My own story has taught me that, at least in some cases, abortion is justified. By the way, a two or three month old fetus is not a human being, not a "baby"! That alone is what science and common sense say.
I know that some Christians do not want or cannot accept this. Here's a true story that happened in Utah in the 1990s:

The mother of eight children did not want a ninth child because she could not take care of the child and went to a clinic. Her husband stormed the clinic, taking his wife, doctor and nurses hostage to prevent abortion. Like his wife, he was a member of a Mormon sect (FLDS). He killed the doctor, injured a nurse before he could be arrested. In court, he pleaded not guilty because he wanted to save a baby's life, he said. He was indifferent to the life of his wife, doctor and nurse.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
The solution is ADOPTION. NOT MURDER!

100% premeditated murder in the 1st degree!
Since a fetus is not a person in the legal sense, this cannot be true either. So don't tell fake news, as your president does every day!

Try looking it up on UNBIASED websites! Do you honestly believe it was your mothers right to have YOU killed?!! GOD'S law precedes man's law! Just because humanistic radicals decided its "legal" to murder babies, doesn't make it right!!

This is a purely HUMANISTIC opinion.

And the Bible began to be written about 4,000 years ago (with the book of Job), but that is totally irrelevant. It is the written Word of God, given by divine revelation.

As to abortion, it is murder pure and simple. The only difference is that the baby is defenseless.
You are wrong about the age of the Bible! From an interesting article:

The Christian Bible has two sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the original Hebrew Bible, the sacred scriptures of the Jewish faith, written at different times between about 1200 and 165 BC. The New Testament books were written by Christians in the first century AD.
Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/texts/bible.shtml

The stories of the Bible first existed in oral form. From the 9th century B.C., a written language developed in Israel, and the oral texts began to be collected and written down.
People collected the words, stories, poems and sayings, but also official messages, for example from the surroundings of the royal courts. In places, the Old Testament itself gives clues as to which sources were used or where other material can be found. The best known is the reference to the "Chronicles of the Kings of Israel" or "Judah" (e.g. 1 Kings 11:41; 14,19; 14,29), in which one can read more about the deeds of the kings. Unfortunately, these documents are lost.
From the 5th century B.C., Jewish scholars then assembled the scriptures into larger units, starting with the Torah, the five books of Moses. The most recent books were not written until the 2nd century BC. Thus, from the beginnings of oral tradition to the last written records of the Old Testament, about a thousand years have passed.
The validity of individual books has long been controversial in Judaism. Presumably, the exact scope of the Hebrew scriptures was established towards the end of the 1st century A.D. In the centuries after the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D., Jewish scholars fixed the shape of the text down to the smallest detail. The Hebrew text thus edited is called "Masoretic text" because in its present form it is based on the "Masora" tradition of Jewish scholars ("Masoretes"). It is still the basis for the translation of the Old Testament.
An important note: Many of the stories in the OT come from the Babylonian captivity, were only rewritten in Jewish terms. So the story of creation and the tower of Babel. Everything is well documented. If there is interest, I take the time and search for evidence in the corresponding books.

The human being in the womb has a heart beating at 6 weeks, and you falsely claim this isn't a human being, "Sick In My Opinion"

A normal fetal heart rate (FHR) usually ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute (bpm) in the in utero period. It is measurable sonographically from around 6 weeks and the normal range varies during gestation, increasing to around 170 bpm at 10 weeks and decreasing from then to around 130 bpm at term.

Having a heartbeat does not mean being viable, being a finished person. Don't be ridiculous!

Because the Bible says children are blessings and God knits them in the womb, God would not be pleased with abortions.

My issue is people lay the blame almost entirely on women for the abortion, as though she is solely responsible and is the evil one. In many cases the boyfriend or husband is in favor of the abortion, maybe even the girl's parents. There are people who have multiple abortions, but in many cases they are more irresponsible and dumb than evil, such as people who treat abortion as a form of birth control.

