abortion: thou shall not kill
same sex marriages: homosexually is an abomination onto God
pre marital sex: all fornicators will not see the kingdom of God; Jesus told the woman at the well, "go and sin no more "
adultery: according to the old testament you could be stone to death for this.

• Pre-marital sex:
1 Corinthians 7:1-2
Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:8-9
Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
• Abortion:
Psalm 127:3 -- Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.
Deuteronomy 30:19 -- This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now CHOOSE LIFE, so that you and your children may live.
Isaiah 44:24 -- Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the One who formed you from the womb, ‘I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, and spreading out the earth all alone . . .'
• Homosexuality
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 -- 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Leviticus 18:22 -- Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Romans 1:24-27 -- 24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

NOWHERE! but NOWHERE!!!
In fact, God the Holy Ghost had sex with the Blessed VIrgin Mary when she was barely a teenager and she was married to Saint Joseph and Sant Joseph didn't know anything about it until she was 6 month pregnant. When he found out about it the Blessed Virgin Mary told him that she was going to be the mother of God. Fortunately, Saint Jopseph had a dream that night confirming what she said. From that day on Saint Joseph became the Saint Protector of all the believing Christians in the World!

It says not to fornicate. The abortion question could go either way depending on which scriptures you quote. And the Bible says nothing about committed same sex relationships.
For example about the abortion question, look at this:

Note to Christians below me: Mosiac law doesn't count anymore. Anyway, it seems silly quoting from the same book in which shellfish and wearing clothes of different fibers is "an abomination" too.

Genesis 2
"You shall not commit adultery" Exodus 20
In Psalms 139 talks about life being given from God (in the mother's womb) therefore there was life before birth
Genesis 1:27 (same-sex marriages)
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural. Homosexual anal intercourse carries a high risk of disease, this is recognized in Scripture where gay men are said to receive in their bodies the due penalty for their error
(Check out Romans 1:27)

1. You shall have no other gods before Me. (Have you always loved God above all else?)
2. You shall not make yourself an idol. (Have you made a god in your mind that you're more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?)
3. You shall not take God's name in vain. (Have you ever used God's holy Name as a cuss word?)
4. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and mother.
6. You shall not murder. (God considers hatred to be as murder).
7. You shall not commit adultery. ("Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" � Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage).
8. You shall not steal. (Have you ever stolen anything? � the value of the item is irrelevant).
9. You shall not lie. (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions).
10. You shall not covet. (Have you ever jealously desired what belongs to others?)

1 Thessalonians 4:2-8
For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this manner no one should cheat his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
["Acquire a wife in a way that is holy and honorable" or you are in sexual immorality. Sexual sin harms others besides those who engage in it. In adultery, the spouse is always wronged. Premarital sex "cheats" the future partner by robbing him or her of the virginity that ought to be brought to marriage.]

As Christians, we are to live our lives as examples to others by following the pattern that Jesus left for us. The Bible tells that Jesus lived a life without sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth (1 Peter 2:21-22). Even though he was the Son of God, he was also the Son of Man and subject to every temptation that we are. Jesus overcame the temptations and showed that we could overcome as well. The problem with us is that there are many things that can take our attention away from God and draw us away by offering temporal pleasures, but with possibly lifelasting consequences. Satan uses only three tactics against us, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (1 John 2:15-16), and we fall for them everytime. Now to answer your questions, where in the Bible does God say, not to have pre-martial sex, abortions, and same sex marriages?
Let's start with Pre-Marital Sex, which is, obviously from its very wording, sexual activity before one is legally wed. Marriage has been instituted by God from the beginning. When he created Woman for Adam, it is stated, "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:23-24)."
Marriage is a sacred and holy union between a man and a woman. This is kind of getting into the other subject, same sex marriages, but I will elaborate on that later. Sex was created for marriage as a way of expressing love and commitment between a man and a woman in a language without words. Pre-Marital Sex not only cheapens the relationship because there is no real commitment, it's a violation of God's law. The Bibles tells us to "Flee fornication," which pre-marital sex is also know as, "Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body (1 Corinthians 6:18)."
How does one sin against his own body via fornication? When one has sex outside of marriage, one opens oneself to great deal of negative elements: STDs, unplanned pregnancies, soiled reputations, and such like. God doesn't want that. God doesn't like that. Paul preached to the Corinthians, "I wrote unto you in an epistle (letter) not to company with fornicators: yet not the fornicators of this world, or the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat (1 Corinthians 5:9-11)." When one obeys the gospel of Christ and becomes a Christian, such things are not to be even named regarding him/her (Ephesians 5:3).
God takes marriage seriously and when one makes marital vows, one is making a promise not only to his prospective spouse, but to God, as well. "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge (Hebrews 13:4)."
As far as same sex marriages, it was already disclosed that marriage is between a man and a woman. If God wanted Adam to have another man as his help meet, he would have created one. This goes against God's natural order and God's commandment to Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply (Gensis 1:27-28)." Two men cannot reproduce, nor can two women. The Old Testament law declared that if one was caught in this type of relationship, both parties were to be stoned to death (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13). God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of this type of sin (Genesis 19). The New Testament tells us that because men have denounced God and turned to other things that, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompences of their error which was meet (Romans 1:26-27)." I could go further, but I think that this is enough. Homosexuality is a sin! Nuff said.
As far as abortion is concerned, "Thou shall not kill (Exodus 20:13) pretty much covers it. Many will reason, what if the woman was raped and became pregnant? Answer: Give the baby up for adoption if you wish to be so callous. Who gave you the right to play God??
I hope that my answer has enlightened and not offended anyone, but if it has, it's the word of God, and we are all going to one day have to stand before God and give account for everything that we've done in this body, whether it be good or evil (Romans 14:12; 2 Corinthians 5:10)

Homosexuality
In Levitucus 20:13
If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
Abortion
In the following verses, you see that the Bible clearly says that life begins at conception, and that life is created by God. To kill it would be murder.
Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God (Psalm 22:9-10).
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:13-16).
This is what the LORD says---he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you...(Isaiah 44:2).
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:4-5).
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy" (Luke 1:41-42, 44).
Pre-marital sex
1 Corinthians 7:1-2
Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
[Notice that to avoid sexual immorality outside of marriage people should marry.]
1 Corinthians 7:8-9
Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
[If you are struggling with wanting to have sex, get married. Premarital sex isn't an option for dealing with lust. It's either marriage or you are in sexual sin.
Exodus 22:16-17
If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife. If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgins.
[If premarital sex occurs, then an Israelite male was to marry the woman he slept with - that is, assuming the father allowed the marriage.]
Deuteronomy 22:13-21
If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, and the elders shall take the man and punish him. They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
[Premarital sex is viewed as a "disgraceful thing" and "evil."]
** Likewise, any verse about sexual immorality includes pre-marital sex.
