Object: What does the Bible say about abortion?
Question: "What does the Bible say about abortion?"
Answer: There was no practice of abortion in Bible times. Therefore, the
Bible never specifically addresses the issue. However, there are numerous
teachings in Scripture that make it abundantly clear what God's view of
abortion is. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before He knits us in
the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 speaks of God's active role in our creation and
formation in the womb. Exodus 21:22-25 prescribes the same penalty of
someone who causes the death of a baby in the womb as the penalty for
someone who commits murder. This clearly indicates that God considers a
baby in the womb as just as much of a human being as a full-grown adult.
For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a woman's right to choose.
It is a matter of the life or death of a human being made in God's image
(Genesis 1:26-27; 9:6).
The first argument that always arises against the Christian stance on
abortion is, "What about cases of rape and/or incest?" As horrible as it
would be to become pregnant as a result of rape and/or incest, does that
make the murder of a baby the answer? Two wrongs do not make a right. The
child who is a result of rape/incest could be given up for adoption to a
loving family unable to have children on their own - or the child could be
raised by its mother. Again, the baby should not be punished for the evil
acts of its father.
The second argument that usually arises against the Christian stance on
abortion is, "What about when the life of the mother is at risk?" Honestly,
this is the most difficult question to answer on the issue of abortion.
First, let's remember that this situation is the reason behind less than
one-tenth of one percent of the abortions done in the world today. Second,
let's remember that God is a God of miracles. He can preserve the life of a
mother and a child despite all the medical odds being against it.
Ultimately, though, this question can only be decided between a husband,
wife, and God. Any couple facing this extremely difficult situation should
pray to the Lord for wisdom (James 1:5) as to what He would have them to do.

Since abortion never has been prosecuted as murder in this country -- probably
because abortion is legal, and murder isn't -- could you be bothered to think

Yes, it actually was. There were different systems of justice in the
totalitarian regime of Germany, as Fraenkel points out:
"In the early years of the Hitler regime, a theoretical treatise on the
legal status of the Jews would have had to investigate whether the Jews
were being more or less justly treated. Such a question would not be
relevant today. It must be remembered that in dictatorial countries,
the dichotomy of justice and injustice has been supplanted by one of
legality and lawlessness. Finally, the Reichsgericht itself has
refused to recognize Jews living in Germany as 'persons' in the
legal sense. In a decision of June 27, 1936 the highest German court
condemned Jews to a 'civil death.' In February 1933 a contract was
signed between a motion-picture stage manager and a film company. The
contractual reasons for the termination of the relationship were:
'sickness, death, or similar causes rendering the stage manager's
work impossible.' 295 A short time after signing the contract, when
the anti-Semitic wave started on the grand scale, the company denounced
the contract and refused to pay the salary agreed upon. The court had
to determine whether the Jewish origin of a motion-picture stage
manager was equivalent to 'sickness and death' as a reason for the
dissolution of the contract. The Reichsgericht declared that an
analogy did exist and dismissed the complaint of the stage manager. It
argued that 'the former (liberal) theory of the legal status of the
"person" made no distinction between races...The National-Socialist
philosophy, however, requires that German law recognize only persons of
German origin or those who by law are declared equal to them and that
only Aryans should enjoy all legal rights and privileges. It is merely
a renewal of old principles to distinguish between groups having all
legal rights and those who have only a limited number of rights. The
complete deprivation of all rights is described a "civil" death:
the case before this court permits an analogy. --Fraenkel, "The Dual
State" p 95

and involved
born_human-beings.

Apparently German law did not distinguish between birth status any more
than it did racial groups.

Murder is the ILLEGAL killing of a HUMAN BEING. Therefore, the
specific definition of murder can only be given with respect to a body
of law. I gave proof that abortion is not murder using a current body
of law, law which defines a human being AND specifically excludes legal
abortion from being considered murder.
I gave you the proof that you asked for, and you did exactly what I
said that you would do. What's more, this proof was very easy to find.
If you had any intelligence, you could have done so yourself.
You asked a specific question, proof that abortion was not murder. I
gave you a complete answer to that question, with cites. That is not
in defense of abortion. That is in answer to your question. You just
cannot handle the fact that your question was answered honestly and
completely, and not in your favor.

