Abortioin Allowed In The Bible by Abdulsalam20(m): 2:22pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
THIS WAS COPIED FROM A CHRISTIAN DUDE most fanatics (anti abortionist) would say that abortion is murder, but they haven’t looked closely at the Bible. So let’s see what the Word of God says on this matter: In the Old Testament, a law was stated clearly from the Children of Israel after they came out of Egypt: If, when men come to blows, they hurt a woman who is pregnant and she suffers a miscarriage, though she does not die of it, the man responsible must pay the compensation demanded of him by the woman’s master; he shall hand it over, after arbitration. But should she die, you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. (Exodus 21:22-24, Jerusalem Bible) In other words, if you cause the death of the fetus, you merely pay a fine; if you cause the death of the woman, you lose your own life. Thus, the Bible clearly shows that a fetus is not considered a person. If the fetus were considered to be a person, then the penalty for killing it would be the same as for killing the woman – death. These verses in Exodus, by the way, are backed up by four thousand years of Jewish law; abortion has never been considered murder in Jewish law. A fetus is only a potential person. Incidentally, the fine the Israelite man had to pay was not for the fetus; it was for hurting the woman. This is made clear in another translation of the same verses (Revised Standard Version): “The one who hurt her (the woman) shall be fined.” There was no fine for hurting the fetus because it was not considered a person. Then i am sure that you anti-abortionist would say that LIFE begins as soon as a woman is pregnant. NO IT DOESN'T. Life begins before conception. The sperm is alive and the ovum is alive – long before they get together at the moment of fertilization. As one great doctor said, “Life does not begin at conception; it is only changed and now has the potential for a different form.” If terminating life is murder, then the anti-abortionist should be consistent and say that terminating the life of the egg or sperm is murder too, contraception/self-service etc. Then the anti-abortionist might say that If the embryo is a potential person, shouldn’t it be treated the same way as a full-fledged person? of course NOT! An acorn is not an oak, a seed is not a rose, an embryo is not a human being. Nowhere in the Bible is the embryo or fetus given the status of a human being. Personhood does not begin at conception. The Bible indicates that personhood begins when a baby emerges from the mother’s womb. In the Bible and in modern life, birthdays are observed on the date of the baby’s emergence from the womb. The precise moment of the beginning of personhood is when the baby takes its first breath because that’s when God infuses the baby with a soul. Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” In other words, when an infant breathes its first breath, the soul enters its body and it achieves the status of person. then you might say that god wants every foetus to grow into a person. well, not according to the Bible. In Ecclesiastes 6:3, God compares the rich man who has led an empty foolish life with a still-born infant and says, “it would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” The world is better off without Judases and Hitlers and Charles Mansons – who quite often begin life unwanted, grow up abused and hated, and then take out their anger on society. How many psychopaths and destructive misfits will be born if anti-abortionist force women to bear unwanted children? The main motivation for anti-abortionists is revenge. They want to see pregnant mothers suffer the consequences of their sin. I have seen the evil gleam of vengeance in the anti abortionists’ eyes as they say, “She had her fun; now she has to pay the price.” When the mob wanted to stone the woman who had committed adultery, Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” (John 8:7) I’m afraid that if Jesus were to repeat those words today, these self-righteous hypocrites would pick up stones and smash the poor girls who have been guilty of making a mistake. Stoning is not far from what these fanatics are in fact trying to do today. They are not so much pro-life as they are pro- vengeance. Their stones are these cruel words: “You must have that baby!” To the woman who says, “I have seven children already,” the fanatics reply, “You must have that baby!” To the woman who says, “I was Molested,” the fanatics reply, “You must have that baby!” To the woman who says, “My doctor says I will die if I have this baby,” the fanatics reply, “You must have that baby!” You must have that baby – words of stone, crueler than the stones hurled at sinners in Jesus’ day by self righteous Pharisees. then you would probably say that a person SHOULD suffer the consequences of their wrongdoing. yes, but if the girl wants to go ahead and have the baby, fine; but she shouldn’t be forced to have it. Why? Because the one who will suffer the most is not the mother but the child. Unwanted, unloved children are frequently abused, and they often grow up to become delinquents and criminals. Then society is made to suffer, as well. The “punishment” of the mother is enormously out of proportion to the so called “crime.” you would then say: Shouldn’t a woman who has had an abortion feel some amount of shame? No,why should she!? there is no need for her to hang her head in shame. She is showing respect for life and devotion to God when she says, “Life is too precious for me to bring a child into the world at this time. I want to wait until I have the money or the emotional resources to be a good mother.” final point: I believe that abortion is sometimes the Christian and humane alternative. I believe that God wants us to bring into this world only the number of children which we can adequately take care of. I believe that God has given us this safe surgical procedure as a gift to hold down the population in a world that is choked with too many people and not enough food, a world that is filled with unwanted children. |

What is the definition of abortion? It is wilful removal of an unwanted pregnancy. But here it is said if it is aborted by blows. It means it is inadvertently removed by blows, therefore this cannot fall under abortion as the woman does not give her consent for the removal of the pregnancy. 1 Like |
