Abortion is an issue only because our society has abandoned Gods Word. God would rather nip this problem in the bud before any abortion could take place. Deuteronomy 22:13-21 says if a husband marries a girl and finds her not to be a virgin, then she is to be stoned to death. Notice the girl is to be killed without a concern of whether she might be pregnant. God doesnt want that selfish man stuck raising a baby which wasnt his! The bible god's answer is to kill both the girl and the baby

... wow.
.......just wow.
That is right, as well as a woman that was raped within a city has to be stoned together with hr rapist.
God doesn´t want men to possess "damaged goods".
If one wants to argue that christian fundamentalism doesn´t have a place in a modern society that values gender equality (and is against slavery), one just have to look into the old testament to find lots of arguments. ;)
1. The Bible is outdated and the bloodiest book ever written.
2. Women do not only get abortions because they became pregnant by a man other than their husband. Besides which, if God doesn't want a man raising a child that isn't his, a woman with children could never remarry, nor could people adopt. Thirdly, you said the man was selfish. Why give in to a selfish person's needs?
3. i) If a woman gets pregnant before the age of fifteen, she can suffer serious health effects. She can even die in childbirth, if not before during the pregnancy. Why kill the woman and the baby when you only have to kill one? It would be better for the mother to abort the pregnancy, so that she can go on to have more children later.
ii)Sometimes, a child is born with a serious genetic illness. We all know that. Sometimes, these genetic abnormalities either kill the baby or make life painful/difficult/not worth living. With the technology we have nowadays, we can spot these syndroms earlier, and end a child's suffering before they have to live through it.
"...bud..."
"...stoned..."
Enough said.
Notice that this is the 21st Century. We are better than this, sarahbarry. We have learned, after all these centuries, to be better than your immature and ignorant deity.
[God doesnt want that selfish man stuck raising a baby which wasnt his!]
How is raising a baby that isnt yours selfish?
Many men raise children that are not theirs. It's called responsability.
Firstly, abortion is not even MENTIONED in the bible.
Secondly "christian", why do you quote the OT and totally ignore the NT.
Thirdly, your place in this world is facing a firing squad, and I hope they use dum-dum's and you take hours to die in agony.
This is a clear example how the fundies cherry pick their Bible. According to their literal interpretation, the world was created in six, 24-hour days, there was a water canopy over the Earth and geocentrism is true. Yet, when there's a clear command like stoning a young girl who's already been wtih a man, they get all wishy-washy and metaphorical. Would society allow for this today? Of course not, they'd be in jail.
"Eden: That is right, as well as a woman that was raped within a city has to be stoned together with hr rapist.
God doesn´t want men to possess "damaged goods". "
This sounds more like a method of keeping rape victims from saying anything about what happened than anything else.
Oh, and OP sounds like a troll to me.
"God doesnt want that selfish man stuck raising a baby which wasnt his! The bible god's answer is to kill both the girl and the baby"
And remember children, abortion is an intrinsic evil because it takes a human life which is precious in the eyes of God.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