Murder is the ILLEGAL killing of a HUMAN BEING.


It also means to kill brutally or inhumanly.

Which abortion does not do in any case. After all, the women is
allowed to defend herself from unwanted use and harm to her person by
any reasonable means necessary. If anything, abortion is a case of
self defense.

By your definition, the
Holocaust wasn't murder.

No. It was murder. It was illegal to kill the Jews, Negros,
homosexuals, and gypsies without reason or trial, except as scapegoats
of the Nazi regime. The people convicted at Nuremburg were convicted
under the German law in existence at the time of the crime. The Nazis,
in the arrogance and hubris, never bothered to change the law.

*****.

My statement is a fact. The woman is defending herself from an
unwanted intrusion and use of her body.

The preborn is not the woman's property.

I never said it was. An embryo/fetus is not a person, nor is it a
human being, nor is there any obligation for the woman to continue an
unwanted pregnancy.
However, if the embryo/fetus is not wanted, and the woman does not want
to remain pregnant, it is an attacker, using and abusing her body
against her will. Therefore, she is allowed to take any reasonable
means to stop that use and attack.

This concept is an
explicit sanction of filial slavery.

And you are the one that wants to enslave the woman, and force her to
continue the hardships of an unwanted pregnancy against her will.

Parents are legal guardians of
children, never legal owners.

However, there are no children until birth. And the woman can give the
child away for another to care for at any time.


Abortion is the artificial, forcible, premature termination of a

pregnancy

with the express purpose of intentionally killing innocent human

life.
Close. There is no purpose of "intentionally killing innocent human
life". The purpose of an abortion is to end a pregnancy that the woman
does not want to continue, and thereby end what she considers to be an
undesirable medical condition. Her life is saved.

Childbirth is the natural, unforced, mature termination of a

pregnancy

with the (natural) intent of promulgating human life.

However, there is no obligation for a woman to continue an unwanted
pregnancy. Doing so is tantamount to slavery, since it forces the
woman to endure significant avoidable hardships without recourse, and
without being sentenced to do so in a court of law as punishment for a
crime.
Abortion is a valid alternative to pregnancy, if the woman chooses to
avail herself of it. Forcing a woman to continue an unwanted pregnancy
helps nobody. And forcing women to get abortions is just as bad. The
choice about whether to continue an unplanned pregnancy is up to the
woman exclusively. Her life, her body, her choice.

The woman is under no obligation to continue an unwanted pregnancy.
She is relieving herself of an unwanted medical condition. She is not
obligated to give your opinions or your beliefs any consideration.

Then you tell me how we end the pregnancy NOW, if we disallow abortion.
Forcing her to continue an unewanted pregnancy to completion is not an
option.
If the woman kills an assailant that is attacking her, there is no
murder and no "death penalty" since that is self defense. In an
abortion, the woman is defending herself from an unwanted use and abuse
of her body by any available means. There is no reason that she should
care about the life of the thing that is using and abusing her body.

Maybe Siamese twins
should be allowed to kill each other.

Sometimes, it is necessary to kill one in order for the other to
survive. Doctors usually try to separate the twins soon after birth,
which is why it is so rare to hear of any.
However, there is no obligation for one person to allow another to use
his or her body without his or her continuing consent. And that
includes donating blood or organs to save another person's life.
Therefore, there is no obligation for the woman to continue an unwanted
pregnancy, since the embryo/fetus is using her body without her
continuing consent.


This concept is an explicit sanction of filial slavery.


And you are the one that wants to enslave the woman, and force her

It's not her body.

Then who's body is it? Slavery is illegal in the USA, in case you had
not heard. Therefore, she does not belong to anyone else, and she does
not belong to the state. Therefore, her body is her own. It belongs
to her, and she has absolute control over it. She gets to dictate who
and what has use of it, in what manner, and when. And she can withdraw
that consent at any time and for any reason
Her life, her body, her choice.
