I believe that unborn babies are human beings from the moment of conception. That is why I am against abortion. I value human life- even the lives of unborn babies. I also understand that there are some extenuating circumstances such as the mothers health, rape, etc, and it is not my place to speak on those issues; they are very tough, though theologically I still believe that those babies have a right to life. Back to my point- killing a child is not something I take lightly. I hope I would obey God, no matter what He commands, but it would be very difficult.Do you mind if I take this a step further? Is your idea of conception, and therefore human life, the moment that sperm penetrates egg and a zygote is formed? Or is it when the fertilized egg actually implants? Or is it a some time frame further down the line?
Next, do you consider abortion to be on the same level as homicide?
Edit: Maybe you could start a new thread outside of introductions. Or a couple of new threads.
When sperm meets egg and a whole new brand of human DNA is formed and begins to multiply. That's a new human being right there at the moment of conception.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
