The punishment for killing varies based on the intent of the killer, not only in man's law, but in God's word as well. In God's word, in the Mosaic law, death was the penalty for the unwarranted intentional killing (murder) of another. No trial was necessary, and judgment was swift.
There is no justification whatever in God's word for the murder of an innocent human being in the womb. None. When others say it's alright to kill the baby to save the mother, that shows just how depraved human nature is. We all will one day die. Those pregnant mothers have lived and have sinned while they lived. Are they saved? If yes, then they know this is not their permanent home.
I knew of a woman that had cancer, detected when her child was 6 months in the womb. The only chance at survival for the mom was to begin treatment immediately. To do so would mean certain death for her unborn child. She chose the life of her daughter, and in the end sacrificed her own life so that her daughter could have life. Her non-saved friends all encouraged her to abort, but she was true to her faith, true to what Jesus taught: there is no greater love than a man lay down his life for his friends.
Agreed. Part of being a Christian is the respect for life. This is part of the American way, the values and morals that made this country great. All the things that the cancel culture and the new social denominations want to destroy.
I keep warning about the left coming up with their own language...ie progressive mean march towards communism. Abortion is not really a term you use for humans. It is a word used to soften what you are actually doing. The process so horrific that you cannot show it on this forum or even television or movies...
Our brains work on words and experiences. The people that want to murder babies do not want to call it murder, they do not want it shown for what it really is. Abortion sound less offensive than murder or killing, and then there is the attempt to reclassify babies as non-human. Using the word abortion also distorts the reasoning of the facts, there is room for opinion on the facts of killing a baby. And that reasoning needs to be made at that serious level. You are choosing to kill, not choosing to abort. If you terminate a pregnancy, you have killed a human being....period!
Now is there any possible reason for killing a baby?
Rape...incest...two wrongs make a right?
A woman's health....if she is that sick....maybe she should not be having sex? Because sex can make you pregnant? We live in an age where people do not want to accept responsibility for their actions, so killing a baby is the way out? Really?
I imagine that there are circumstances that you would have to pick between the mother and the child. I don't think it happens very often. I have only heard of one such story...and that was under very odd circumstance that involved a doctor coming up on a car accident out in a rural area. A pregnant woman was severally injured and was about to die. The doctor had a choice to remove the woman and take her to the hospital, but she would die on the way or he could perform a cesarean and remove the baby, which she would probably die in the process, and she did die. If he would not have made the choice, they both would have died. Opinions will vary as to if he made the right choice. But this type of scenario is so rare that it is really not part of the discussion.
There maybe times when a woman becomes sick and can not carry the baby to term...well now a days a baby can be taken pretty early and still survive....if it is within a couple months of her being pregnancy then you get into the few cases that many try to argue are the most cases....any sign of trouble kill the baby....Ya I do not buy it.
Either way abortion is killing an innocent.
