Many pro-lifers reference Psalm 139:13-16 (I'll just quote the first verse for brevity).Matt wrote:Why are church people so against abortion when, the bible clearly states that life is given at first breath? Fetuses don't breathe.
Not all pro-lifers support killing abortion doctors, nor do they all advocate violence against clinics. Many of us just believe in the sanctity of life and are deeply saddened by anyone who would choose to take the life of the most vulnerable.For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13 NIV
I don't want to turn this into a long discussion about voting patterns or war or murder - this thread doesn't seem to be the appropriate place. I just wanted to address your question about why "church people" are against abortion.
