Abortion is the hypocrite's crutch, a child dies every few seconds in the world and even in America of preventable healthcare issues and never ever do you hear abortion foes talk of helping the living born conscious human being. It is only this moral outrage over abortion that gets notice for it requires nothing of the moralist except judgment and condemnation of the other. Consider too the misogyny and racism so evident in America during the last President and 2016 election and you must wonder why this love of children does extend into love of all people? How hard it is to to fund help for the needy in America, CHIP was an example, or universal healthcare, and you soon realize abortion like guns is only a wedge issue used to manage the mind of the easily persuaded. Religion, and especially evangelical religion in America has come to be about political power and money, and no longer has anything to do with morality, simply doing good for your neighbor.
"Diarrhoea is a leading killer of children, accounting for 9 per cent of all deaths among children under age 5 worldwide in 2015. This translates to over 1,400 young children dying each day, or about 526,000 children a year, despite the availability of simple effective treatment."

Huge difference from a child dying from disease and being murdered in the womb
Since you're such a devout christian you should know it's wrong to lie.
You should also know that your own god and religion says that while it's inside the womb, it's not life.
Your bible says very clearly and plainly, life starts when air is taken through the nose. A fetus inside the womb can't do that. Only a living person outside the womb can do that.
So there's no murder. No death as far as the christian bible is concerned.
Read genesis. It states very clearly when life starts and it's not inside any womb.
You have your "opinion" and never ever try to dictate me on Christianity.
You're such a Bible fan try Genesis 4: 1, 17, Psalms: 139: 13, 15, Psalms 22: 11-12
It's not my opinion. It's biblical fact.
Genesis 2:7:
But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground. 7Then the LORD God formed man of dustfrom the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man becamea living being.
That is extremely clear when life starts.When air is taken through the nose.
Our laws and science also say that while it's inside the womb, it's either a zygote, embryo or fetus. It doesn't become a baby until it's outside the womb.
No pregnant woman says she has a baby. She says she's going to have a baby. That's because we women know that it's not a baby until it's outside our body.
You can't get a legal birth certificate or death certificate for a fetus. You can't get a social security number for a fetus. You can't get any legal ID for a fetus. You can't register a fetus at any school. A fetus doesn't meet the definition of life either on a scientific, legal or christian level.
No where in our society does our government or science declare that a zygote, embryo or fetus is a baby or living human being.
You can't kill what isn't alive.
Then there's the book of Numbers where your god describes in detail how to perform an abortion.
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.
16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
