All right, suppose I have a machine gun, and I know that somebody is standing behind a door, and I fire that machine gun. That’s murder, right? Now suppose I have a machine gun, and I know that nobody is standing behind that door, and I fire the machine gun. That’s not murder, right? But suppose I’m not sure whether or not somebody is standing behind that door. Thinking there may or may not be, I fire that machine gun. Am I, then, guilty if somebody dies? Yes.
You see, before I can take that life, I need to be sure of something: not whether or not that it is life, but that it is not human life. If everyone says, “We can’t be sure,” then I say—if you’re going to err, err on the side of life.
Jeremiah 1:5a says, “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.”

Powerful, inspirational, and corrective! Thanks for sharing. Abortion is synonymous to committing murder. If the EARTHLY law does not conspicuously support this, the HEAVENLY law backs it up, and the JUDGE will judge the act one day. But my question, what about a pregnancy that is threatening to the life of the mother?
Well there is no concrete guidance on that in the Bible I don’t think. Even if the life of the mother is in danger, an abortion is still wrong. That being said, I could understand a woman having an abortion if her life is in danger.
Alright! God’s guidance will always be available to us.
