For the moment I am leaving this here because the op is pro-life for themselves but because they are essentially pro-choice I may have to move it if I'm asked.

Can only pro-lifers respond please or look on the pro-choice forum for the same thread.

Thank you.

This user is pro choice you only need to check out the username to see that.

Yes but they state they are pro-life for themselves and I know another user 'who must not be named' who used to post here with the same beliefs.

unfortunalty not everyone who believe in Christ is pro life, however abortion is clearly recognised as abhorant in the bible, one must at least be pro life for themselves to be christian, I must state and state emphatically that we must encourage people to do what is right in the eyes of God otherwise we sin by ommision, therefore we must respect the free will of others but still be pro life for others, by encouraging them to choose life... if you understand what I mean.

christians nah not at all, catholics are supposed to be though.

So are we as christians to turn a blind eye when an evil is done?
What about alcoholism or drug use? Is that your argument to that.
Its their free will. Let them do it.
Lets see what the bible says.

2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the Word ; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction."

We are to judge sin. And point out sin in one's life. This is not judgeing or condemning the sinner.

You are confused.

God did not give us free will to decide whats best for us.
He gave us his word to be our guide. Gave us free will so we can freely choose him. It doesnt mean you can do what you want and have eternal life.
What bible are you reading? Or dont you read it?

Taking on board what milletics said, again we are as christians to walk in love for humanity, is it loving to see a woman about to walk off the cliff and do nothing, is it so wrong, so uncaring, so callus for me to reach out to her, to inform her of what is about to occur both physically and spiritually if she decides to walk off the cliff?

I can not stop her, she has her own free will, but I have a duty to God and to the woman to help her in any way I can, including informing her of the physical and spiritual repercusions of her choice.

As someone who has had to make the choice, i just want to say it was a hard desision . It was wrong of me to have sex in the first place as a christian, and no-one had the right to tell me what to do when i had to decide. I decided to keep the baby, knowing that gods grace is sufficient enough for me, and that he has a purpose for every life.
I think everyone sins, christian or not, and just because some are hidden others are not makes no difference to god. through my experience, i have grown so much in God, and i understand my need for jesus more....thats all really. im calling my child Zion, which means Gods promise. xxxxxx ps as a christian, i think we need to be alot less judgmental and more commited to helping out sinners, as we all fall short.

abortion is homicide!1 a week old baby is still a baby and still has a soul and if its your mistake dont punish a baby and if u dont want it you can put it up for adoption. how selfish can ppl be cmon now womens bodies were made to have children if you dont want kids, then dont make love, or at least use birth control

That is an illogical argument.

A woman's body was made to have children. Therefore she musn't have an abortion because it thwarts her purpose of having children.

Instead, she should use birth control which attempts to thwart her from conceiving children and if it doesn't prevent conception it prevents implantation (meaning it is a de facto abortifacient). Therefore she can avoid the purpose of having children by one means of sterility or abortion over another.

Further, this argument would mean that those women who were unable to have children for whatever reason would be rendered useless as their entire purpose is to have children. Instead of defending the child's life, this argument reduces the woman to nothing more than a tool, it objectifies her, and demoralizes her.

Instead, I would argue to a Christian (as the OP is) that all people are made in the image and likeness of God and therefore their life has inherent worth and unalienable rights from the moment of conception to that of natural death. While some people will choose to violate this moral obligation--as some choose to steal, lie, rape, or kill--they do not have a right to inflict this harm on others and we have a Christian obligation to defend the rights of those unable to defend themselves.

We cannot force others to make moral or ethical choices, especially through immoral or unethical means (such as bombing abortion clinics or stealing their property). That doesn't mean that we are to abdicate our responsibility of morally and ethically defending life in every age and place through moral relativism and platitudes about abortion being wrong for me but right for you. We have a clear commitment to proclaiming Truth, Life, Love, and Faith, even when it isn't the popular thing to do.

what i think is everyone lives there own lives, and if they want to make that choice it is between them and God only, ultimately as they say, "only God can judge me"

I agree that Christians should not be forcing their beliefs upon anyone, but they themselves should stand for what Christ stands for in this fallen world. And abortion/homicide is not something that the Lord would approve of whether you are Christian or not.
