Laws are made by sinful men - the laws they make can be either align with God's Word or against it. That is why Christians from the very beginning of the Church up until today believe in civil disobedience to laws that are contrary to the laws of God - "we must obey God rather than man."Please define murder.
The law - and I - define it as "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."
In order to be considered murder, a thing must be illegal, and abortion does not qualify, so your definition of murder must not be the same - what is it?
...
Taking your definition of murder, you must then believe the murder of the 6 million Jews in the Holocaust was not murder because the Nazis made the 'Final Solution' the law of the land. They tortured, put in concentration camps & murdered those who provided safe haven to the Jews. They commanded that those who knew of those harbouring Jews were, by law, to turn them in or they would suffer the same fate! But, according to your belief, because it was legal to murder the Jews & those who sought to protect them it was lawful??!!
Are you serious?! Just because abortion is 'legal' does not make it right - certainly not according to the Bible - there is no justification for the murder of the unborn!
In regards to Roe v. Wade, under the legal system established by the U.S. Constitution, the power to make laws is vested in Congress and retained by state legislatures. It is not the role of the Supreme Court to substitute the policy preferences of its members for those expressed in laws enacted by the people's elected representatives. The role of the judiciary in constitutional review is to determine if the law being challenged infringes on a constitutionally protected right.
