There is no law supporting abortion. Abortion is murder. Murder is against local law. So by supporting abortion, you are going against local law.
About 4 percent take place in hospitals.The medical procedures they are use are not "abortions." Abortions are done in abortion clinics. In hospitals a pregnancy is terminated, but not all "terminations" result in dead babies. And in the case of medical necessities, terminating a pregnancy is not considered, in the medical field, to be an abortion. For example an ectopic pregnancy, which is hazardous to the mother, is terminated by removing the fallopian tube. That is not an abortion.
An abortion has ONE purpose. It's purpose is to murder the baby. Murder is against the law. But calling "abortion" removes that moral stigma attached to murder. It treats the baby as a non-human entity that is removed like it is a tumor.
No one goes to an abortion clinic to save the mother's life. Abortions at a clinic are convenience abortions. They are there because the woman got pregnant, and abortion is seen as a form of birth control. It is for convenience purposes only.
If a pregnancy is truly hazardous to the mother, it can be terminated medically and in some cases, both lives can be saved, but this only done in hospitals. No respectable doctor performs "abortions."
Data mining scripture is rarely useful unless basic hermetical principles are applied. These principles are:That's only of value if you read them and follow the detailed instructions on how and when to do it.
Why can we then not eliminate murder altogether and legalize all and any killing of human life?Murder is against the law. Abortions are not illegal or murder.

Apparently, John the Baptist was in violation of God's will then. Do you think John then deserved his beheading? Furthermore, how then do you expect to share the Gospel. A very important part of the Gospel is exposing the sin in people's lives and showing them their need for a savior. If you cannot tell them they need saving, why would they think they need a savior?That's only of value if you read them and follow the detailed instructions on how and when to do it.
It is limited to fellow church members, then you confront them face to face, then with elder supervision, and always gently and in humility. Rarely unsupervised.
Biblical reference please.That's only for you, and not others.

That is not the question I asked. Where in the Bible does it say that sin is relative to the feelings and opinions of the individual?Judging yourself is hard enough.
Forget about having the brains for judging others.

So legalizing all and any killing of human life would eliminate murder? I am not sure what you are saying with this scripture. Because I asked if all killing was legalized, would that eliminate murder (based on your definition of murder)? So please explain how this scripture answers the question. Also, I thought we talked about data mining scripture to cherry pick verses out of context.Jeremiah 31:31-34
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Did you read the verses you looked up? Many of them provide specific actions that are considered sinful. Some provide a long list! Not one verse says that it is only sin if you decide it. Sin is anything that goes against God will or purpose. Sin is anything that separates you from Him. God alone determines and decides what is sin and what isnt. No you. Otherwise, a psychopath would not be sinning when they murder an innocent child because they are incapable of feeling remorse or guilt. Again, sin is an affront to God alone. Which is why only God can forgive sins. God tells us what is sin through His word, aka the Bible. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin after it is exposed by the word. Scripture is explicitly clear that that murder is sin and that life in the womb is precious and as valuable as any other human life. Thus, abortion is a sin, the sin of murder.In passages about sin. No more me cherry picking scripture for you.

What do you base this belief on? It's certainly not anything scientific or Biblical.The fetus is a potential human life, not an actual life yet.
Why can we then not eliminate murder altogether and legalize all and any killing of human life?

Biblically speaking, there is no discrimination against human beings based upon their age or level of development. Scripture speaks of all human beings as possessing inherent moral worth and value. All human beings are created in the image of God.
Scientifically speaking, we know that a new and unique human being comes into existence at fertilization. Human development takes roughly 25 years, beginning at fertilization. Yet, at no point during our development are we not a human being.
So why are you discriminating against human beings based upon their age and level of development?