God Hates abortion! A baby is a unique living human being from the start! Its certainly not a "blob" as leftists say. Each baby has their own DNA, their own blood that never touched the mother! God creates that child. Abortion is EVIL and anyone who performs the MURDER or willingly helps is twisted! Those tiny, beautiful, precious babies, who could have grown into unique and special people,are LITERALLY having their bodies TORN APART in these gruesome MURDERS called abortion! These tiny infants FEEL PAIN! can u imagine what these unborn children go through as they are sucked out of their mothers wombs?! Some places even allow live birth abortions!!!! That sweet precious baby is allowed to be born, only to have its neck spine CUT WITH SCISSORS TO KILL IT!!!! Mid_term babies too big to be sucked out of the womb have their brain sucked out to kill it be for the murderers remove its now lifeless body! IT IS EVIL!!! This is gruesome, but everyone needs to know this! Next time you think about "the mothers right to choose" remember: you are choosing COLD-BLOODED MURDER.
God hates abortion? Where does this say in the Bible (book, chapter, and verse)?
I think it is not God, but fundamentalist Christians who hate abortion, because then men are forbidden to continue to control and patronise women.
You know what? It pissed me off to be here!

I have spoken with a couple of devout Jews and was told that Jews do not have strong views on abortion like Christians. It is interesting since we both use the same OT, or almost the same.

Since there are usually multiple people involved in the abortion decision including the father and maybe parents, who gets charged with murder? Should people be charged as accomplices as well?

Usually if the father wants the baby and is willing to support the baby, the girl will keep.

Abortion is Murder,, and worse then murder it is the killing of the innocent.. God hates hands who shed innocent blood..

Proverbs 6: KJV
16 "¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: {17} A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, {18} An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, {19} A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
How can you be so stupid! Does it actually hurt to be so stupid? Take a look in the lexicon to see how this scripture should really be translated. Abortion does not occur in the original text!
Here is the translation of a university:

16: Six things are hated to the Lord, and seven are an abomination to him:
17: proud eyes, a false tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Source: https://www.uibk.ac.at/theol/leseraum/bibel/spr6.html

It is the interpretation that this means abortion. The Bible does not say it!
Since you've all been so stupid here not to accept the facts? If so, I have to leave here immediately, otherwise I will go crazy here.

It is only the decision of the woman, perhaps still that of a doctor, but by no means that of the husband, the parents or a clergyman. It is the woman who carries a fetus for nine months (usually) who educates it, and loves or hates it. And only she alone can disappear, whether she wants a child or not!

Men do not want the baby because they have to pay child support for the next 18 years.

See the above story from Utah! The right of the man, if he has rights in this regard, is never above the right of the woman to decide on her own body! It's as simple as that!

Nope i am not Stupid i Believe God.. Those who take part in Abortion,, Those who perform abortions and those who support abortion are murderers and have the blood of innocents on their hands.. And if they refuse to hear the word of God and acknowledge their sin and trust in the atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ they shall be cast into the eternal lake of fire for their sin..

It is not only for this reason that most fathers (there are always some notable exceptions) take care of their children. Most men want sex, and are frustrated when for his wife the children are more important. Some of these despicable species then force their wife to have sex, calling it the "fulfillment of marital duties" when they rape her.

I think the father does have rights to the baby even though he is not carrying, and especially so if the woman even if she believes her body her decision later expects him to pay child support.

However this is not a concern in most cases since the man doesnt want to pay child support for 18 years and have his life drastically changed.

If the woman doesnt want a baby she should already be on birth control, especially if she is having casual sex and doesnt want the baby.

You call me a murderer because I stand up for every woman's right to abortion? This is not only stupid, that is also wrong!
Fortunately, you are right about me being a murderer. Not because I had an abortion, but because I killed my so-called "father" in Idaho when I was fourteen, who had beaten and raped us all. I was sentenced to 20 years. In prison, I met many girls and women convicted of abortion. The judges did not ask why. The women were guilty. But were they really?
Is a woman, a girl guilty; that was raped by a family member and rejected by the family for "this shame", really guilty if she abates?
Is a woman guilty of having an abortion because she is forced to abort by her boyfriend because he does not want to pay for aliments?
Many of these women in prison who had had an abortion told such stories. And many of them, including me, united one thing: hatred of men.
