What’s the harm?

If one accepts the conclusion that Scripture does not categorize a pre-born, developing human, as having the spark of life, necessarily, and that Scripture does not tell us how to determine when a developing embryo is under God’s protection, and, therefore, must not be subjected to interference by any human; then, one may ask, “What is the harm of abortion?”

To answer that question, we need to return to the creation of mankind, as it is recorded in Genesis. In the Genesis account, we have the following process of, creation with empowerment.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.(Genesis 1:26-28)—-
