"Support" seems like a tricky term. Do I "support" abortion in the case where the mother was raped? No. Would I advocate denying a woman an abortion, had she been raped? No. I cannot in good conscience make such decisions for others. The issue is much more complicated than most people on either side are willing to admit.
What we do know is that injuring a woman such that she miscarries is not murder, it's property damage. The Bible is quite clear on this. What the implications are is another question.

Personally, I think that if the life of the mother were in danger, then abortion should be allowed. But I really think it should be up to the mother to make that judgement and no one else, unless of course there is a 100% chance that both the mother and the baby will die. It would be suicide to continue that pregnancy--an even worser sin. It is better to lose one life than to lose them both.

anabelle , you are very arrogant, GOD said THou shalt not murder , you can call it what you want it is still murder and every one who has had an abortion will answer to GOD!

Wait, you're saying you know absolutely for sure what is or isn't murder, no matter how complicated the circumstances, but you're calling someone *ELSE* arrogant?
The Bible doesn't really talk about "abortion". It does, however, say that those who judge will answer to God for it. (Me, in this case, included.)

I think the mother ought to listen to the advice of a competent medical professional; for instance, in the case of an ectopic pregnancy, a woman who doesn't know what it is is hardly qualified to make an informed decision without a lot of advice.

I base my opinon on the fact that that very fisrt cell that forms is a cell of a human being it is growing into a living breathing human being and when you stop that living life cycle , that is murder.

I'll answer to God and not to ignorant fools such as yourself.

Sure, but that's not what the Bible says, so why should I care what you think? About 40% of those first cells spontaneously abort. Why no tombstones for them? Why no mourning? Because the heart knows what your rationalization doesn't - those aren't "people" yet, to our moral senses.
