You cannot support life by claiming a fetus is a human life, then turn around and claim that some of them are not quite as human as others.

They are or they aren’t - and the only justification for laws prohibiting abortion is they are human lives.

Suppose a woman was raped, did not conceive, but the son of her rapist walked by her house every day on his way to school, causing her a great deal of mental anguish - is she justified in killing that son?

Emotion says the woman should not HAVE to carry the child, but emotion is what got us to this point in the first place. Let logic reign.

If i were talking to someone who confessed that he was conceived by rape, am I justified in killing him because of that? Is his mother, after he is born? Wouldn’t it be murder?

Should a niece of mine become pregnant by rape, I would hold her in my arms, tell her how sorry and angry I am for what happened, and then tell her that in this horrible situation, God has seen fit to bless her with a child and entrust her with one of His precious little lives.

Life is often ugly, sometimes VERY ugly. That ugliness is not justification for killing an innocent baby.

Emotion is sometimes a good view into spiritual realities, but one has to look at the foundation of the realities.

The idea that “I am mine” is as old as the fall in the Garden. And it isn’t even a true idea; the Serpent was behind this, remember? Believing in him got man there and keeps man there. Believing on God who now offers a superior promise to the false, fraudulent promise of the Serpent — that of forgiveness, cleansing, and salvation — pulls man away from this fallen condition.

It’s the “I am mine” that gets the emotions going in most modern women of this godless age. Those women view the ones who still carry a genuine Christian world view as odd, weird, suckers and losers.

Also this is a clue that to make headway in this, we need to make headway in quite another area first. That area is the gospel.
