Biblical Arguments for Abortion

Biblical Arguments For Abortion: Why It Should Be Legal is a short treatise that discusses the highly and often dangerous issue of abortion here in America from a biblical, legal, scientific as well as common sense standpoint covering many aspects of one of the hottest issues in the country. Irrespective of one's personal opinion on the subject though abortion is a reality we all must deal with and one that's here to stay (for now at least) and has resulted in nothing less than a Vietnam-scale level of media publicity, public debate, protests, riots and in some cases horrific acts of violence that not only claimed the lives of numerous innocent people but ones that seem totally counterproductive to the supposed goals of the anti-abortion movement, this irony strangely and sadly being lost on the perpetrators. Ironically though while Christians today use the religious decree "Thou shalt not kill." (Exodus 20:13) to affirm their position against abortion and fanatical support for the "pro-life" cause they seem to have absolutely no compunction about taking life, in some cases on an enormous scale in a myriad of other manners, the ideology of not killing suddenly taking a nose dive out of the nearest window. Moreover, while Christians continually pound the anti-abortion drum the bible nevertheless remains chock-full of text clearly depicting pregnant women being killed along with their offspring, the Christian community suddenly and mysteriously falling silent on such matters. This said, my intention here is not to incite controversy over the already issue of abortion but to rather point out many of the highly dubious aspects surrounding this issue and how I truly believe that people on all sides of the debate would vastly by simply taking the high road of objectivity just once when considering the issue of abortion. To end, do I expect such material as this to bring about a cessation in the war called abortion? What planet are you living on? My purpose being, contrary to popular belief being dedicated to enlightening people concerning this topic rather than infuria?ting an already cantankerous job.
