Abortion: What Does the Bible Say?
The Bible is straightforward about God's opinion on abortion. Though, yourself as a woman, may think you have the right to control your body, your life, and how it should end up, you should remember that God created you, and He is the one that controls your body. Suppose you got pregnant, and you wanted an abortion. Well, there was a reason you got pregnant, and if God wanted to deprive your unborn child of a life, then He would have provided you with a miscarriage. In the past, some people believed that perhaps the body might be in the process of formation for some time, and then 'God breathes a soul into it.' Things are different though because the life that is present already, forms matter into a body. "Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name...and now the LORD says--he who formed me in the womb to be his servant..." (Isaiah 49:1,5). The Bible speaks of the fetus as a person, not simply tissue that can be discarded if found to be a bother or unwanted. Since the fetus is a person from the moment of conception, then the destroying of the fetus is equal to killing a person. The Gospel of Luke ascribes personality to the fetus within Elizabeth: "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit... As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy" (1:41, 44). Just a tissue does not leap for joy; only a person does. God says that a fetus is a person. Some people, probably thinking they are smarter then God saying that a fetus is not a person. Whom do you believe? Since the Bible regards the fetus as personality, then the aborting of the fetus is murdering personality. Some verses from Scripture dealing with murder are then appropriate for study, such as Genesis 9:6: "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man." Also, read Exodus 23:7: "Have nothing to do with a false charge, and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty." Also, note one the 6th commandment: "Thou shall not kill… The Bible is clear. God, who is the Creator of that fetus does not allow anybody to take his life. It is such a pity to kill your baby when he is let’s say 2 years old, isn’t it? Is there any difference between killing a kid when he is 2 or 5 yrs old? That person would still be called a murderer. The fact that we don’t see the face of that baby nor probably know his name, doesn’t give us the right to take his life away. If you are a woman who is on the point of making a decision about this, I want to strongly encourage you to keep your baby even if you don’t really see how you’re going to feed him or even if you live in a conservative society and think that so many will point their fingers at you. God will help you find a way. He created you, and your child, and he will help provide you.
