The name '''Jesus''' is simply the name "Joshua" translated first into Greek, then English. In Christian discourse, the name '''Jesus''' almost always refers specifically to '''Jesus of Nazareth,''' God's son, who came to earth as a human c 2 AD. <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%201:18-25;&version=31;</ref> The life of Jesus is recorded in the Bible in the [[Gospel]]s of [[Matthew]], [[Mark]], [[Luke]], and [[John]]. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and three days later he rose from the dead.

The first time John saw Jesus, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!"

==Other people in the Bible named "Jesus"==

The author of ''Ecclesiastius,'' a book which Catholics include in the Douay Bible, but Protestants place in the Apocrypha, is known as ''Jesus of Sira.''

Jessieh: picture is too big, trying the instructions from wikipedia.

The word '''abortion,''' in connection with pregnancy, can be defined as "Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival."<ref>American Heritage Dictionary definition, [http://www.bartleby.com/61/7/A0020700.html abortion]</ref> Thus, the word includes miscarriage, but commonly refers to ''induced'' abortion; that is, the intentional performance of a procedure which causes the death of a living organism. Most Christian conservatives regard human life as beginning at conception and consider abortion to be the murder of innocent babies while in the womb of their mother.

Abortion is a controversial topic in the United States. Prior to 1973 it was illegal, usually criminal, and considered to be serious medical misconduct. The [[The United States Supreme Court|U.S. Supreme Court]]'s 1973 [[Roe v. Wade]]<ref>Online text of [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=410&page=113 Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973)]</ref> decision ruled that abortions are permissible, as a woman's choice, up to the point at which the fetus becomes able to survive outside the womb.

The overwhelming majority of scientific studies have shown that abortion causes an increase in breast cancer, including 16 out of 17 statistically significant studies.<ref>http://www.jpands.org/vol8no2/malec.pdf</ref> However, like the tobacco industry in the 1950s, the abortion industry has so far kept this important information away from much of the public.

Those who support abortion insist upon terms like "fetus"-- seemingly to minimize the humanity of unborn infants; those against it usually try to stress human element by referring to them as "unborn babies".
