The bible and abortion

I notice that it doesn't say when god knew you in the womb, only that he did. So it may very well be that god doesn't know you in the womb until you consist of more than a few cells. Or maybe he doesn't know you until the start of the third trimester.Also, for Messenjah - since you apparently think that a person could consist of a few cells, what would you think if I took a couple of cells - from your blood, say, or the inside of your mouth - and killed the rest of you (by cremation, let's say?) Would you consider that murder? If so, why? If a few cells is enough for an embryo to be fully human, why isn't it enough for you? Sounds like a double standard to me.

Who, exactly?I mean, we're talking about an uncomfortable, stigmatized surgical procedure with very real risks. Who goes in for one every other month, or whatever? It can't possibly be pleasant to go through.Maybe you're right and some people do, but I guess I find that a little unbelievable. Well, I know, or have a suspicion, anyway - no baby in a womb is an individual. You don't develop individual conciousness until exposure to language, which happens after birth. (I'd say that this view is largely supported by the phenomenon of "feral children", but obviously, it's by no means confirmed.)
