Different reasons people say you can kill an unborn baby. You have to take their argument to its logical crazy conclusion. If they say they can kill a baby because it is not able to take care of itself then you see they are saying you can kill someone due to their degree of dependency. You would ask them so it is okay to murder the unborn because they cannot take care of themselves? After they say yes then you ask them if it is okay to kill someone is a nursing home since they cannot take care of themselves. IF it is not okay then their argument does not hold up in the case of the unborn. You can do this same thing with each category below.
- Size – Can you kill a dwarf? Are they worth less because of their size?
- Level of Development – Can you kill a handicap person because they are not developed to your standard?
- Environment – Is there another environment where it is okay to kill a person since it is okay in your view to kill a person that is in a mothers womb?
- Degree of Dependency – Is it okay to kill a diabetic since they cannot live without help?

Using scripture when witnessing to these moms is important. You want to be gentle and kind but you need to give them truth. Telling a mom what the Bible says she about what she is about to do is being kind.
