My Stand on Abortion

[HankD]

You have no Biblical reason to state that Jesus Christ didn't love the Pharisees. If he could love you and me, HE could love a Pharisee.

True but that I would say depends upon the pharisee.

Remember Paul was a pharisee.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs at a rate of 19.7 cases per 1,000 pregnancies in North America and is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester.

Illinois Republican Rep. Joe Walsh falsely claimed that there wasn’t “one instance” where an abortion would be necessary to save the mother’s life. But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said that more than 600 women die each year due to complications from pregnancy and childbirth, and more would die if they didn’t have access to abortion. After that, Walsh quickly backed down.

A friend of mine died from hemorrhaging after birth. Yes, her life would have been saved had she had an abortion but no one had any idea that this would happen. In these 600 cases, how many were due to the fact that they directly did not have an abortion or that they knew that they would die had they made the decision to carry the child to term?

I would bet any amount of money, the number of women who would die from not having an abortion - going and purposefully murdering the child so that they could live - would be less than what I could count on my fingers and toes each year. Every OB that I have spoken to has never experienced a situation where an abortion was necessary to save the mother's life but a number have had to prematurely deliver a live child to save both lives.
