Another Abortion Poll

Life begins at conception. At conception, the one cell has everything to grow into a full grown human being. Yes, they cannot survive on their own but neither can a newborn baby. God formed us by His hand from the moment those two cells came together (and who knows if He's the One who pushes that sperm through), so if His own hand touches a baby from that point, who are we to say that it's not a life?

 

My daughter and I went to see the Bodies Exhibit in NY 2 weeks ago. That was an absolutely amazing thing to see. HOW anyone can go through there and say that our bodies just evolved, I don't get it. But there was one room - the fetal development room that was the most amazing. They had babies from 5 weeks (3 weeks gestation) to full term and even at just 8 weeks (6 weeks from time of conception), there were TOES!! TOES PEOPLE!! I have to say that I cried in that room. Not so much for the fact that these were real babies who had been lost for whatever reason, but that God is just so utterly amazing in His handiwork. There's no way I could walk out of there saying that at any point a baby is just a clump of cells and not human. There's no way.

 

I heard one preacher say that life begins after the umbilical cord is cut!

Here is a google page on some links:

 

So what was it that jumped in Elizabeth's womb when Mary came in and told her of the child she was carrying???? Weird.

 

Late night Mexician dinner:laugh:

The baptist pastor who said that were using the facilities of a Baptist church. When I had the chance, I infomed the pastor of the church (who owned the bldg) about he "theology" of the other baptist group. Though Pastor Jim believes life begins at conception - and showed some concern about the unusual belief of the "renting" pastor, much to my dismay, no action was taken - and they allowed the group to continue using the facilites.
Oh my:tear:

 

Sorry, Jim

"my Jim" is about 5' 6"

I think I've mentioned this before but D&Cs not usually for abortions. The vast majority do not involve pregnancy at all. I've had 7 D&Cs and two involved a baby - but only one involved the removal of the baby. My 5 that were not pregnancy related were due to hemorraging and I would have bled to death had I not had them. The first one for a pregnancy was after a miscarriage and the bleeding would not stop. The final one was for my last miscarriage and my body would not miscarry the baby who had died the 2 weeks before, so the doctor decided to remove the baby (who was most definitely dead as per 3 ultrasounds) to try to find out why I miscarried again.

But from my understanding, D&Cs are not the commonly used form of first trimester abortion. It is mostly used for gynecological issues rather than obstetrical issues.

 

Also wanted to find out what birth defects would cause a woman to die giving birth? I've heard of none.

As for the women who got pregnant out of wedlock, we should not support their right to kill a child just because they were irresponsible and disobedient to God's Word. Instead we should show compassion and grace - and help them through a difficult time, supporting them in either keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption. We should assist them in their pregnancy, labor and years as a single mama. Why kill a baby instead? Is that what Jesus would have us do?
