Abortion is Murder
By studying the verse and purport of Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 3, Chapter 31, Text 17 we can get some idea of how demoniac it is to abort an unborn child:
dehy anya-deha-vivare jaṭharāgnināsṛg-
viṇ-mūtra-kūpa-patito bhṛśa-tapta-dehaḥ
icchann ito vivasituṁ gaṇayan sva-māsān
nirvāsyate kṛpaṇa-dhīr bhagavan kadā nu
TRANSLATION
Fallen into a pool of blood, stool and urine within the abdomen of his mother, his own body scorched by the mother's gastric fire, the embodied soul, anxious to get out, counts his months and prays, "O my Lord, when shall I, a wretched soul, be released from this confinement?"
PURPORT
The precarious condition of the living entity within the womb of his mother is described here. On one side of where the child is floating is the heat of gastric fire, and on the other side are urine, stool, blood and discharges. After seven months the child, who has regained his consciousness, feels the horrible condition of his existence and prays to the Lord. Counting the months until his release, he becomes greatly anxious to get out of the confinement. The so-called civilized man does not take account of this horrible condition of life, and sometimes, for the purpose of sense gratification, he tries to kill the child by methods of contraception or abortion. Unserious about the horrible condition in the womb, such persons continue in materialism, grossly misusing the chance of the human form of life.
The word kṛpaṇa-dhīḥ is significant in this verse. Dhī means "intelligence," and kṛpaṇa means "miserly." Conditional life is for persons who are of miserly intelligence or who do not properly utilize their intelligence. In the human form of life the intelligence is developed, and one has to utilize that developed intelligence to get out of the cycle of birth and death. One who does not do so is a miser, just like a person who has immense wealth but does not utilize it, keeping it simply to see. A person who does not actually utilize his human intelligence to get out of the clutches of māyā, the cycle of birth and death, is accepted as miserly. The exact opposite of miserly is udāra, "very magnanimous." A brāhmaṇa is called udāra because he utilizes his human intelligence for spiritual realization. He uses that intelligence to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness for the benefit of the public, and therefore he is magnanimous.

When will those fools and rascals give us this heinous crime of murdering the unborn babies? We pray that that day will come soon.

1. What about Jesus Christ? Is he the Lord or a devotee of Lord Krishna?
2. Why do you give all glories to Srila Prabhupada, who was also "just" a servant of Lord Krishna. I think we should glorify Lord Krishna instead.

My Dear Helene
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Jesus Christ is not God. He is the son of God as he states in the Bible. But because he purely represents God taking shelter of him is as good as taking shelter of God Himself.
Srila Prabhupada is a similarly exalted spiritual personality. These great personalities such as Lord Jesus and Srila Prabhupada are meant to be glorified and served. This is confirmed by Lord Sri Krishna who says to Arjuna in the Ādi Purāṇa:
Ye me bhakta-janāḥ pārtha na me bhaktāś ca te janāḥ
Mad-bhaktānāṁ ca ye bhaktās te me bhaktatamā matāḥ
“My dear Pārtha, those who claim to be My direct devotees are not actually My devotees, but those who are devotees of My devotees are actually My devotees. “
So the more we become the devotees of the Lord's devotees the more we become advanced in Krishna consciousness.
Is this clear?
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
