What? The children in the bus have already breathed.....so no, you wouldn't get off scott-free.
Fine, I'll go for the root of the matter.
Breath is never in scripture given as the beginning of life after the creation of Adam and Eve.
"You're" point is invalid. I am a point that won't stand?
Haha, I noticed that as well. Must be the dementia.
Please point out the scripture that claims that a fetus is alive from the moment of conception
Be prepared for a list:
Like 1:36
36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also
conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Luke 1:44
44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears,
the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
Isaiah 49:1
Listen to me, O coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord
called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
Isaiah 49:5
5 And now the Lord says,
he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
Galatians 1:15
15 But when he
who had set me apart before I was born,[a] and who called me by his grace,
Psalm 139:13-16
13
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15
My frame was not hidden from you,
when
I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw
my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
Romans 9:10-13
10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had
conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
11
though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Mathew 1:18
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ[a] took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed
to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:23
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
Genesis 25:22
22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[a] So she went to inquire of the Lord.
Just a start. I bolded the relevant portions. Hopefully you'll be able to figure it out, but if it is not explicit enough to understand the point of the verses let me know.
and that specifically abortion is murder.
I don't believe "abortion is murder", but rather that I have yet to see any justification for an abortion. Every argument I have seen is unjust, and thus a murderous reason for abortion. There is only one possible circumstance, where I'm not sure how to approach.
I think Juliana posted the most explicit, from Deuteronomy.
