1) I would say yes...anything that makes abortion easier is probably a bad thing.

2) I don't think so. No more than a dad should have the right to choose whether or not to kill his baby.

3) Those verses, probably. :P But also Psalm 139:15-16, which show God knows us and plans our days before we were born.

4) I'm not sure I understand the verse references? Technically, I would say that is the kind of love shown in this...maybe?

5) Yes. If people don't want to have kids, they should make the choice before they go about making them, not afterwards.

1. Yes, it's unsafe.
2. Ultimately it's her body and her responsibility but morally the child inside has a right to live and unless it puts the mother's life in danger, should be allowed to thrive.
3. Besides the provided examples I like Psalm 139:13 and Job 31:15
4. No, in most cases she is being selfish
5. Yes, we have a choice in everything, though God does know the outcome before we do :) I think a woman should only terminate a pregnancy is it is not viable or puts her life in danger.

1) Yes. Because lust is a sin, viewing porn is a bad thing. I'd probably use Matthew 5:27-28, and Proverbs 5:1-14.

2) Lust is usually and intense and/or uncontrolled desire, in this case for another person. And...yes. It's bad.

3) Never really thought about it in that light...Offhand, I'd say no. But it is adultery, even if not physical so, so...possibly? I'm sort of confused.

4) Yes? No? It'd be great if porn was wiped off the net and everywhere else, but at the same time, I really don't like giving moral control over to the government. For that matter, it wouldn't change our hearts.

5) I think the best option would be to avoid intentionally looking at it. Stuff happens and you can't control what you see when walking down the street, but...I don't have to stop and stare. I can also ask God to help.

1. I would say so since it's all about lust and certainly not pure. 1 Cor 6:18, 1 Thes 4:3
2. Sexual desire, when not directed at your spouse it is. Lust is a sin.
3. Hmm tough question but if my spouse was sexting like a certain politician I would certainly consider it...If I busted him for looking at porn or obviously checking out a woman we'd certainly have some words.
4. Screen what type of movies you watch and have an internet filter to protect your family
