Question of the Day

Posted on 2007-02-27

I think this was a title of one of my earlier blogs but the danger in working by yourself for several hours straight is that you form a lot of questions in your mind (OK, at least I do).  I recently left a comment on Freshmaker's blog about abortion asking the question, "Where does it directly say in the Bible that abortion is wrong?"  I was asking him less than I was asking some of the people on here who are against abortion and I'm not sure a comment on someone else's post is the best place to leave that question.  I truly am not here to start a fight but a good debate is always fun.  Plus, my faith is important to me and I've been unable to find anything more direct than "Thou shalt not kill" (not addressing a clump of cells) and "You knew me when I was being knit together in my mother's womb" (saying nothing about those who stop the knitting).   In my opinion, it is humans who made the link between these two and made abortion the hot botton issue it is today.  I am not advocating abortion but I also see it as an agonizing decision NOT as a flagrant disregard for God and all He holds dear.  I also believe it has been proven that abortions have gone on since bibical times and if that is the case and if it is true that the Bible doesn't address it directly, I think that is extremely relevant.
