I hardly think that God is going to keep a woman from being pregnant because later on she is going to terminate the pregnancy

However the question as to whether God creates the soul at birth, or earlier, is an old theological debate.
1. "Creationism" - holds that God creates a new soul at the birth of every individual.
2. "Traducianism" - holds that the souls as well as the body originates by propagation.
3. "Pre-existence" - (early church) holds that soul existed in a previous state.

Hence the reason for my applying the question in this "very modern" context.
In the old days the Reformed Church preferred creationism - Lutherans went for Traducianism. RCC - "souls are created at their infusion into the body" (Peter the Lombard).

It is obviously a question which mortals can only speculate upon.

But so are the Christian men and women who sit in their church pews who use birth control pills. They are engaging in the same crime as the abortionist,just using a chemical alternate.

"Since the current director of the institute (of New Testament textual criticism) in Munster has publicly declared the 'Alexandrian text' to be dead, the Byzantine text must now receive the attention that it deserved all along."

A read through church history will reveal that God himself has used godly women in pulpits for the furtherance of his kingdom in the salvation of souls.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
(1Co 14:34-35)

Here in the USA "persecution" comes form the "Reformed" Churches which despite their bluster are increasingly ecumenical along with there ecumenical cousins of whatever stripe.

John 7:8-10 KJV Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up YET unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

"Here we read of Jesus telling his brethren to go up unto a feast and He says: "I go NOT up YET unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Gallilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret." He did in fact go up to the feast."

"However Sinaiticus says: "I DO NOT GO to this feast", and so do the NASB, ASV, RSV, ESV and Wallace's NET version thus making our Lord a liar."

It ties in perfectly with the gospel I preach, and the answer to the question: "What must I do?" is:
1. Repent..
2. Believe...
3. Receive
