On Abortion

Anyone who supports abortion without reservation has lost their grip on reality and their eternal soul.
Why do we always define abortion as ending a pregnancy? Are we afraid to acknowledge the bigger picture that we are in reality ending a life?
I recently saw a post on Facebook from someone that read "women's bodies are not political battlefields". But politics is exactly that- a way to delineate what rights one person has against another. Does age matter? Does the unborn child have rights like other humans, or is he on animal terms?
If you live in a 3rd world country and your parents are aged will you leave them in the wilderness because no one can tell you what to do with your house? That is the same argument!
This is a deeply spiritual argument. You are not your body. Your body is a gift from God (or however you want to describe that concept). It is not your prerogative to use as you wish. Your free will is will to resist the right choice and be happy, or choose the wrong and in this case spend time behind bars. To believe otherwise is simply not the truth.
In what kind of upside-down worldview does the process of killing a fetus being safe have any bearing at all on whether it is right or wrong? That is merely an attempt to distract.
Bill Nye's video was a joke. Probably one of the least intelligent things I have ever heard from the lips of an "educated" human. He essentially claimed that he was going to derail the pro-life argument through science- and then only brought up one scientific fact in the rest of the video. A fact that was- the egg and sperm have to attach to the wall of the placenta to make a baby. That has NOTHING to do with the pro-life argument. If the egg and sperm don't make a baby in the first place, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, would we?! But some of them do, and some of those are murdered. That is the issue. Bill, you officially brought nothing to the conversation but your condescending intellect. Thank you for showing us the real you. I liked the "Science Guy" better.
It seems like the only way to have a popular argument nowadays is to insult the intelligence of the other side and say that they hold their opinions out of ignorance.
Mr. Nye should watch this video for a reality check from someone who seems to be much more up-to-speed with the "science" of abortion http://video.dailycaller.com/Pastor-Is-Asked-Is-Abortion-Murder-His-Response-Gave-Me-Chills-29536565
More civil rights vs. less murder of innocent humans- how is there even a question?
As a society we often have to deny people rights in order to protect other people! We have to give EVERYONE as many rights as possible, not just you! This is a basic principle of law. In a democratic society, you can't do whatever you want. You can do what the majority and their representatives think is fair for you to do, according to how it affects others. And at times you can't even do something that only affects you- For example, I don't have the right to do crystal meth- even though I would possibly be the only one affected (assuming I had no family or friend ties). So why should you be able to get an abortion, which is as destructive spiritually as hard drugs are mentally and physically?
A scripture in the Bible comes to mind, which I know many of you won't value but here it is-
"Will a mother forget her sucking child? Nay, she may forget, but I will not forget thee." I used to think that was an extreme example for God to use, thinking that it would never happen. I used to say "of course no woman with a conscience is going to forget her newborn baby, who depends so strongly on her that it literally becomes a parasitical relationship"- she knows that the baby needs her! Yet this is exactly what's happening with abortion.
People who have had abortions often think "now I have to turn around and support other people doing the same." If you say that you are also saying through deductive reasoning that you would get another abortion again if you were in the same situation. Therefore why should pro-life people accept you? If you hold this opinion you are NOT a victim of judgment by bigoted Christians and other pro-life people- you are an advocate of the slaughter of humans. By maintaining your support of abortion you are asking for our criticism, which we feel duty-bound to give!
Some who have abortions later recognize that it was regrettable and unfortunate and therefore you discourage others from having one to spare them the same pain- that is a completely different thing. It absolutely is very different for someone to continue supporting this evil practice!
One common viewpoint in my church is that abortions are only a valid option if the mother was impregnated through rape. If God were here I think that in the majority if cases He would promise these mothers that the baby will be a blessing to them, that they will receive strength, and to go through with the pregnancy and birth. As horrific as rape is there is a reason behind everything. Perhaps one good thing can come from something so horrible. God works in mysterious ways. One thing is for sure- nothing good will come out of an abortion.
Maybe God tests people to see how much you value the life He places inside of you and what kind of sacrifice you are willing to make.
It's not just about believing in God, however- it is about valuing human life.
Another exception is if the mother's life is at stake. To me that is the point where it becomes the woman's decision. I can understand getting an abortion in that scenario. However anything short of  life-threatening pregnancies should never be aborted. Ever.
I can see this issue going on for a while... but when our kids are learning history 100 years from now will they honor the pro-choice, or the pro-life? Which side do you think they will sympathize with? Something to think about.
I am glad we have a government to stop crazy ladies from killing their unborn children. That is what they should be doing. If women want to avoid these consequences, they can take steps to avoid pregnancy.
Those of us who value the lives of the unborn need to be more vocal and active in advocating for them in intelligent ways, but never compromise on the right of an unborn child to their life.
