According to what you just said this does not please God and it would not matter to God if she had the Abortion

Why on earth should God care just because someone fails to do ONE sin? There is NOTHING that pleases God except perfection-and that perfection is found only in His Son. If you doubt me just ask Adam who one little indiscretion was enough to cast his entire ancestors into the flaming torments of hell for all eternity. Do you honestly believe that living a "good" life will save you? Is there anywhere in scripture that states,

Choosing life(no Abortion) is perfection ,so is giving up our life(john 15:13) to "lay down one's life for one's friends "an act of perfection .

Er, Adam was the first human. He didn't have "ancestors," Harley. :)

You do realize that to speak of "pleasing" God is an anthormorphic and metaphorical way of speaking of God?

To hear one speak so "authoritatively" of what pleases or doesn't please God does make me uneasy -- it seems to claim knowing more about the mind of God than any creature can claim.

Why on earth should God care just because someone fails to do ONE sin?

Ah, the image of God as the busy executive who can't bother Himself with detail! ;-)

Does the parable of the one lost sheep ring a bell?
