So in the end, it's not about the difficult 3% or whatever of cases. It's about defending any abortions, just because the mother doesnt want a child at a given point for whatever reason. Man can always go and find explanation or justification for himself, so I'm sure everybody can find their reasons. But do these reasons stand before God?
While I dont believe anyone can or should be legislatively forced in this regard, I believe what the Bible teaches on this and that we should tell others the truth from the Bible, not list our reasons to do this or that.
Why are you opposed to late term abortion? I'd appreciate if you'd answer this question.

Because third trimester babies are able to sustain themselves outside the womb. And an organization like what was in existence at one time, "Golden Cradle" , can find a safe home for that little newborn treasure.
And the mother can be delivered from having any and all responsibility after because giving birth is less traumatic to the womb than is late term abortion.
As has been discussed it is not really possible to tell the truth from the Bible and claim in so doing that God is anti-abortion.
Truth in and of God should be foremost in the Christians life.
I love God, I love all that is God. I love and cherish his word that brings comfort in times of joy and struggle. At times just the thought of the Bible makes my heart feel as if it is literally swelling inside my chest and I crave getting my hands on my copy so I can sustain that feeling and read till my heart is content.
And because I love and cherish God and his word I cannot in good conscience ignore those scriptures that do not fit my point of view on any one topic under discussion with my fellows, or on a forum dedicated to the truth of God in Christ.
And it is for that reason that I do not argue that God is adamantly pro-life. Because the scriptures do not prove me out.
In fact, those who argue that those scriptures do exist but, and that conjunction is pivotal in a pro-life Biblical argument, God can do whatever he likes because he is God.
If God can do whatever he likes because he is God, then one cannot argue that God, who has aborted babies, and has ordered babies cut from the womb, can not then be argued to be pro-life.
And to argue that women must be forced by law, and I am not saying you are doing this, this is a broad observation applicable to those who do, to carry to term against their will, and do so from a Biblical perspective while ignoring those verses wherein God has aborted women, ordered women aborted, committed infanticide, ordered infanticide, are then proposing that secular (mans) law impart a higher moral standard on women and the unborn than what is exampled by God in the scriptures.
And that is simply bad logic and to employ that is to not only decry God and his wisdom, but it is imputing upon fallible mortal humans a higher degree of moral authority via application of secular law, than what they argue is exampled by God who can, 'do whatever he wants to because he's God.'
If one believes that they can not argue that abortion is against God, God's will, or scripture. Because all three prove that argument invalid.
