No, He said 'do it', It is God's will, not ours, that children should be brought into this world. If you will notice, this command was repeated at least three times in Genesis alone, and there are similar verses in other books. Now, why does anyone repeat himself? To drive home a very important point, that is why. And this fact "By contrast 169,957 abortions (97.8% of all abortions) were carried out in 1999 for social reasons."

"Fertilized egg" - that means that fertilization has occurred - a new tiny person has been formed and is traveling on his or her way down the fallopian tube to enter and attach to the womb. Once there, the baby receives nourishment, and the growth hormone progesterone needed for survival. But, if the contraceptive device prevents the newly conceived child from attaching to the uterus (womb), what happens? Without nourishment and room to grow, the child cannot survive and he or she dies in the f...
