Is abortion the taking of human life or is just the removal of tissue, like removing a cancerous tumor or other abnormalities of the body? The taking of human life is a decision that will affect you more in a lifetime than almost anything else. With the choice presented before you, one should look to GOD’S word to see how GOD has already given us how HE feels about any subject. Old testament verses are still appropriate for us to learn from as Paul, the apostle to the gentile, of grace states in Rom C15 V4, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” and 2 Tim C3 V16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”. From these two verses we see that all of GOD’S word we need to study and use to make our decisions. GOD’S guidance for us is contained in HIS word, the bible.

- Psalms C139 V13, “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.”

GOD’S word should guide us through life and the verses above show GOD knows us long before we are born. Even the scientific facts presented should also guide us for JESUS CHRIST is the CREATOR GOD who created everything to include mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology etc..
