No doubt, if you search the internet long enough, you will find someone out there who supports your self-created ideology.
The Oxford Dictionary says of a fetus: "An unborn or unhatched offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception."
The Bible repeatedly declares the one does not become a living being until God breathes into its nostrils the breath of life.
So the Bible definition of a living being is quite clear, and it cannot happen until the fetus exits the womb. Your choice: Believe what God says, or make up your own fantasy.[/QUOTE\]
The scriptures show in one incident in the scriptures where God blew the breath of life in Adams nostrils and he became a living being. I haven't seen any scriptures where God did that to everyone who was born. Biology or genetics took over after God created Adam and Eve. When a embryo is in the womb of the woman the embryo has oxygen throughout its cells during the pregnancy. So the human life growing in the womb of a woman is already a living human.
Dr. J. Glenn comments: “The viable embryo in the uterus
IS a human individual, and therefore destroying it, is a violation of the sixth commandment.”—
The Bible and Modern Medicine, 1963, p. 176.
Every human life is important to Jehovah. Even an unborn baby is precious to him. Under the Law of Moses, if a person accidentally hurt a pregnant woman and either she or her baby died, Jehovah held that person guilty of manslaughter. This meant that even though it was an accident, someone had been killed and the life had to be compensated for. (Read
Exodus 21:22, 23.) To God, an unborn baby is a living person. Knowing that, how do you think he feels about abortion? How do you think he feels when he sees millions of unborn babies killed every year?
For those who try to state that the Hebrew scriptures in Exodus is only speaking about the woman, Bible lexicographers state that the wording of the Hebrew text “apparently renders it impracticable to refer the words to injury done to the woman alone.” Note, too, that the Bible says nothing about the age of the embryo or fetus being a factor in Jehovah’s judgment.
God’s interest in a human life begins before birth. The psalmist David wrote, saying to God: “You kept me screened off in the belly of my mother. . . . Your eyes saw
even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing.”—
Psalm 139:13-16; Ecclesiastes 11:5.
The lives of millions of unborn children are deliberately ended each year by abortion. Is this morally right? Some argue that the unborn baby is not conscious of life and is incapable of existing outside the womb. But that is also basically true of a newborn baby. At birth it has no grasp of life’s meaning, nor could it continue existing apart from constant care. The living cell formed at conception becomes such a baby if not interfered with. So if taking the life of a newborn is viewed as a crime nearly everywhere, and tremendous efforts are made to save even premature babies, why, then, is it not also a crime to take the life of the unborn? Why should life be viewed as sacred only
after it leaves the womb and not also while inside the womb?
The important thing is not just how men view matters but what God, the Giver of life, says. To Jehovah the life of the unborn child is precious, not to be trifled with. He gave a law to ancient Israel specifically protecting that life. If, in a struggle between two men, a pregnant woman was injured or a miscarriage resulted, this law set forth strict penalties. (
Exodus 21:22, 23) Taking the life of an unborn child deliberately would be even more serious. According to God’s law, anyone who deliberately took human life was to be sentenced to death as a murderer. (
Numbers 35:30, 31) God maintains the same high regard for life now.
