The Abortion Matrix: Abortion in Biblical Perspective
http://forerunner.com/massacre/massacre.html
ABORTION IN BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
From genetics to ultrasound, fetoscopy to fetal surgery, modern science has granted us an unprecedented look into the development of a pre-born child. For example, only eight weeks after conception around the time many women find out theyre pregnant the babys heart which has already been beating for two weeks now has two chambers. Though less than an inch in length, she has started practicing movements, her face has begun to take shape, teeth have begun to develop, along with the legs, arms, feet, hands and eyes. Its obvious that the developing fetus is no mere “blob of tissue,” as the abortion industry would like us to believe, but rather a remarkably well-developed baby boy or girl.
Its no wonder that on the basis of the scientific evidence alone, many experts in the field will echo the opinion of renowned geneticist Dr. Jerome LeJeune:
Life has a long history but each individual has a very neat beginning: the moment of its conception.
(CLIP OF IN-UTERO VIDEO)
But while genetic and other medical evidence certainly support the idea that human life begins at conception, the Bible, the very word of God and not science is our ultimate source for Truth. And the scriptures make it very, very clear that human life begins and is sacred from the very moment of conception.
(Interview with Skip Moen)
In fact, its a fascinating though little known fact that one of the very names of God points to the sanctity of life from the time it begins in the womb.
(The Bible)
In the 34th chapter of Exodus Moses appears before the LORD and intercedes on behalf of His people, asking God to reveal His glory. Part of the LORDs response was to reveal to Moses the divine Name as well as key aspect of His nature:
The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious. Exodus 34: 5
George Grant: The Hebrew word that we translate here as merciful – rachuwm has as its root racham meaning to love or have compassion. That word also serves as the root for rechem the word that is used in the Hebrew Scriptures for womb for example in the famous passage describing Gods foreknowledge of Jeremiah and the manner in which he was lovingly knit together inside his mother:
Before I formed you in the womb (in the rechem) I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you. Jeremiah 1:5
The womb then, in its original Hebrew context, was not only the matrix, the sacred place where a new human, an image-bearer of God was conceived, formed, nurtured and then born, it also was and should be treated as a place of mercy.

Jesus declared in Matthew 5:7, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. But the converse must also be true. When people, for their own convenience, send their swords into that place of life and mercy, defiling the sanctuary of the rechem – the womb – they would do well to consider Christ’s sober warning concerning the wages earned by those who use violence to accomplish their own ends:
Those who live by the sword, shall die by the sword. Matthew 26:52

This is still a …
This is still a womens decision. Please forgive me on this. Its a personal i view, (I have been a victim of male sexual absuse but on Gods side that its a life.) On a humanist approach I think that women abort because of fear, and what they see happenning in the world. What men do even while married (aka Tiger, Clinton) and I think this affects them. I personally think they should have protected themselves before, we so need God in our lives. God hates fornication in any event.
You are male! I …
You are male! I find it offensive your statement ‘girls like to have sex like its going out of style’ both sexes are to blame here. I live in male dominated Asia and understand why some women choose abortion. Its a big subject and a senstive one. Not so black and white as you state. Some men turn horrible when they find out youre pregnant. As if i in turn might say therefore, they like to have the fun without the responsibility! We all need Godx and he is a God of second chance! selfishness

If The Faith of a mustard seed can move mountains, Then The Spirit of God Can save the Earth John14 is Truth. Second JOHN is Truth, ask John 14:26. If you want to stop Thousands of abortion Tomorow, Ask the Mother to give Her child to the alter of John14:26. Molechs incinerators will have less fule. The Child may grow be smarter than Nicodemus. Shalom child to tell others about John 14:

Mary had not yet conceived. The power of God had not overshadowed her when she was visited by Gabriel. She said she wished it to be as Gabriel said – and THEN she conceived. God did not rape Mary. He recognized her worth by seeking her permission to fufill his greatest work.
Scripture points …
Scripture points out that the quality of life can be more important than life:
“If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things, and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, `Better the miscarriage than he, for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he.’”
Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

Job reiterates the greater grace he would have known if his life had been terminated as a fetus:
“Why then hast Thou brought me out of the womb? Would that I had died and no eye had seen me! I should have been as though I had not been, carried from womb to tomb.”
Job 10:18-19

People if you’re going to type , type something smart or dont type at all!

MsLiberty4All . are you brain dead? mary said let it be done unto me , because she trully had no choice , because the angel had already told her , she had been chosen and favoured , thus , when the angel came to Zachariah , when he objected to the angel , he shut him up until John was born , thus , Elizabeth his wife had no choice either , the fact that girls like to have sex like its going out of style , does not give them the right to kill life , nor does it mean a second chance! selfishness

Did Mary have a choice in whether to become pregnant with Jesus?
Yes, she did have a choice—she said “May it be done unto me according to your word”

They justify it by comparing their actions to doing what soldiers would do.
The abortionist …
The abortionist said, “The whole purpose of abortion is to kill the child”. Of course they know it is alive. If it weren’t they wouldn’t have a legal right to kill. Pro-choice people are in full support of this demonic act.
God wanted man and …
God wanted man and woman to love one another, not to just use each other for sex and then kill their children so they don’t have to grow up and be adults. This denies humanity, even animals are not so base as to kill their own children. Abortion and the that leads to it, are immoral and evil.

Wow. This is going to be so good when it comes out.
