A bloodstained coat...
Here is another thing you do. You cover the LORD's altar with tears, weeping and groaning because he pays no attention to your offerings, and he doesn't accept them with pleasure. You cry out, "Why has the LORD abandoned us?" I'll tell you why! Because the LORD witnessed the vows you and your wife made to each other on your wedding day when you were young. But you have been disloyal to her, though she remained your faithful companion, the wife of your marriage vows. Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. "For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "It is as cruel as putting on a victim's bloodstained coat," says the LORD Almighty. "So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife." -Malachi 2:13-16
The issue is this...if you choose to engage in a sexual relationship with someone its an act of good faith. You are saying to that person that you will commit to becoming a family. God designed sex to produce life. God designed man and woman to love each other for life, raise a family and keep the human race from going extinct. So if you get a woman pregnant or get yourself pregnant...welcome to married life. Oneness of spirit and flesh has taken place and from that intimacy...new life is created. Not only the life of the child but a new life for you...you move from single life to married life. Engaging in sex is a consummation to a new life...one of commitment, faithfulness and family.
To end the life of that child who is the result of your choice to enter into a God ordained holy union...is murder.
An act that is the same as putting on a bloodstained coat in God's eyes. So if you want closure in a relationship...start by closing your legs....for the sake of a child at least. If you have had an abortion...repent, turn to Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, get married or stop having sex outside of marriage. If you do get married have some godly children and maybe...adopt a child as an act of moral restitution.
Give another child a chance at having a family.

The arguement will never be won because their hearts are stone, they do not want to know the truth. They only want to feel justified. If anyone, anyone at all, will tell them what they do is ok... then it doesn't matter what a thousand other people say.
It really surprises me how many "doctors" are for an issue that they claim is "scientific" yet so many other doctors will be against them. But if just one doctor says something on the issue, the people who already made up their mines will be secure in their decisions.
"The issue is this...if you choose to engage in a sexual relationship with someone its an act of good faith. You are saying to that person that you will commit to becoming a family."
The issue is your faulty premise. Do not judge because you are not in a place to do so. What about those who do not choose....rape victims.
Outside of of Bonobo monkeys, humans are the only species that engage in sexual acts for pleasure. Bonobo monkeys also illicit sexual and homosexual behavior for personal gratification.
In hindsight, sex is for reproduction, but in hindsight, we are rational, and if we are the only species that exhibits the trait of satisfaction from sex, you can not prescribe something universal to to something that is explicitly human...
Or perhaps you could speak with Darwin and the Bonobos.
