Frankly and honestly, I didn't know it was wrong. I just happened to be wrong for me at that time, but my belief that it was wrong grew as my relationship with Christ grew and matured. Now, I've not got that worry (too old, ya know). And, before you ask, God blessed us with 2 daughters, not 10 or 12 like some souls I know.
As for needing to prove that single human cell quantifies as life, no I don't need to prove it. You see, to me the fact that God considers us His creation before he places us in our mother's womb, well that's all I needed. For me, that is proof. That may not be enough for some.

For me, the choosing of short hair was not a personal spiritual decision - I personally preferred my long hair. But arthritic hands required it; they just wouldn't put the hairbrush through it. I wonder what God would say? I certainly don't feel as though it were wrong, just necessary.

I guess I would have to say yes, it is sinful to use contraceptives (no, I didn't); and marrying the wrong person (do not be unequally yolked) if one knows it is the wrong person, yes - as for having sex on the wrong day - what is the right day?
And you are correct, sometimes we do destroy God's creation.... I don't chop down trees, but I use paper. But God put animals (over all these I give you dominion) and plants on earth for the use of humans. Humans he created expressly for His pleasure.

Hospital dietician says this is definitely not the safest way. My doctor agrees. Our body requires a "balanced" diet including carbs. in order to for everything to function correctly (long term, like a lifetime).
I do congratulate you on that extraordinary loss - an excellent way to benefit your health. But you might consider looking for something healthier for the longer haul (I know, it's been a long haul).
Been there, done that and won't do it again.

It surprises me that no one seems to recall that God "knit us up in our mother's womb" and that "he knew us". God is our creator and has planned us from long before our birth.
As a child of God, could I willfully destroy his creation? No. I believe it is as wrong as breaking any of the 10 Commandments.

Interesting concept, but in my experience prayer and a Christ-like attitude would probably accomplish more. The t-shirt will offend many, christian and non-christian alike. And the government is unlikely to make any changes because of a t-shirt.
However, I do applaud "boldness for Christ".
