have no idea why I am so surprised when I come across things like so-called Christians claiming that it is biblical to murder babies in the name of "choice". I suppose there is still a part in me that is still naive enough to think that someone who claims to be a Christian would actually be intimately familiar with who Christ truly is and what doctrines His Word holds. I guess I tend to forget at times that the title of Christian is so loosely and widely used that it no longer even carries a real definition. I realize that the Church is predominately made up of purely nominal believers who not only lack a true knowledge of Christ and His Word but they do not show even the slightest bit of fruit in their life, but still I am dumbfounded when I see things like professing Christians twisting the Holy Scriptures to justify the mass murder of innocence. If you can stomach such blatant hypocrisy then read this.
As you can see they go into this insanely long (and that's coming from me whose blogs tend to be...well if you read them, you know how long winded I can be, although I am trying to fix that...thanks to Dan Phillips from Team-Pyro) in-depth (can you call something that is completely filled with error in depth?) explanation on how you can not take certain verses out of context (which is true, even though they take verses out of context themselves...aww sweet irony) to prove your point, and they claim the pro-lifers have done just that; taken certain Psalms out of context to justify their stance on being anti-abortion. I am going to bypass both "in-depth" arguments made by pro-lifers and pro-abortionists alike and just present to you one passage from the very lips of our LORD
Matthew 5:21-22
"You have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."
Think about this...really soak it in. The Lord God Almighty says that if you call someone a fool you are guilty enough to enter eternal damnation. Do you honestly think that God is not going to hold those who murder babies accountable for their sinful actions? Forget debating...its obvious that God's standards are so high that you can't even call someone a name without being condemned, much less physically murder an infant. Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists all those who will not "inherit the Kingdom of God" which includes "revilers" and "covetous" people. So if I can be more transparent, if you speak "abusive language", or desire someone else's possessions you will go to hell, but some so-called Christians would have us believe that abortion, however, is OK in the eyes of Christ? Seriously, if you think that you can be a Christian and at the same time be pro-abortion, you are self deceived at best. I also want to note that the early Church who were taught first hand by the Apostles realized the sinfulness of abortion, and they recorded it in the Didache saying, "Thou shalt not murder a child by abortion." Lastly look at what God hates...yes, God hates things...and these things He hates are an abomination to Him.
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers."
Before I go, I just have to say this...with the election coming up, if you claim to be a Christian and plan on voting for anyone who has been known to vote "pro-choice...aligning yourself with those who are directly responsible for legislation that brings about the death of millions of babies a year, then you too are guilty of shedding innocent blood. If those who covet and those who speak abusive language will not escape judgment, neither will those who give hearty approval (Rom 1:32) to the death of innocence. Do not be self deceived.

I thought the angle you took--how "easy" it is to be sent to hell by ones speech--which people often do daily--and compare that to the taking of innocent lives—was great. You leave the reader asking the question—Which is worse? The answer is obvious and shows one what will happen to those who are pro-abortion.
By referencing Rom 1:32 you show that you don’t have to have an abortion to be condemned—you can just support those (including politicians) who support abortion.
