When does life begin and who has the right to take a life? According to the Annual Abortion Statistics, "In 2008 approximately, 1.21 million abortions took place in the U.S.; down from an estimated 1.29 million in 2002, 1.31 million in 2000 and 1.36 million in 1996. From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions have occurred in the U.S.(AGI). I believe that choosing to bring a life into the world is a wonderful feeling and knowing that a life is growing; thriving off of you is amazing. According to the Bible, (Exodus, Chapter 20, verse 13; it states that "Thou Shalt not Kill "; it does not limited killing to a certain age or trimester; does it? It is also against the laws of the land to kill; does one life outweigh another one; which is why I believe that having an abortion is wrong because it undermines God's true design for human life, it has become a legalized way to kill and regardless of when society feels that life begins; taking a life is wrong no matter what stage of development. .
In the beginning, God created man in his own image, according to the Bible, Genesis Chapter 2. It was at this point that life began. And once both man and woman was created God closed by saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. This was all done so that human life would/ could continue.
