One of the biggest arguments in the abortion debate is the issue of when does human life begin.
There is not a scientist in the world who would tell you that any living creature in the world can reproduce any offspring of a different species.
DNA is the most basic foundational building block of life in both animal & man. It is the most basic building block that makes every creature ONLY ABLE to reproduce it's own kind! It cannot reproduce any other species except it's own!
Even in the creation af a human baby, both the woman's egg, & the man's sperm, ONLY contain HUMAN DNA!
From the moment that the woman's egg is fertilized, that joined cell contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
Once the fertilized egg starts to grow, it still contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
That fertilized egg will ONLY DEVELOP INTO a human baby, because it contains ONLY HUMAN DNA!
Looking at these facts, let us see what Scripture says about reproduction:
Genesis 1:24 (New International Version)
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so.
Look at what I have underlined-".....each according to it's own kind."
When God created the world, He made it so that each creature, could only reproduce the same species! A cow could not reproduce a horse. A Pig could not reproduce a dog. Each creature that God created, could ONLY REPRODUCE IT'S OWN KIND-NOTHING ELSE!
It's the same way with humans-a human can only reproduce another human.
Regardless of what a baby looks like, when it is forming-it is still a human being!
It cannot be anything else!
When a human kills another human being-it is murder!
When a woman has an abortion-it is killing another human being, regardless of what stage of development the baby might might be in! Why is it murder-because the baby, even if it is unborn, has ONLY HUMAN DNA-NOTHING ELSE! It is STILL a human being!
An unborn baby is still a human being, because it CANNOT BE ANYTHING ELSE!
Abortion kills another human being.
Therefore abortion IS MURDER!
That's my opinion.

The fact that we live, means that we have a right to life. Throughout history, we have been battling those who say that we don't. Look at what the nazis did. Look at what communism has done. Try to walk down a dark alley wearing the wrong colored shirt and see how long you live. There are those who see their lives as more important than others. Those are the dangerous ones. The newest danger is the militant muslims. In so many words they say be like us or we will kill you. Then there is the sacrifice of the unborn. Their lives are sacrificed because they are inconvenient. (I have my career to think about. I have my life to think about.) People like to use the rape and incest issue to justify abortion. But that only accounts for about 1.5% of all pregnancys. Life also has responsibilities. And that is being responsible for our own actions. Although that isn't very popular today. I could give you all kinds of scripture on why we have a right to life. But I feel that this time I should just give secular reasons. Because secular people have a right to life too. Just as much as religeious people.

Life must be protected because we all want our own lives ... and if some lives are deemed meaningless where does that leave our own? I can think of two very apt cliches to add here, but I won't.
Plus God tells us not to kill. I don't think I need to mention a particular religion here, I think this is almost universal.

Life is sacred, and ALL life has the right to exist without interference do die naturally. Therefore, while I legally appreciate my right to choose abortion (for instance) I do not condone it morally. I also don't support the death penalty.
The exception for me is killing animals and plants out of necessity for food or clothing, and if you happen to kill someone out of self-defense or truly accidental death.

Life does not need to be protected. It never had the need and will never have the need. Humans aren´t anything but a collection of molecular structures, which only a very small part of life.

Life must be protected because God created it.

Respectfully, would you ask the same question if your life was the one needing protection?

Because every individual is one-of-a-kind. Once we destroy a life, we lose all their ideas skills and talent. They can never be reproduced.

Because it is precious, and a gift from God. Every breath you take is another gift from God.

Hint: (think religiously)
Generally the words "think" and "religiously" don't fit in the same sentence.
