Life Is A Gift Not an Option

Life is precious, so tender and delicate. When women who have unexpected pregnancies get an abortion they are killing another life and keeping it from being apart of society. When women get abortions they are telling the world that they are not ready to take on this type of responsibility

"Abortion is the intervention that does not allow a developing child to be born. Abortion is the death of another less developed human being."Abortion is a choice, so the phrase "pro-choice" is a substitute for the word abortion (prochoice.com/abort what.html). Not only does abortion prevent birth of another human, but it defiles the woman. Abortion is one of the many sins that Jesus despises of. In exodus the twentieth chapter and the thirteenth verse God strictly told the Israelites not to murder (in many cases some of the saints of the Church put Abortion under that category) (New Living Translation, Exodus 20:13). Jesus himself puts abortion in with the group of murder.

Prolife is just another word or phrase for saying that "life is a choice and a gift form God." Religious Projects such as Matthew 28:20 stand in against abortion. The Matthew 28:20 Project states that they are here on the earth to carry out Jesus' great commission which states that Jesus told his disciples to make disciples of men, but to also "teach them [the world] to observe all that [Jesus] commanded (abortionno.org/matt.html). The Bible in Genesis 1:26-28 talks about how God blessed the first man and woman saying to them to be fruitful and multiply. " God said ,Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our own likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beast, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female. He created them. And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it." (Amplified Version, Genesis 1: 26-28). The bible itself talks about being fruitful and multiplying. Basically the Bible itself is going against Pro-Choice and is going for Pro-Life.

Abortion is wrong. Religious leaders, religious views, and religious issues all say that abortion is wrong. Jesus himself considers (like I said before) abortion to be murder. God himself according to the book of Genesis says that he wants us to produce and bring up more generations. Nowhere in the bible or halfway in the bible does Jesus or God say that abortion is acceptable beause they [God, and God the Son] all consider abortion to be murder. So the next time you are with somebody and they are thinking about getting an abortion have them sit down with you and share this information with them.
