There's no biblical indication that abortion is murder.
The Bible is very clear that after the Flood, unjustly taking the life of an innocent human being is a capital crime. We know that an unborn baby is an innocent human being.
In fact, Jewish tradition always held that life doesn't begin until they have seen the light of day, when the fetus is halfway through the birth canal.
Jewish tradition also held that up to 40 days, the unborn baby is “mere fluid.”
Kind of hard to accept since we now know that even the heart is beating before that.
Jewish tradition also held that in later stages of development, the baby is actually a part of the mother (like a limb).
Kind of hard to accept since now we know that the baby is completely different from the mother (half the time not even the same sex!).
And, if life doesn’t begin until the baby is halfway through the birth canal, how could Elizabeth have known that the unborn John “leaped for
joy” in her womb?
The Bible mentions 'light of day' several times, and in Exodus women take priority over the fetus which were for all intensive purposes property.
The Exodus passage refers to a departing of the child. If the result is a premature birth, then a fine is levied, presumably for the added burden. If a miscarriage…life for life.
These are well established things that are lost on the pro-life crowd, who cannot be convinced anymore than they are willing to actually go after the real institution of abortion.
~Feminism~
I believe radical feminism is only part of the problem. The percentage of support for abortion is very close to being equal between men and women. Pro-murder women welcome abortion so they aren’t “burdened.” Pro-murder men welcome abortion so they can use women, then not be “burdened.” We need to actually go after the real institution of abortion ~Rebellion against God~
