Can someone be pro-choice and still consider themselves Christian? What does the Bible say in regard to being pro-life? The Author of Life
When Peter and John were witnessing to the Jews in what is called Solomon’s portico, Peter said “But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses” (Acts 3:14-15). Here Peter was saying that they chose a murderer over the “Author of life” and that of course was Jesus. The crowd was so compelled to take the Son of God’s life that they released a murderer and murdered by majority vote, Jesus Christ. They preferred a murderer over He Who gives life. What a travesty, right? Now, think about this. There are many Christians who prefer to be pro-choice, which is really pro-abortion, over being pro-life and taking the life of an innocent, unborn child. When does life begin? Is it at conception? Is it at the first trimester? What does the Bible say about this and when is a baby, embryo or fetus considered a human being? When Life Begins
Here are some Bible verses that clearly indicate that God considers someone to be alive and be a person, and in some cases even have a name and purpose, even before they’re actually born. These verses will prove that even before a child is conceived, they are, in the mind of God, a human being.
Psalm 139:13 “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.”

Rush Limbaugh is...as long as that choice is for life.
Pro-choice to do what?
I’m pro-choice. I support the right of people to choose to keep their pants on.
No.
Can Someone Be Christian and Pro Choice?
In a Word....NO!!!!!
Can someone be staunchly in favor of life, but not, you know, hard core and judgmental about it like those crazy fundies....?
Yes. Salvation has no bearing on whether you are ignorant. You are Saved by Grace, not intelligence.
But you are wrong. Dead wrong.
No !
Thou shalt not kill is not a suggestion...
Rape, incest is not an exception either...
Life of the mother would probably be the only qualifier for an abortion, but with today's medical advancement that is almost unheard of...
Sure.
One can be ‘trans-choice’ now.
Can someone be pro-life and vote dem?
“I’m totally pro-choice.” ~Donald Trump
“I believe in God. I am Christian. I think The Bible is certainly, it is THE book. It is the thing," ~Donald Trump
No, next question!
Look at actual pictures of abortions. The answer will become clear to you then.
Jeremiah 1:5Revised Standard Version (RSV)
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Yes I believe the author had that verse in his article. Funny I don’t think anyone here has gotten past the title.
A pro-abort who becomes a Christian may remain pro-choice for a time. However, I believe if he experienced a true conversion to Christ then the more he learns about what truly orthodox Christianity teaches and has taught for the past 2 millenia concerning this issue and the more he matures in the faith will result in his changing his position to pro-life.
A long time ago, while I was attending Cal State working on my Engineering Degree, I was required to take a Public Speaking course. One of the assignments was to make a speech before the class on some current subject. The speaker before me - a bearded man - spoke about the need for abortion.
I tore up the speech I prepared and when it came to my turn, I spoke against abortion, citing the definitions of what was human and what wasn't by the Nazis.
A young woman stood up during my speech and said "are you calling me a Nazi?".
I said "why would I call you a Nazi?".
She said "I've had three abortions".
I said "Then you're a Nazi. Shut up and sit down".
Oddly enough, even though it was a California school, I got an A.
Prize-winning answer. Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to type it myself :-)
