I never had an abortion, but my mother often thought about abortion at the time. However, German law at the time forbade her to do so, and so she was forced to get us. And we children felt their rejection. For example, I remember a scene i was about four years old when my mother beat my sister with a wooden hanger so much that she had to be taken to the hospital.
It would have been better for us to never have been born.
There are many good ways to prevent pregnancy these days. Women who do not want children would do well to apply them.

As a seeker of a religion, you can still have your own opinions. Also on the subject of abortion.
I am a Christian in the sense that I was forcibly baptized as a baby. I do not count the "baptism" of the JW sect among them.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that abortion is forbidden by God. It is all just an interpretation of some biblical passages.
Not only do I read Harry Potter or other novels, I also read the Bible and many nonfiction books on a wide variety of topics. And when I read the Bible and various books on biblical topics, I come to different results than the people here.
Here you want people to believe recklessly, but I only believe in the facts.
That's why I want my account to be deleted. I don't want to have anything to do with you fools anymore.

I so rate "God's Word" higher than all those things you mention, and so I accept the badges you provide, but you might want to understand what the Bible says on the subject in the first place, and really study it out. It is not as many make it out to be, and is deeper than most know. Yet if not, I still accept God's word none the less as above all.
Psa_138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

I believe that a woman has total responsibility to maintain control over her body as long as her choices are in line with the Word of God. If a woman has 8 children and doesn't want another mouth to feed she needs to be responsible about when she has her relations in that she needs to make sure that she can't get pregnant and if she slips she should hold herself accountable to the Word of God and the Word of God says that abortion is murder because that child is a creation of God.
And what about the woman who doesn't want children and where the anti-baby pill has failed?
Again the responsibility is on the woman to exercise complete control over her body. Any abortion pill is a gamble any time they are used and if the abortion pill fails the woman is responsible for the life that has been created within her and that life was created by God because no life is created without the permission of God and all life is created by God. Not Men.
Should a woman or girl who has been raped be forced to have a baby, or should she not be given the right to abortion, to avoid further psychological and physical harm?
No matter what Abortion is always a choice and not an option. If a raped woman or girl is a believer she should always keep the life created inside of her because God is dead set against premeditated murder of any of His creations and never abort it.
I was told that the Bible (especially the Old Testament) condemns abortion. Only, the Bible was written more than 2,000 years ago, when people had little idea of pregnancy, contraception, and things like that, and where children were seen as possessions, cheap labor, and insurance for old age.
2000 years ago women still had cycles just like women do today and forms of birth control have been around since before Christ.
Birth control and abortion are well documented in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. Mesopotamian women used "stones not to give birth", they used small circular stones that they put as deep as possible into their vagina, it's the intrauterine method. (See History of abortion.) The Ebers Papyrus from 1550 BC and the Kahun Papyrus from 1850 BC have within them some of the earliest documented descriptions of birth control, the use of honey, acacia leaves and lint to be placed in the vagina to block sperm.[5][6] Another early document explicitly referring to birth control methods is the Kahun Gynecological Papyrus from about 1850 BC. It describes various contraceptive pessaries, including acacia gum, which recent research has confirmed to have spermatocidal qualities and is still used in contraceptive jellies. Other birth control methods mentioned in the papyrus include the application of gummy substances to cover the "mouth of the womb" (i.e. the cervix), a mixture of honey and sodium carbonate applied to the inside of the vagina, and a pessary made from crocodile dung. Lactation (breast-feeding) of up to three years was also used for birth control purposes in ancient Egypt.[6]
The Book of Genesis references withdrawal, or coitus interruptus, as a method of contraception when Onan "spills his seed" (ejaculates) on the ground so as to not father a child with his deceased brother's wife Tamar.[5]
Customs were much more different then compared to today and children were not considered to be cheap labor at all. They were considered to be assets to the family who responsibility was to take part in the family function of sevival so you need to educate yourself about that.
Lstaly we need to remember that God is always there for us and as long as we are always focused on Christ He will always make a way for us and He will always heal and make us whole. We can do all thing through Christ. Even keeping a baby conceived out of rape.

The decision of abortion belongs to multiple people- woman, man, parents if there are minors. If boy doesnt want baby and tells girl to abort he is responsible. David sent a soldier to kill Uriah, he did not kill but is responsible for murder. Even if the girl and boy are not married they kind of become "one" because they consumated, so what the boy says matters and as he has "authority" over the woman his words count.
Her body her decision was decided by Supreme Court not God.

How is the term "pro life" anti woman?
WOW God created the Supreme Court. HOW ignorant can you be? Abortion has eliminated over 60,000,000 tax payers from our tax roles, 60,000,000 Social Security payers from paying into Social Security. Our country is a tax based Society which uses tax's to support ourselves. How much longer do you think we are going to keep spending more and more money then we have comming in while at the same time we are elinminating our tax base?????
It's onle a matter of time (and that time is very close) before America will crash and burn because we killed off so many tax paying Americans before that were allowed to pay any taxes.
Not only is abortion murder but it is bankrupting America.

It can get tricky if you really dive down deep into it.
Technically I believe the life is in the blood according to the Bible. So anything before the first heartbeat is "okay." That would be the before/after pill and blastocysts from ivf. It's not ideal and we don't live in an ideal world. If we did there would be no rape or infertility.
If a woman is raped she needs to take the before/after pill which is highly effective. After that having the baby should happen. Granted I'm not going to judge what she did does, but killing a baby isn't going to take away the pain of being raped. Nothing will. This is 1% of abortion cases.
Now into the norm. A woman gets pregnant by not being safe or having a bad judgement call. Granted it sucks. However does the guy ever get a say to what happens to his DNA, his baby? Nope... How is that fair?
The notion that it's the women's body is a weak one. Beauty is fleeting and even if you don't have a baby every person grows old. Your body changes. You don't get to choose nature... It is what it is. How I wish I had my gorgeous 25 year old body back! But....I have battle scars and I've grown through my experience. Many things happen to a body that you have no control over.
The baby feels PAIN. I can't emphasize this enough. The baby feels PAIN. They grimace and have high stress responses during abortion indicating the baby is feeling everything.
Knowing that last statement, don't tell me you're a Christian and support a party that supports abortion. It IS our problem. Do you know places are cursed according to such things? So whether you support throwing babies to a volcano god or dismembering a baby in the womb it's the same thing.
