"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed -- I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors," stated former President Jimmy Carter.
He continued the interview on his book, Our Enduring Values-America's Moral Crisis, November 3, 2005, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, DC:
"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues. I think our party's leaders ... are overemphasizing the abortion issue."
Former President Carter added:
"I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion."
Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, was in his mother's womb from the moment of conception:
"The angel ... came to Mary and said ... Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus ...
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
Luke continued:
"'And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren' ...
When Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb."
Other Scriptures testify that a baby in the womb is a living person:
Genesis 25:21-23 "And Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
And she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger."
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Isaiah 49:1,5 "The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name ... he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him."
Galatians 1:15 "He who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace."
Psalm 139:13-15 "You did form my inward parts, you knit me together in my mother's womb ... you knew me right well; my frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret."
Three Secular Reasons Why America Should Be Under God
Abortion became legal in all nine months of pregnancy on JANUARY 22, 1973, with the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions.
Norma McCorvey, who was the "Jane Roe" in the Roe v. Wade suit, was interviewed 23 years later by USA Today.
She stated that once, while employed at a clinic when no one was in:
"I went into the procedure room and laid down on the table ... trying to imagine what it would be like having an abortion ... I broke down and cried."
On ABC's World News Tonight, Norma McCorvey said:
"I think abortion's wrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong."
Proverbs 6 states: "The Lord hates ... hands that shed innocent blood."
2 Kings 21 "Manasseh ... sacrificed his own son in the fire ... The Lord said ... 'Manasseh king of Judah has committed these detestable sins ... Therefore ... I am going to bring such disaster' ...
... Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end."
2 Chronicles 33:33 "Manasseh ... did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel."
Leviticus 20 "Anyone ... who sacrifices his child as a burnt offering to Molech ... I myself will turn against that man ...
And if the people of the land pretend they do not know what the man has done ... then I myself will set my face against that man and his family."
Proverbs 24:11-12 "Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don't stand back and let them die. Don't try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn't know about it."
When Cain killed Abel, the Lord asked him:
"What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."
If the blood of the innocent cries out for judgement, how loud is the shedding of 60 million innocent unborn babies in the United States since 1973, in addition to an estimated one billion abortions globally?
