What Does The Bible Teach About Abortion?

Using Biblical logic we can deduce that abortion is wrong, based on two facts.

Fact No. 1: Murdering an innocent person is outlawed by the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13BabyinwombAbortionprolifegwinnettrighttolife

Fact No. 2: The unborn or preborn baby is a person.

Conclusion: Aborting an innocent unborn baby is wrong.

We know that every preborn baby is a person, because:

  • They are living and growing. Abortion kills the unborn. Only something living can be killed.
  • The unborn is a separate individual being from his or her mother, with a separate genetic fingerprint; brain and central nervous system; blood type; and may even be a different gender.

Unless their life is terminated by an induced abortion, they will mature from a tiny person, to a small person in the course of the first nine months of life. If it is not a living, growing person from the moment of conception, — why does its existence require killing in order to stop it?
