During the earliest stages of pregnancy, is a baby part of the mother, or is it its own person?
It doesn't matter. Whether you call a fetus part of the mother or not, aborting it is removing its chance to exist. It does not matter if an unborn baby is a part of the mother or not. Without abortion, that child will almost certainly grow up and be alive and do things and meet people. So even if it is part of the mother, taking it's life is not acceptable. It is murder.
What does the bible say about abortion?
For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb… Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be. —Psalm 139:13, 16 Every child is a child of God. He has a plan for each person, unborn or not. He planned for this child to be born.
