the price for that would have been too high to pay.
Genesis 16:11 And the angel of the Lord said,Behold thou art with CHILD,and shalt bear a son.
The Lord did not say "Thou art with fetus" He said "Child".
We're a child and we're human the instant we're conceived.
To terminate the life after conception is MURDER.
Deut.27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.And all the people shall say amen.
(Abortionists)
God is pro-LIFE while Satan is pro-DEATH.
Our Father in Heaven loves us and wants us to live and no amount of trying to justify murder can change that.
And nowhere in the bible does God say that a child under one month is not worth money.

the sin is in the motivation behind the abortion- we did not create the life we have no right to take it for the purposes of selfishness, pride, convenience, etc. Making a choice to continue in sin and brush off the consequences as if they were nothing so that we can keep on sinning and living our lives the way we choose rather than the way God has instructed is selfish and destructive. The emotional consequenses of abortion are not God's will for our lives.
A fetus or newborn may have no MONETARY value but God said He knew us in the womb, He knit us together and has a plan and purpose for us before we even come into the world- monetary value and personal value are two very different things. read all of the scriptures before attempting to poison people's minds with partial or twisted truths

not only bad it is abomination and disobedient to God.
Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. For it is only the Mighty Creator God and Lord Jesus must have the power over His creation. Either to cut it off or to let it live. So why not let that innocent fetus live and wait for God's decision not us to decide?
Rom 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Rom 9:12 It was said unto her(rebecca), The elder shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
We don't have the authority at all to kill or abort others for we are only the creature, and not the Creator God. Amen.

The Bible is talking about what it would cost for taxes on an animal. Males have to pay five shekels and the female has to pay three shekels for their animal. You misinterpreted the saying. And abortion is wrong, because it is murder! Life begins when the seed is fertilized and begins to grow!

Did you even read this in context? The verses around this are about a man dedicating his family and lands to God. Giving all he has to God. The person would then work for the Tabernacle. This sets what worth their work has. Basically what they will be paid. It is not an estimate of what their life is worth.

The concept is only God can give life, and take it away. Hence if you abort, you are acting God like, a blasphemer. The worth of a child based in months was due in their days to the survivability rate, or lack of it. Simple childhood illnesses that we treat with antibiotics were deadly back in biblical times. If a child survived longer, the child's worth was greater.

Some catholics think abortion is a tool of the devil.
We live in culture of death, destruction and the devil...as Bush was deceived by a lie, about weapons of mass destruction, the devil deceives the world with a variety of half-truths, and lies...
This is a classic example of a half-truth, a truth that lies.
1. Women's right over her body.
Well really its about a women's right over the body within her. Except for cases of rape, the women has engaged in behavior and not taken steps to prevent the conception; so justice should suggest she must take the lesser of all evils, and deliver the baby for adoption at least. ?
Killing a healthy unborn child, when there are alternatives, and especially if the women's life is not threatened is not a right (half-truth) it is murder ?
"Stop violence against women" is another classic half-truth, that ignores all other forms of abuse, and ignores totally men and children.
Is not abortion the greatest terminal form of violence against the men and women of tomorrow, today ?
Evil is governed by lies and half-truths, some are truths that lie, that we must learn....

Check out the book "Won by Love" by Norma McCorvey, aka as Jane Roe of the infamous Roe vs. Wade litigation. She was the plaintiff who later worked in the abortion industry. The book is a real eye opener, as well as her testimony and ministry. Her ministry is called Roe No More Ministry. Her book is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read.
