What Would Jesus Say About This?

Abortion,

It is legal in the United States of America and in many areas abroad. Every year, approximately 46 Million unborn babies are slaughtered. That means that approx. 126,000 are killed every day. So that means approx. 5250 are killed in an hour, 88 in a min and 1 every second. Yet many people in the world would say that it is justifiable. They say that a mother should have the right to do what she wants with her unborn baby. They say it isn't technically a life yet. Will you please enlighten me as to why they are not considered a legitimate life? Is it because it just makes it more convenient for the mother? So she could just put it out of sight and not feel guilty?

Are you trying to tell me, that the heartbeats being read on the ultrasound, and the kicks and the turns in the womb are not coming from a living human being? Where is it coming from then?

52% of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32% of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%.

So pregnant women of all ages are at risk of commiting this act.

So what would Jesus say about this? You might say, who cares? I don't even believe in God. But apparently, many of the mothers who abort their babies do.

In the United States, "Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%...18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical"."

I have a feeling that it suddenly does matter what God thinks of Abortion. Does God really care about abortion?

In Jeremiah 1:5 God tells Jeremiah "I knew you before you were in your mother's womb. Before you were born, I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world."

God is saying that he knew this prophet Jeremiah, before he even entered the womb of his mother. Not only did he know Jeremiah, but he already had set forth a plan for his life, and predestined him to do great things.

Psalms 139:13 says, "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mothers womb."

Exodus 21:22-25 says "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

This passage says it all! God is saying that the life of an unborn and premature baby is just as valuable as that of an adult human being. Now it would be wise that you do not argue what you have just read, because you know, that way deep down in your conscience. You know that what you have read is right. The child within a mother's womb is not merely a "fetus" it is a baby, a living human baby.

"We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life--the unborn--without diminishing the value of all human life."

--Ronald Reagan

It is clear and simple, abortion is wrong, wether you like it or not! So many of you may ask, what about in the cases of rape or incest? I believe that two wrongs do not make a right, and if raising that child may be too much for the mother, I suggest that she put that child up for adoption instead of killing her. "Or what if the baby must be aborted to save the mother's life? Well, I can't give an answer for that one, because in that case, two lives are at risk of death and it is up to the responsible party to make the best judgement he/she can make.

But those, difficult scenarios are not very common.

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

We as people cannot be reduced to this. We do not have the right to take a life because it is "unwanted or inconvenient." If we accept this as a way of life

In Conclusion, it seems rather obvious the Jesus would not approve abortion. How do I know that? Well, because God does not approve abortion as noted in the above scripture. In John 10:30, Jesus stated that "I and the Father are one." They therefore have the same views and Ideas. Jesus does not tolerate this kind of action.

Now, I am not condemning the mothers who have committed the act of abortion, but neither am I condoning what they have done. If you have committed the act of abortion and you are born again in Christ, then he has already forgiven you. If you wish to be forgiven and have not been Born again, all you need to do is to call upon The Lord Jesus Christ and repent of your sins, ask him to forgive you, and you must believe that he was crucified, died and rose on the third day. If you have done that, then welcome to the family. However we should never excuse the legal crime of abortion.
