A while back, someone posted biblical references that allegedly supported
abortion.  I looked them up.  I wonder what that person did.  Picked random
quotes, or something.  Below is a list of the references given, and what I
thought to be the main quotes from each passage.  I did this with the intent
of posting the quotes that most supported pro-choice, even though I'm a
pro-lifer.  But I couldn't find a single one that had anything to do with
abortion -- sometimes their wasn't even anything on sex or parenthood or
children.  In short, the person who posted these references claiming them to
be scriptural support for abortion IS A DIRTY LIAR.

Matthew 7:1-6

MAT 7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.
MAT 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and
              with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
              again.
MAT 7:5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own
              eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
              mote out of thy brother's eye.

Matthew 23:1-12

MAT 23:1  Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
MAT 23:2  Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
MAT 23:5  But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they
              make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders
              of their garments,
MAT 23:8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
              Christ; and all ye are brethren.
MAT 23:11  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
MAT 23:12  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
              he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Mark 7:1-15

MAR 7:5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
              disciples according to the tradition of the elders,
              but eat bread with unwashen hands?
MAR 7:6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied
              of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth
              me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
MAR 7:11  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
              It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever
              thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
MAR 7:12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or
              his mother;
MAR 7:13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
              which ye have delivered: and many such like things do
              ye.

Luke 6:37-42

LUK 6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
              shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
LUK 6:38  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
              down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men
              give into your bosom. For with the same measure that
              ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
LUK 6:39  And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
              blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

Luke 11:37-54

LUK 11:44  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
              are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk
              over them are not aware of them.
LUK 11:46  And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade
              men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves
              touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
LUK 11:47  Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets,
              and your fathers killed them.

Luke 16:16-17

LUK 16:16  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time
              the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth
              into it.
LUK 16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one
              tittle of the law to fail.

John 8:1-11

JOH 8:1  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
JOH 8:2  And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
              all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
              them.
JOH 8:3  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
              in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
JOH 8:4  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
              in the very act.
JOH 8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself,
              and said unto them, He that is without sin among you,
              let him first cast a stone at her.
JOH 8:9  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,
              went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto
              the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing
              in the midst.
JOH 8:10  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,
              he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers?
              hath no man condemned thee?
JOH 8:11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither
              do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
