Determinism.....

Arguing abortion with a Christian is like trying to teach a cat how to bark. Most of them consider a baby a person from the moment of conception basing themselves on this verse of scripture and others like it:

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God knows each and every one of us from before we were even formed.

Job 1:21
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

After losing his 8 children which God gave him and everything he owned Job praised God and was blessed. In other words god decides who lives or dies. According to some of the teachings of the bible we are all predestined to live or be aborted or murdered by crack headed parents etc. But like Saerules I'd rather avoid this subject altogether because it is a literal merry go round that can be argued and disputed infinitely and come to no conclusion.
