Things to consider as consequences of having an abortion:
* You will be destroying a part of your own flesh, your own child. By doing this you destroy not only your child but a part of your own self and you will never fully recover but will carry this the remainder of your life, for a part of you will have been destroyed. It is a memory you will not likely extinguish.
* And another burden: At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh. So you have already committed to being one flesh with that man by having sexual intercourse with him, for as long as either of you live on this earth you will be one flesh by this act of sexual intercourse for this is the way God created this. You will find it is not so easy to eliminate that sexual partner either.
I Corinthians 6:15-18 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.
(Even if a man has sex with a prostitute he becomes one flesh with that prostitute.)
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
You fragment yourself each time you have sex with another person. You may try to escape this but God ordained that the two become one flesh at the time of sexual intercourse and you cannot change this fact for it is as surely set as the sun is set by God in the sky.
Abortion will just add to your own torments.
But there are even greater things to consider: Sinning against God and upsetting the course of the way God ordained for this earth and for humans who live on this earth.
God's plan is as follows:
Mark 10 Jesus says:
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
God joined the two together at the time of sexual intercourse. Casual sex cannot be casual.
Other scriptures to consider:
*****
Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is HIS reward.
YOU sin against God if you destroy your own child. For you destroy the heritage of God.
You upset the course of your own world as ordained by God for the people in this world, and this will further destroy you. Not only do you commit murder, but you stop the heritage of the Lord for all your family: You hurt many other people: your parents who would be denied the right to be grandparents and have God's heritage. If you have brothers or sisters you also deny them their rightful heritage to have a niece or nephew. And if you have other children, you deny their heritage by killing their brother or sister.
You end up harming everyone in your path ... and you will destroy a part of your own self also!
And your choice will likely carry into all eternity.
II Corinthians 5:10-11 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

And the apostle Paul shows how terrible it can be for women to be "free" to run about from house to house.
I Timothy 5:13-15 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 I will therefore that the younger women (who are widows) marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
