abortion? No, thank you.

In a period in which much-discussed the issue of abortion pill RU486, it seems obvious to ethical considerations on the issue of abortion.

Abortion is perhaps the most debated social issue of our time. With more than 27 millions of abortions that have occurred in the period 1973-1991, almost everyone has an opinion on the matter. The abortion issue was used as a symbol of independence in the feminist movement, and it was overshadowed by many other problems such as rape and incest. however, in order to obtain an abortion biblical vision, We have to rake away the slime that obscures the main issues on the issue and focus on its substance.

The main point of conflict in the abortion debate is to answer the question “When life begins?”. For if life begins in the womb, then no one can deny that the fetus (In latino little) It is a human being, and it is subject to the rights (God's laws regarding mankind) dell’ human being. In the first place, the Bible states that God recognizes a person even before this was born. “The LORD called me from the womb, he named my name since my mother's womb.” (Isaiah 49:1). Exodus 21:22-23 It describes a situation in which a man strikes a pregnant woman and makes her give birth prematurely. If there is no serious injury the man is required to pay a fine, but if there are “serious injury” for the mother or baby, the man is guilty of murder and due criminally. this command, per se, legitimizes the humanity of the unborn child, and places the child at a level equal to that of the adult male who has caused the miscarriage. The scriptural support abounds for the humanity of the unborn child.

You were you who created my inmost, you knit me together in my mother's womb ... My frame was not hidden you were, when I was made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth ... Your eyes saw my substance, and in thy book they were all written, which in continuance were fashioned me, when as yet there was none of them.” (will 139: 13-16).

the Bible, indeed, uses the same Greek word to describe the unborn John the Baptist (Luca 1:41,44), the newborn baby Jesus (Luca 2:12,16), and small children who were brought to Jesus for his blessings (Luca 18:15).

Perhaps the most important biblical revelation about the humanity of the unborn comes from Geremia 20, during Jeremiah's cry of pain, in which he complains that would never been born,:

Cursed be the man who brought my father the news: "I was born a male", and filled him with joy! that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented! Let him hear crying in the morning and an alarm at noon war. Because I am not dead when I was still in the womb? So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb to.
(Geremia 20:15-17).

From the verses above, and other countless ways, we understand that the Bible actually states that an unborn child is as a man in God's eyes, as we are. This indicates that the command “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13) It is certainly true for the baby lying in the womb. So, when we read Genesis 9:6, there is full realization of what it means to murder and is focused: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God he made man.” Murder is an abomination in God's eyes, because it's the unauthorized killing of a being in his own image, and a blurring of the distinction creator / creature (cf. Romans 1).

Although the issue of when life begins is important for many, the question is more representative in the vision of today “that the quality of life I can offer the child?” It is worth to continue the pregnancy? This is a dangerous question. Who can decide such an important thing? We want to apply this question to every human being? We can know whether a fetus, or even a child with Down syndrome, They will have a quality of life equal to that of a perfectly normal human being? These questions only lead to a kind of genetic elitism, and should also not be placed. Perhaps the greatest irony of the whole abortion thing is that anyone who wants an abortion (or those who defend abortion) is the same person who cares about the cases of social justice (they will tell “poor thing, life that I have to offer him?”) It is that much of social justice is to give help and justice to those who are unable to do for themselves. This is the protestant scope case valdese a liberal and universal, where everything is relative and where abortion is in defending, and it happens in the field Waldensian, of primary importance is humanitarian aid and for assisting policy next: “If you must make a life of suffering or do to make her mother remained poor and homeless, better not born!” This is what they say. A real contradiction when you consider the fact that it should be a Christian denomination!

Indeed, From the same mouth he says that we must protect the homeless, Poors, animals and the environment, They come out words that speak of killing a human being not yet born! This contradiction should not be overlooked, because we can not see the cruelty, the degradation of humanity, and violation of the decrees of God's justice incurred by those who hide behind charity and love of neighbor.

Mother Teresa, perhaps one of the most renowned in the world for the help of the dispossessed said: “If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell others not to kill each other? … Any country accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what he wants”.

Furthermore, the logical consequence of the desire to “Abortion on demand” and euthanasia are, the first infanticide, – the killing of a newborn if it has physical or mental abnormalities – and the second is to kill those who are inconvenient to care for the living. Human life is devalued to the point that even the uterus, a symbol of tranquility and peace, becomes a place of death.

Biblical Christianity therefore provides the judgment on the issue. Certainly there are some difficult situations in which women are, and the Christian community offers many opportunities to help these women who often can not afford a child, or who do not have a very good situation to raise a child. The adoption of these children is perhaps the most obvious thing. Another alternative is to provide room and board to the mother with a family in the meantime the situation improves. The Christian view says that a woman should never be in a situation to choose between her and her baby, which should in any case, unearth. In reality, there is also a waiting list for those wishing to adopt children with Down syndrome.

Yup, God's Word gives us a clear and understandable account of the unborn child is a human being and the protection of the law protected.

Abortion is not a personal choice, but a huge ethical issue that concerns the whole community, not only Christian, the whole world, such as the death penalty or the murders must concern the whole world and all human beings. Christians must fight against the legalization of the murder of the innocent!

If you are still convinced that abortion is a personal choice that other people should not be judged, Please go to Google Images and type “Abortion”. Will come out a series of photographs that will change his mind even the most convinced and defender of this inhumane practice.
