Matthew 24:37-39
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as the days that were before the flood they were eating, and marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. 39 and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Jesus did not have a wife, or a girlfriend. Jesus was without sin.

Ok, it is a child, we agree. What if the mother delivered the baby and cared for it for a couple of weeks and decided because of mental reasons to murder the child. Would this be ok? Remember, it's a child...there should be no difference in the outlook of the child in the womb and out of the womb. It's a child.

First, according to Psalm 51:5, a baby is sinful at conception. So, implying that the baby is innocent is misleading. Second, I agree the child should have had a chance to live but this is one of the unfair things in life, just like the mother being raped. I would not consider the mother (who may be as young as 12 or 13 years old) evil if she aborts due to rape/incest. Calling this type of distraight girl a murderer makes a mockery of the word murder, which includes malice. I maintain my views that the girl should be given an option in these instances.
Placed unfairly on women? "My body, my right". The biggest argument supporting abortion is Women declaring it is Their choice because it is Their body.
Notice that's Women that say that.
I used to believe abortion was ok in certain circumstances but what makes one babies life valuable, and the others disposable? The method of conception determines whether it's acceptable to kill a baby? Either murder is right or wrong.
If a man breaks into someone's house and kills a random person, and another walks in on his wife cheating and kills her, which life holds more value? Which murder is justified? Which one deserves to be ended and discarded? According to your logic the cheating woman was ok to kill because the circumstances reduce the value of the person.

I do think on a basic level abortion is murder. But, I think Christians in general place too much emphasis compared to other forms of murder. In this day and age, starvation is murder, poverty is murder, homelessness is murder. If as Christians we are concerned with abortion then we need to support social programs by our governments. The Lord has made enough for everyone. So for every abortion, I blame the governments who allow poverty, hunger, inequality to persist. Making abortion illegal does nothing to solve the problem. Murder by reason of insanity is usually the case. So the way to solve it is by eliminating poverty and inequality. Once these greater sins are removed, that will be the time for us to make these sins punishable.

Not so. Government is the best instrument we have to promote general welfare. When people have there basic needs met, you will see all manner of crime, disease and sin decrease. Government is the only means by which we are given to alleviate physical suffering on the levels of all society. I believe the Lord God would like us to use all instruments at our disposal to help our fellow humans avoid temptation and do righteous. When government has the capability to create general welfare, that should be utilized to the fullest. Again, this will reduce all forms of crime and sin. If the Church has the ability to feed the world, then by all means it should. But, it does not. The government, in many cases, does and we should allow it to do so.
