Abortion: Birth Control or Murder?
|
One of the hottest issues today is abortion. Every person who runs for political
office must face this issue. We must understand that abortion is not just a political
issue, but is a moral issue as well. Being a moral issue, the church must take a stand
on it. All stands we take must be based on the Bible. Let us look to the Bible to see
if aborting a baby is acceptable to God, or if it is murder, the taking of a life.
