Well the statics are out there for anyone to take the time, and read. The amount of this done, is in the many many millions at this point in time.
Just about all, abortions done today are done out of convenience . And little to non due to rape as some advocates of it try to say. All done because its easy to kill , rather then be an mature person and take care of who you helped to bring into the world .
Now if you have went through a abortion for one reason or another. I know that can be hard on people when they fully grasp the gravity of what has been done. So I don't mean to upset people. But I wanted to share some thoughts with the Thread started.
Women make mistakes due to the fact its "lawful" according to mans laws.
So people might ignorantly , think its okay to do. because its not illegal . That being one reason.
But the commandment is clear. Do no premeditated taking of life. So it is wrong. Everything from sleeping around to the choice to kill is all premeditated when it comes to abortion.
Killing of kids was done by Herod and a lot of people and God is against it. People would site other places where it might not seem the case, but without understanding the events surrounding God's choices. It becomes a mute point .
A attempt to kill Christ :
Matthew 2:16-18
King James Version (KJV)
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Even in the old testament people would worship idols . One belief at a time, was to sacrifice children in fire to Baal . Of Which God said He is against :
Jeremiah 19:5
King James Version (KJV)
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
Jeremiah 7:31
King James Version (KJV)
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
Jeremiah 32:35
King James Version (KJV)
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Exodus 1:22
King James Version (KJV)
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
In the case of modern abortion., its barbaric to say the least.
And for some one that think :"well, the the kid is not developed yet, so it really wasn't a person ".. I would ask what does that mean ? .
The following verses read that ; Mary a short time after she met with the angel Gabriel , went to her Cousin Elizabeth; who already was with John the baptist six months in her womb .
When Mary greeted her cousin. Just the baptist leaped for Joy, it says, in the womb of his mother Elizabeth, because, John could feel the presence of Christ, whom Mary had already received in her womb.
What does this show ? It shows that A person is very much there in the womb at six months. It also shows that life begins at conception also, seeing Mary just received Christ , yet John a six month old even knew that; when he leaped for Joy.
Luke 1:
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
