A Biblical prospective on Abortion 

Murder is the killing of an innocent human life. Abortion is the killing of an innocent human life. Therefore, abortion is murder.

Many reject the idea that abortion (killing the fetus in the womb) is the murder of an innocent human life. However, the answer to a few simple questions prove that the unborn child is an innocent human life. (1) Is "that" which is growing within the mother's womb alive or dead? Of course it is alive. (2) Is "that" which is growing within the mother's womb animal or human? Of course it is human. (3) Is "that" which is growing within the mother's womb guilty or innocent? Of course it is innocent. The conclusion then is logically drawn by every rational person that the unborn in the mother's womb is ALIVE, HUMAN and INNOCENT. Therefore, the unborn child is an innocent human life! Abortion is the killing of the "fetus" in the mother's womb. Therefore, abortion is the killing/murder of innocent human life. A "fetus," as it is called by the medical world, is a baby (I prefer to call the unborn child what God calls it, a baby, Luke 1:41,44.) It is a human being. It is yet unborn, but is every bit as much alive, has all bodily organs, feels pain and functions just as you and I. The Bible speaks of the unborn child in the womb in the same words as it does the child after birth. Luke 1:41,44 uses the word "babe" to describe the unborn child in Elizabeth's womb. The verse reads, "For as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy." The word "babe" is also used to describe Jesus immediately after he was born (Luke 2:12,16). "And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger." The Bible makes no distinction between the unborn (Luke 1:41,44), infants (Luke 18:15) and toddlers or young children (Acts 7:19; II Timothy 3:15)!

There is no more moral wrong in killing a child AFTER it is born than there is in killing a child BEFORE it is born. By what sordid thinking do doctors, nurses, medical professionals and willing mothers put to death multiplied millions of little babies/children every year? These unborn children are sacrificed on the altars of greed and selfishness. The deliberate taking of human life is sinful whether the person be two months old inside the womb or outside the womb, two years old or 92 years old!

God hates it (Prov. 6:16-19)!
