One thing that surprised me when I moved here was finding that abortion was still a hot button issue down here. I don't remember pastor Mitchell making abortion a big deal for years. Abortion was not a big political issue in Arizona for years. So when I found people getting all wound up over it here it surprised me.
People are sinners by nature, not by what they do or do not do. Salvation is not to make us politically conservative. Salvation is to make us brand new and to make us right with God. The work of God is to believe in Jesus Christ, not to defend the unborn.
So I do not get upset over abortion. Why do you? There are worse things that a person can do than to terminate the life of a human fetus.
Some take Genesis 2:7 to mean that people are not fully human until they breathe.
"And the Lord God formed the man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
Man was fully formed, but not yet a living being. A fetus is a human fetus, like a seed, with all of the potential of a life not yet lived, but is not fully alive until it exits the womb and breathes. This line of doctrine has satisfied me for a long time.
So this is all that I will say about abortion. It is a non-issue to me.
