I think a child in the womb is a living being, but I think it becomes a living soul when it takes its first breath.

Abortions should be tried as murder.
Anyone performing the abortion should be convicted of murder. What would be done about the women who made the choice to abort her child,isn't she the one who is responsible for aborting the child and the doctor was just an avenue? I am not disagreeing,the doctor who performs these procedures should get the chair, but what part is the woman not guilty as well.
She is guilty, but she isn't the one that actually performs the abortion. It's like a man that hires a man to kill someone. The assassin is the one doing the killing, and usually the one that hires the killer is guilty of solicitation to commit murder. So it would be the same in cases of abortion if abortion were ever made to be illegal.

Stephen,this is not an attack on you. There seems to be discrepencies when a child is considered a life,among brethren. Maybe i am just not seeing it as others do.
Just remember this when you study this:

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. (Job 33:4 KJV)

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7 KJV)

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. (Genesis 6:17 KJV)

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. (Genesis 7:15 KJV)

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. (Genesis 7:21-24 KJV)
(funny, when I just read this now I was brought to remember that babies are litterally swimming in water while in the womb)

Don't get me wrong. I do believe it is a gross sin against God and humanity to abort a baby, but I try to remain as Biblical as I can when I take a stance on things.

Peace and Love,
Stephen
