I have read your response a few times and I am still not sure what you are implying as it related to the Lord? In nature animals often kill each other and sometimes even eat their young. But if we were just like animals, then there would be absolutely no point to life here on earth.
Does God care and have a purpose for every child that He knit into the mother's womb as the scripture says repeatedly ? Or does He create and then just go away and Has absolutely no concern or care on whether they live or die ? I believe from many different scripture passages that God does care about each of us. I believe a person who has the worst beginnings can still have choices to live a very fulfilling and meaningful life if given a chance at life.
I believe that we are here on Earth for a very important reason that will have eternal consequences. We are here to make a choice for or against Jesus Christ. We are not God and should not determine who lives as if life a new life were our personal property. We cannot determine who dies based on our circumstances at a particular point in time. Some reasons that a person decides to abort ( poverty, no husband, etc) are situations that could also easily happen after the child is born.
Babies get adopted. Look at the number of people adopting babies overseas because they do not want to wait 5 yrs to get one here in the US. The children in foster care are mainly there because their parents didn't give permission to adopt, broke the law and became incarcerated or became addicted to drugs or alcohol. So a child is then not available for adoption until a minimum of 2 years goes by of the parent not doing any of the things they need to do. Many of the parents do the bare minimum here and there, just to drag out the system because they can.
So as much as all of nature has the same creator, humans were created for the purpose to glorify God in choosing Jesus Christ and an eternity with Him, over choosing the world's selfish ways of acting like this life on earth is all there is, so get as much as you want and climb over as many people as you need to.
If there is no eternity with Jesus Christ as He promised, then this life on earth is utterly pointless and choosing evil has no consequences at all.
You look at the issue only through 'goggles' given to you by your chosen religion. I have no problem with you looking at it that way as long as you don't assume the right to impose that view onto everyone regardless of whether they share your religion or not. If you become pregnant I completely support your choice to not have an abortion.
However, if one makes laws which are to govern people of any religion or no religion at all, one can look to how the natural life on the planet functions for guidance. We can look at how humans have functioned throughout recorded and archaeological history.
Everywhere we look things don't become something until they are finished being made. Bees make a hive but until it is completed, it isn't their home. Seeds are not the plant until they have grown into the plant. Beavers don't have a home until it is built.
When we look at the natural world, regardless of how we believe the natural world came into existence...be it by God or a Big Bang, it appears that nothing becomes something else until the construction is finished.
Using this understanding of the natural world, it becomes obvious that a pregnancy is a construction process. And would mean until the construction is finished, it is NOT yet what the construction process is making.
That means ending that construction process is not the same as destroying the finished product.
In America, per the Constitution, laws are not permitted which favors one religion over another. That means any justification for a law based on one's personal religion is wrong. When we exclude religion from the abortion process, we find there is absolutely no reason to consider the current abortion laws as being wrong.
