both lives are equally precious.

There are lots of reasons to believe that there is more to life than what goes on in the material world. Most people in the world believe that their life continues after the death of their body, and that we are only here because a very powerful being has created us. It makes sense to think about how you might orientate your life if that is true. \n\nIf the deaths of your friends and relatives has made you realise that life is fragile, then take that as a call to investigate deeper what is the truth of our human life. \n\nTalk to someone who has a focus beyond the material world and who seems happy and contented, and find out what it is that gives them peace.

Some folks carry the abortion thing to extreme extremes, like to the point of conception.  Get a copy of monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" and check out the (I think second) vingette, "Every Sperm is Special".  It's a hoot.

The endagered species.... Probably because I am an animal lover but also because while they both are precious this world is much worse off with the link of a species missing and if the species is endangered that means every one really really counts. (Not that the childs life doesnt count)...\n\nIts really a hard pick and if put in the situation my answer could totally change...

Don't know, but I have read that the total number people alive today is far greater than the total number of people who have ever lived and died.\n\nThe short answer is; everyone who has survived birth.

Its a living soul, its should not be anybody choice to take that life away, if you can't raise your child, then you should use protection and if accident happen then you should give your child to adoption agency.....

The baby has done nothing wrong.  It has not even had the chance to sense anything.  To cut that short is wrong.  I know there is a lot of pain in life, but there is also so much joy.  The innocent have the right to experience it and make choices.  And if you believe in pre destination, that aborted baby might grow up to cure AIDS, or something.\n\nThose on death row under sentence to die have made some horrible choices and choices have consequences.  (The Bible says,"You reap what you sow.")  Why should a person's life fall outside the jurisdiction of this principle?  In capital punishment, the victim had a choice made for them, society in an effort to legislate morality makes the decision to compensate for the loss of a life.\n\nThe difference is in the choices made.  Unborn have no say so in it.  The condemned made their choice.

I had a fabulously annoying meaningless and stupid answer for that one, but here goes a truthful one:\n\nHeritage is more important to me because if my children were to be born elsewhere and eventually raised there, I would like them to have my values and customs regtardless of their nationality.

Only difference in an unborn child and a 2 year old child to God is the age.\n\nLuke 17\n1Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! \n2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

yes there is.. as there is death after life.... life and death should be viewed as passing from one state to another....\n\nlike before you were born were you dead?? and if you came down frm heaven as an innocent child, did u die in heaven and take birth here??

Yes I would say it is murder. There are people willing to adopt so why kill when you can give others the gift of life. Youth and immaturity can sometimes give us justifications instead of intellectually sound reasoning. Most will agree, unless you were raped or forcibly made pregnant, the life given to you is divine and has a purpose aside from your own. Joseph was probably ill at ease that his supposed virgin wife was made pregnant buy another father before they were even married. I’m so glad he wasn’t about abortion.

Yes .There is life before birth and life after death.Soul is carried by body.Man is a soul having body.That is why we say we donot know from where we have come and where we are going?World is a passing phase.

God is pure love forgiving and kind. I believe that a soul will know it will be aborted Life is about learning and finding your own true spirit. Abortion is not killing. I also believe the soul is reborn again either with the mother or the father or someone else. The other side is pure love and grace. It is society that creates the guilt and shame on this women. they get over the abortion because God is powerful. But society choose to find fault. People need to look at them selves and there life before judging. Remember He who cast the first stone be with out sin. Our biggest lesson in life is learn to love ourselves and other and learn that God is in control and we our not. Making the choice to have an abortion is the hardest decision for almost any young lady or women to make. So we need to stop judging and learn to love, focus on your life with love and care. God bless!

No.  A person is an individual substance of a rational nature.  Pre-viability, the baby is still a being with a rational nature, just not able to use reason yet.

My children and all children. In a off-beat way it's like God is telling us that the world will keep turning, life will go on, and he has sent this child as a message for all of mankind to behold. It seems that He is saying, " Look upon this child and behold the purity, innocence, and beauty of creation". It is to bad that we grow up and choose other paths through life but God lets the world be reborn every spring through His miracle of birth and if you need proof of this, go look. Outside, a maternity ward, everywhere. The most precious person on this earth to me is my five year old granddaughter. To look into her eyes and see the wonderment and purity of her world is the best way for me to have a positive outlook on life( and believe me I really need that some days)!
