Gee GeorgeT. To the extent God gave us everything there is, doesn't that argument take one just about anywhere one wants? For instance, God gave women the ability and free will to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy and the availability of medical technology to safely accomplish just that . . . so man should not take that away. Cool, facile reasoning of this sort could come in handy for all sorts of things.

YES!! Abortion Should Be illegal. Why? What God gives man should no take away.
Devine prerogative and work
Posted: September 09, 2007 2:46 PM
People in Christianity who form policy on abortion need to realize that conception and birth is within the divine prerogative: God decides. We must have nothing to do with people who want to take away the divine right of God to decide who gets knitted in the womb and who gets born and where. Too easily we talk of human rights as if they take precedence over divine majesty and wisdom. Too often we do not pray when reproductive situations cause heartache and worry and tears. Where are the people like Hannah in the bible? A godly view of the fetus being knitted by God doesn't see the unborn as an unfertilized egg that can be removed and disposed of. That fetus quickly and readily becomes a fully fledged sufferer under the human condition and a fully fledged child-of-God when born. It's too easy to artificially stop time and call what God is knitting together a fetus rather than a person. But no one should deny that it is God doing the work in that womb. Otherwise you deny the scriptures.
