@kellyjay saidLet's keep in mind that John the Baptist was about 6 months older than Jesus, and so in this passage Elizabeth was probably just into the third trimester. This is well past the point of viability, and no woman in their right mind is likely to terminate a pregnancy this far along, regardless of what the fear-mongers in your party are telling you.
We are told not to judge because the judgment we use will be used on us, so if
you judge someone murdering another; you are perfectly capable of judging that
as wrong as you don't murder. God tells us not to murder; God is a God of life,
and scripture tells us that God forms us in our mother's wombs, the very first
person to leap for joy at the news of Jesus was John the ...[text shortened]... as we are
to care for our family, believe it or not, the children we have are our responsibilities.

Should not the Christ in you offer the other cheek, no matter how many slaps or spanks you deserve, especially in light of images from the Hubble and the Webb telescopes?
Please try to be more magnanimous like Victor Hugo, instead of tiny and fierce like a rabid wet kitty.

What does this have to do with that?

months, how about one month? When did John's life start, after conception, or
sometime after that? We know he was called by name in His mother's womb
and that God forms us in there according to scripture.
@kellyjay saidThe Jews (and the Hebrews) believe that the new life gets ensouled with the first breath. We may get formed in the womb, but the job isn't finished yet.

What I am telling you is that a natural point after which abortion becomes much less of an option, is the point of viability. Personhood should wait until at least that point. Leave it to Trump's Supreme Court to make criminals out of half of America, because you KNOW that is where this is heading.
