Abortion: The very word makes me shudder and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Pictures of tiny, mangled, bloodied bodies fill my mind. Innocent babies killed, murdered by cruel hands. Hands that, usually, are given permission to kill, by the very woman who is carrying the babe in her womb. Abortion is one of the worst murders a human can commit, according to the word of God. Psalms 10:8 says, “He [the wicked man*] sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.” The secret place mentioned in that verse just happens to be the womb of a mother. Certainly a baby is innocent. And as the website, Rapture Ready, says, in an article about abortion, “No person who is fully aware of another’s total innocence normally kills that other human being. Even wild beasts such as like lions and tigers do not kill their own kind, but rather, they fight to defend and protect them. But, today, man has made himself even lower than brute beasts by slaying innocent unborn babies.”
* brackets mine.
Children are precious in God’s sight and are a God-given reward and gift. Rejecting a baby by abortion is not only wrong, it is throwing God’s reward and gift, from Him to us, back into His face. You are basically ungratefully spitting in His holy face, and telling Him that you do not want His reward and gift. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (psalms 127:3)
“But,” you may say,“ it’s simply a fetus. It can’t feel anything. It’s not alive.” No? From the moment of conception that fetus is a living baby. A baby is a human being and can feel pain. Nurse Brenda Shafer describes one baby’s reaction as it was being murdered by a partial birth abortion.
“... the baby’s body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. All the while his little head was stuck inside[*the uterus]. Dr. Haskell took a pair of scissors and stuck them into the back of the baby's head, and the baby's arms jerked out in a flinch, a startled reaction, like a baby does when he thinks he might fall...."
Don’t you tell me it isn’t excruciatingly painful for the innocent babies. I am sure the only reason that poor, helpless, oh, so feeble, little baby did not scream audibly, was because its tiny head was still in its mother’s womb.
Abortion is a thing of Hitler, who killed the weak, elderly, ill, and helpless.
He believed in survival of the fittest. He was also a man after the Devil’s own heart, and was a cruel, heartless brute and murderer. Why follow after his footsteps?!!!! We are called to defend and protect the helpless, and surely a baby is helpless. It cannot fight for itself. It depends on it’s mother, it’s mommy, to nurture, love, and protect it. A baby lovingly puts its trust in its mother. And yet everyday, 126,000 priceless babies are being killed, many with the permission of the baby’s mother; that’s 4000 babies a day, 167 babies an hour, 2.75 babies a minute, one baby ever 22 seconds. And that’s just the rate for legal abortions alone. Forty-six million innocent babies are killed every year by legal and illegal abortions.
Still not convinced? Well, O.K. Abortion goes against God’s command, “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” In other words, you shall not murder. Not only does abortion go against God’s commandment, it is an abomination to him. Proverbs 6:16-19 says, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Killing a helpless baby is shedding innocent blood. It is the murder of an innocent human being. It is wrong, because it is the murder of a human being who is created in God’s own image and that God knit together in the mother’s womb.(Psalms 139:13-16).
Of course, if you refuse to believe that the innocent blood in that verse refers to abortion, you’re probably still not convinced. How ‘bout this. Abortion does not always work and a baby is born into the world disfigured, maimed, and in pain. You call this barbaric act civilized!? You call this vulgar action pain free!? You call this crude savage act decent, proper, and appropriate, sometimes kind!!!!???
Little Tucker went through four different abortion attempts. By a miracle he survived all of them. But in the last attempt, when he was aborted in the seventh month of pregnancy, the abortion procedure ripped his tiny legs and most of his fingers from his body. He was adopted by a loving Christian family, and is very happy with them, but a lot of pain could have been spared, had his biological mother decided not to try and takes his precious life.
Abortion is shirking from responsibility, and is cowardly. No matter what the circumstances of the pregnancy are, it is your responsibility to take care of, nurture, and raise your baby. It is cowardly to murder the precious baby, just because you don’t feel obliged to take care of it, or don’t feel that you are ready to be a parent yet. Abortion is refusing to take responsibility for your actions and/or sin. Even if the pregnancy is because of rape or incest, you are not justified to commit the sin of murder. Do two wrongs make a right? I think not! The baby should not be punished for his father and/or mother’s sin. Murder is not the answer.
If you are still clinging to abortion and it’s barbaric methods, here’s one last try to convince you.
In Bible times, if anyone was to kill a baby in the womb he was to have the same penalty as a murderer.
“If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” (Exodus 21:22)
Obviously, God doesn’t want us to kill babies. If you STILL aren’t convinced though, try looking up these website’s. I will warn you though, the first one does have very graphic pictures.

Try studying these verses too.
"For thou has possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being un-perfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them"
(Psalm 139:13-16).
(Psalm 139:13-16).
"Whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me"
(Matt.18:5).
Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God
(Psalm 22:9-10).
This is what the LORD says—he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you...
(Isaiah 44:2)
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked
(Psalm 82:3-4).
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done? (Proverbs 24:11-12).
The word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...."
Jeremiah 1:4-5a
[The LORD said] "... do not put an innocent... person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.” Exodus 23:7
If you have committed the sin of abortion, Jesus is gracious and compassionate. He will lovingly forgive you, and will throw your sin at the bottom of the sea, if you go to Him with a humble, broken, and remorseful heart, and truly repent of your sin. He will gladly forgive you and engulf you in His arms of love. The Lord will forgive you and give you a new heart and life.
* “If you have already had an abortion, please do not feel that this was written only to bring you under guilt and condemnation. What is done is done and cannot be changed. God has your child in heaven with Him, and longs to forgive you, if you ask Him to. Once God forgives a sin, He literally forgets it, and DOES NOT HOLD IT AGAINST YOU ANY LONGER! Please do not hold against yourself what God has forgotten.“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I, even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.”(Isaiah 43:18 25). Receive His love, for He loves you just as much as the child you lost. He already took your sin and bore it upon Himself, so you would not have to bear the punishment, which would be eternal separation from Him. He knows the agony you've gone through better than any other, for He was there too, with you. Open your life to Him and let Him give you “a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of the spirit of despair.” He will make you into “an oak of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display his splendor.” (Isaiah 61:3).

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20
