Have you actually read the Genesis passage you quoted? Can you show us where it says Adam came to life when HE first took a breath? Spoiler: it doesn’t say that.
There absolutely is a reason why a raped teenage girl should be forced to stay pregnant for nine months. It is because the life that is growing inside her is not hers to take. She can freely choose to give up her parental rights and give the baby up for adoption.
If you read what I wrote, I was asking questions and I never stated as fact when a person gets a soul, only questioning is there a time that one doesn't have one. I do not think using Genesis 2:7 as a reason is accurate since Adam and Eve had a unique creation experience as compared to the rest of mankind. But that being said, I cannot imagine that much time went by from the forming to the breathing into his nostrils. Also regarding what was stated about St Augustine, I am not at all comfortable making any assumptions about God's view of man deciding to destroy one of his children especially when God states in Jeremiah 1:5 that He knew us before He formed us in the womb and in Psalms that He (God) knit us together in our mother's womb. God blesses those who trust in Him.
I agree. Either God is the author and creator of all life, or He isn't. I fear the Lord with a high respect and cannot fear what man thinks of me in all of this. At a sad point in history half of the country thought it was ok to own slaves too. Here again we think we can own a person as property, but this time nobody survives.
As someone horribly sexually abused as a child, I certainly do feel for the rape victim. I would imagine a rape victim would get a morning after pill to help ensure that a baby was not conceived. But getting an abortion after a heartbeat is creating another act of violence onto her body that could have many more emotional and physical problems for her. The unborn future adult has a unique DNA and fingerprint. If it were a part of her body he or she would have identical DNA. She is a temporary caregiver. The baby, not the mother, decides the timing of what day he or she will be born. Prevention should be the focus. For so many that now think it is criminal to bring children into the world, or are simply terrified to carry a child in their womb, they do have the choice over their own bodies to get a tubal ligation and men to get a vasectomy.
You are correct about medical procedures not being full proof. There are abortions that also do not work the way they are supposed to and women have died and in other cases some babies are born alive.

You know I was done with this topic. Let me be real with you man. If my daughter is raped and she wants an abortion I would support. And I would track down the rapist and make the guy could never make a child again. I pointed at a case of an 11 year old girl being raped in Ohio...now could she carry to term maybe but there is a good possibility there will be complications. You know it is that attitude...it is why I do not go to church anymore. I am a Christian...but I can stand judgmental bigots who act like they know it all. The bible does not make issue on abortion. So your belief is not a religious law...it is A PERSONAL MORAL OPINION AND KNOW ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE THERE OPINION OR BELIEFS ONTO ANOTHER!!! I mean I swear it is Muslims and Christians that do this is it why Christians and Muslims are the two most hated groups in the world.
The Bible, however, does take issue with the killing of innocent people. The unborn, unwanted child is a victim too. Why do you think killing them is an acceptable choice?
Is the 11 year old child having an abortion because she was raped, or because of the health complications as a result of becoming pregnant at a young age?
It absolutely does say that the life in the womb is as precious as any other human life. There were also laws punishing anyone who caused harm to the life in the womb. Therefore, you can say what you want, if a man rapes a child, I could castrate the man myself. But unless the life of the mother is at stake or the unborn has already received a death sentence due to defects, abortion is unbiblical. I started a thread on this topic a few months back. Perhaps you may be able to provide an answer that no pro-infanticide Christian has been able to provide.
But it’s ok for pro-choicers to force their opinions on pro-life voters?
