It seems there are some on here who are throwing Bible verses around to define when life begins. Well check this out:
Job 31:15
"Did not He Who made me in the
womb make [my servant]? And did not One fashion us both in the
womb?"
If you abort you are ending something God has fashioned.
Psalm 127:3
"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the
womb a reward."
If you abort you are throwing away a reward.
Psalm 139:13
"For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother's
womb."
If you abort you are destroying something God has made.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
"As you know not what is the way of the wind, or how the spirit comes to the bones in the
womb of a pregnant woman, even so you know not the work of God, Who does all."
If you abort you are destroying bones with the Spirit.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the
womb I knew [and] approved of you...
God can know someone in the womb.
Jeremiah 20:17
"Because he did not slay me in the
womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, and her
womb always great."
Someone can be killed in the womb.
Hosea 12:3
"He took his brother by the heel in [their mother's]
womb, and in the strength [of his manhood] he contended and had power with God."
Someone can have power with God in the womb.
Luke 1:44
"For behold, the instant the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the baby in my
womb leaped for joy."
A baby in the womb can hear and have joy.
Luke 23:28-29
28"But Jesus, turning toward them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, the days are coming during which they will say, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and [
g]to be envied) are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have never nursed [babies]!"
Jesus told women of his day to mourn for their children because there would be a day when it would be considered a good thing not to have children. Why would he tell them to mourn that?
Vote carefully about when life begins because you will answer for it one day!!
