God’s Story: From Creation to Eternity


Use our convenient Bible.

• The deformed or handicapped child — Is it better for them never to be born?

• Population control — Isn’t abortion justified since the world is overpopulated, or in the case where a baby could bring a financial and emotional burden to a family?

• The unwanted child — Is abortion justifiable in such a case? Doesn’t unwantedness lead to child abuse?

• Rape or incest — Would abortion be permissible if a woman gets pregnant through such a horrible circumstance as this?

• Only for the select few? — Shouldn’t abortion remain legal because of the unfairness that might otherwise result if abortions were affordable only by the rich who could travel abroad?

• Safety of abortions — What about those “back alley” surgeries? Aren’t they a good reason to always keep abortions legal?

• Since abortion will happen despite the legal status, shouldn’t we make them safe and legal?

• Gills, tail, yolk sac… — Doesn’t the human fetus temporarily develop such reptile-like features in utero?

Religion

• Is life-at-conception a “religious belief”?

• Aren’t pro-lifers trying to impose morality?

• What does the Bible teach about abortion? Pro-life or pro-choice?

• All of my friends are pro-choice. When I bring religion into the argument they disregard me. They are all atheists. How can I get through to them that the abortion issue is black and white? Murder is murder.

Contraception

• Can birth control pills kill unborn babies?
