Many of us know God's teachings are wise. We know how His guidance is righteous. We know deep in our hearts His plan is right for us. Living by God's teachings will help us to avoid difficult situations. For example, when we engage in casual sex, it can have dire health and/or emotional consequences for us. It will affect not only our own lives, but the lives of others too. Help us to avoid hurting one another.
We should always keep in mind that God did create us to be sexual beings, and that is a good thing when used in the proper circumstances, such as when you are in a committed relationship. This is because our actions can result in the creation of a new life. It is a life that has both it's own unique DNA, and it's sex already determined at conception. The heart begins beating within 16 days of conception, which is often prior to the woman even realizing she's pregnant.
There are those that would prefer to use the term fetal tissue, instead of calling it a fetus or baby. This is understandable because most women are required to process and rationalize the thought or action of having an abortion as something other than ending the life of their own flesh and blood. They have to diminish or overlook the existence of it's own humanity, for them to be able to cope with and tolerate what should be intolerable. It takes guts to go through with an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy, especially if you don't have the spousal and/or family support. It takes guts to raise a child you know in advance may have health issues. It takes guts to raise a child that was conceived during a tramatic rape or incestual incident. Yet, those conditions are not the baby's fault.
Thus I believe the term human being should be used in debating this issue. Then it's humanity and subsequent rights would have to be recognized. There should be no disputing that fact that when you see what's been previously written concerning the unique and individual human DNA, the sex determined and the heartbeat detectable very early on, that this is a human being. Thus, since there is no scientific doubt that it's a human being, it's life should not be diminished, cheapened or cast aside. Life should be given respect in all its stages, even when it is conceived in less than desirable situations or when the thought of the future care of this human being would be a challenge.

The plain and simple, in your face truth is....
You cannot claim to be a Christian and also be pro choice. That is an oxymoron.
Psalm 139:13-14 tells us.... For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Ephesians 2:10 tells us.... For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
God has a plan for each and every one of us. However, as we recall the 38th anniversary since Roe v Wade was established, over 50 million lives have been snuffed out, because some feminists convinced others it should be their legal right to choose to abort their unborn child. They said it's just a piece of tissue to be removed and discarded. Their thinking was that it would be a quick "solution" to a physical "problem". But unfortunately for those who have chosen to go this "quick" route, it has haunted many of them emotionally and yes, even in some cases physically, for the rest of their lives. Some women have even lost their own lives in the process of this legal procedure. Many of these stories go unreported.
There is a better way.....God's way. Teaching sexual morality, responsibility, and respect for oneself is desperately needed. Our current media culture of music, movies and TV shows are showing just the opposite. It's cool to sleep around and "experiment". But they're playing around with the lives of others. The media doesn't always show the down side of having all this "fun". There can be difficult consequences in a variety of different ways. In reality, young people can be gullible and easily confused by these mixed messages, and they're being misled by our secular culture. We can remain silent no more.
A Prayer for the Unborn to the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary and Joseph I love you very much. I beg you to
shine Your love and hope upon the worried mother, so she
will spare the life of her unborn child that for now, may be
in danger of losing its chance for life, due to an abortion.
I will be their voice....
Let me live...
Let me walk into the sunshine...
Let me live...
To feel my mother's arms around me...
To feel my father's love surround me...
Let me live...
To be a part of God's creation...
Let me live...
