In the news, I've seen a lot of talk and argumentation that supporting gay marriage is the Christian thing to do. Just google it and you can see tons of articles on how Christianity and the Bible and the message of Jesus and love should compel Christians to support gay marraige, etc.
I wish to direct your attention to the other social issue nearly always under discussion: abortion. This question is directed to pro-choice Christians who use the bible to further same-sex marriage. Why don't you use your faith to further the pro-choice movement. I'm not saying that faith and the law should mix: not one bit. All I ask is, if there is support in the bible for all sorts of progressive causes, why not use some of Jesus' words to convince other Christians that abortion is supported by the Bible?
There is no mention of abortion in the Bible other than one in Leviticus where it makes it clear that it is to be dealt with by fine rather than the lex talionis.
Because they won't find where abortions were legal and encouraged in the bible.
Evidently, you don't know your bible very well. If a woman was suspected of cheating on her husband, she was instructed to go to a priest to induce a miscarriage.

Well why won't conservatives say that all pregnancies are good since children are a "gift from God." That means ALL pregnancies...even teenage ones and pregnancies to women that can't afford multiple children. Doesn't God want them to be pregnant and have those babies?
Where is that? I thought she was stoned to death. Harsh rules back then.
I guess you didn't actually read the entire bible?
Nimbers 5 11:31
It was commanded by God himself.
(Atheists usually know the bible inside out. Go figure.)

They skip the "Thou shalt not kill" part in the old testament.
Forget the bible, this is the part I don't get: Ask any "progressive" and they'll pat themselves on the back and tell you they are the kings and queens of technological change...except apparently when it comes to sonograms. Then they don't want to look. When the government made it legal to kill babies, perhaps the technology at the time didn't convince them that that's a person in there but what's their excuse now? Now they've become the See No Evil monkey...trotting out risk to the mother's life. What about the majority of abortions? Let's whip out those sonogram images.
