Can people who disagree on abortion stop attacking each other?

It's against the rules of this site to suggest that a person is not a Christian if they have said they are a Christian.
I didn't say they are not a Christian. I said I understand why people question it. That people in fact question it is something this person has said themselves in this thread. This explains, why. Not because they are pro-choice, but because they deny fundamental Biblical truths.

Only Adam and Eve were made in the image of God? You said before that people questioned whether you are actually a Christian because of this topic. This would explain why. This is heresy.

Except for Jesus, only Adam and Eve were made biologically perfect.

No, that is a fact. The definition of baby has always been a BORN human being less than one year old.
That might be a fact to you or someone who's pro abortion, but it isn't to me. What is the Christian basis for this belief?

A fact is true information for everyone, not opinionated in any way. You want to make facts opinions, which is obviously impossible.

If you think that you can define yourself into victory you aren't approaching this conversation in the sort of good faith you wanted in your original post. Is there a Christian basis for thinking that a baby ten minutes before birth can be aborted and a baby ten minutes before birth is a sacred human being worthy of some protections in society?

It's asking if humans were made in the image of God. Don't sidestep it.

The first two humans were, yes. But if every human is made in the image of God, all of us would be perfect because Jesus is perfect.

There is no such thing as an unborn baby.

Social protections are based on whether a human being is born or not. That is a fact, not my opinion.

At no time did I ever remotely suggest any fetus in the woman's birth canal should be aborted. In fact, I have stated many times that should never happen.

Being made in God's image has nothing to do with being perfect. How do you explain James 3:9? It's clearly not talking about Adam, Eve and Jesus.

What if the baby ten minutes before birth isn't in the birth canal but still in the womb? It can be aborted then without any guilt right?

I agree that no one should be name-calling and the subject of abortion is a difficult one to address. The way I personally see it, is many will argue abortion is OK and the woman has a right to choose, but no one likes it when they're held accountable. Often people will argue rape as a reason, but the percentage of pregnancy that results from rape is actually quite small. The vast majority of abortions stem from unwanted pregnancy that results from consensual, unprotected sex. So why are people not held accountable for the choice to skip protection? The truth is, only God has the right to give life and to take it away. No one else has that "right". A fetus in the womb is a soul created by God for his purposes. At the end, God judges us all by everything we do and don't do on this earth. Taking a life will be one of them, whether a fetus in the womb or a fully grown human being, the "life" taken is the same.

Thankfully, we have Christ, who died for the sins of the world, including every woman who has ever aborted a baby. Once we accept his sacrifice for our sins on the cross, and put our hope and trust in only him, we are forgiven and washed clean of those sins, for which we no longer have to face his judgement. There are many who are unable or unwilling to recognise the sovereignty and deity of God almighty, and seem to think he's all about loving us, whether or not we truly repent and humble ourselves and submit to his will or not.

Everyone knows abortion is not murdering babies.

If you want to get mad at people for supporting infanticide, talk to those who actually do it. Nobody wants doctors to kill babies.
So what's your take on late term abortion? Do you know there is no limit any more? A doctor can remove a fetus and if the abortion didn't kill it, they leave it on the operating table to die. This stuff is for real and happens across the U.S. ... perhaps more people need to open their eyes to the truth of what's really going on in the world right now.

And what is the percentage of married women who abort pregnancies within the confines of marriage with their husband as compared to unmarried women who abort after having consensual, casual sex with strangers? You are talking about God creating marriage, which includes procreation, but you deny he has the right over who lives and who dies before us? Makes no sense.

Then what would be wrong with aborting it ten minutes before birth?

How can you say "before birth" is an aborted fetus is not born?

To answer your question, I have always opposed aborting viable fetuses except to save the mother's life.
