I Study Biotechnology , so i know some stuff about embryons.
I am against abortion because it is considered murder, and since the baby has no choice, but to have a parasitical relationship to the mother until it is born, the baby could be considered sort of an Hostage to the mother. So not only she is killing a baby, she is also killing a hostage on life support.
Anyway.
The moment a Blastocyst is formed, it is just a multicelular "egg" or capsule . A Blastocyst is a mass of cells composed of 2 layers, a inner mass of stem cells, and a outer mass of cells that will transform into the placenta later.
A Blastocys is not a embryo yet, it is still a mass of stem cells, which are cells that have no specific function yet. The Blastocyst will have to go trough a brief stage of growth so the Embryo can be formed from 3 types of Stem Cells that will originate 3 base types of tissues.
During this stage, i cannot consider this to be murder, because it is not yet an human being. It HAS the potential of becoming one, but it is still a ball of cells.
HOWEVER, once the blastocyst transforms into a embryo , which happens 4 weeks if not mistaken ( I can be, because i dont know the numbers by head), it is already considered a human creature, and it is a human creature in a "Hostage" relationship with the mother. Anything that enters the mother will also be absorbed into the child. So, by definition of MURDER, if the embryo stops living (which is already living, has a circualtory system already,etc), then it is dead. Now it can be considered murder if it was intentional ofcourse. There are many abortions that happen by accident, like falling ,etc.
Now the best way to not abort is not getting pregnant, simply.
And in case of rape, just have the baby and give it up to adoption, simple.
The Lord commanded : You Shall Not Kill. So , if you do an abortion , the best thing you can do is confess, and repent , because if you don't, you know where you are going.
