The Bible clearly teaches that abortion is wrong. This
teaching comes across in many ways and for many
reasons. Some people point out that the word
"abortion" is not in the Bible, and that is true.
Nevertheless, the teaching about abortion is there. This
is the case with many teachings. The word "Trinity" is
not in the Bible, but the teaching about the Trinity is
there. In any case, a person who wants to deny the
teaching about abortion would deny it even if the word
were there.
Let’s look at some of the Biblical reasons why abortion,
the deliberate destruction of a child in the womb, is
very wrong.


1. The Bible teaches that human life is different from
other types of life, because human beings are made in
the very image of God.
The accounts of the creation of man and woman in
Genesis (Genesis 1:26-31; 2:4-25) tell us this: "God
created man in his image; in the divine image he
created him; male and female he created
them" (Genesis 1:27).
The word "create" is used three times here, emphasizing
a special crowning moment in the whole process of
God’s making the world and everything in it. The man
and woman are given "dominion" over everything else in
the visible world.
Not even the original sin takes away the image of God
in human beings. St. James refers to this image and
says that because of it we should not even speak ill of
one another. "With [the tongue] we bless the Lord and
Father, and with it we curse human beings who are
made in the image of God . . . This ought not be so,
brothers" (James 3:9-10).
The image of God! This is what it means to be human!
We are not just a bunch of cells randomly thrown
together by some impersonal forces. Rather, we really
reflect an eternal God who knew us from before we
were made, and purposely called us into being.
At the heart of the abortion tragedy is the question
raised in the Psalms: "Lord, what is man that you care
for him, mortal man that you keep him in mind? . . .
With glory and honor you crowned him, giving him
power over the works of your hands" (Psalm 8:5-7).
There is the key. Not only did God make us, but He
values us. The Bible tells us of a God who is madly in
love with us, so much so that He became one of us and
even died for us while we were still offending Him (see
Romans 5:6-. In the face of all this, can we say that
human beings are disposable, like a car that becomes
more trouble than it is worth? "God doesn’t make junk."
If you believe the Bible, you have to believe that human
life is sacred, more sacred than we have ever imagined!


2. The Bible teaches that children are a blessing.
God commanded our first parents to "Be fertile and
multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Why? God Himself is fertile.
Love always overflows into life. When the first mother
brought forth the first child, she exclaimed, "I have
brought forth a man with the help of the Lord" (Genesis
4:1). The help of the Lord is essential, for He has
dominion over human life and is its origin. Parents
cooperate with God in bringing forth life. Because this
whole process is under God’s dominion, it is sinful to
interrupt it. The prophet Amos condemns the
Ammonites "because they ripped open expectant
mothers in Gilead" (Amos 1:13).
"Truly children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the
womb is a reward" (Psalm 127:3).


3. The Bible teaches that the child in the womb is
truly a human child, who even has a relationship with
the Lord.
The phrase "conceived and bore" is used repeatedly (see
Genesis 4:1,17) and the individual has the same identity
before as after birth. "In sin my mother conceived me,"
the repentant psalmist says in Psalm 51:7. The same
word is used for the child before and after birth
( Brephos , that is, "infant," is used in Luke 1:41 and Luke
18:15.)
God knows the preborn child. "You knit me in my
mother’s womb . . . nor was my frame unknown to you
when I was made in secret" (Psalm 139:13,15). God also
helps and calls the preborn child. "You have been my
guide since I was first formed . . . from my mother’s
womb you are my God" (Psalm 22:10-11). "God… from
my mother’s womb had set me apart and called me
through his grace" (St. Paul to the Galatians 1:15).


4. Scripture repeatedly condemns the killing of the
innocent.
This flows from everything that has been seen so far.
God’s own finger writes in stone the commandment
"Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17)
and Christ reaffirms it (Matthew 19:18 - notice that He
mentions this commandment first). The Book of
Revelation affirms that (unrepentant) murderers cannot
enter the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 22:15).
The killing of children is especially condemned by God
through the prophets. In the land God gave his people
to occupy, foreign nations had the custom of sacrificing
some of their children in fire. God told His people that
they were not to share in this sin. They did, however,
as Psalm 106 relates: "They mingled with the nations
and learned their works…They sacrificed their sons and
their daughters to demons, and they shed innocent
blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
desecrating the land with bloodshed" (Psalm 106:35,
37-38).
This sin of child-sacrifice, in fact, is mentioned as one
of the major reasons that the Kingdom of Israel was
destroyed by the Assyrians and the people taken into
exile. "They mutilated their sons and daughters by fire…
till the Lord, in his great anger against Israel, put them
away out of his sight" (2 Kings 17:17-18).
Notice that this practice was a religious ritual. Not
even for "religious freedom" can the killing of children
be tolerated.


5. The Bible teaches that God is a God of justice.
An act of justice is an act of intervention for the
helpless, an act of defense for those who are too weak
to defend themselves. In foretelling the Messiah, Psalm
72 says, "Justice shall flower in his days…for he shall
rescue the poor man when he cries out and the afflicted
when he has no one to help him" (Psalms 72:7,12). Jesus
Christ is our justice (1 Corinthians 1:30) because He
rescued us from sin and death when we had none to
help us (see Romans 5:6, Ephesians 2:4-5).
If God does justice for His people, He expects His
people to do justice for one another. "Be merciful as
your heavenly Father is merciful" (Luke 6:36). "Go and
do likewise" (Luke 10:37). "Do unto others as you would
have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12). "Love one
another" (John 15:17).
Abortion is the opposite of these teachings. It is a
reversal of justice. It is a destruction of the helpless
rather than a rescue of them. If God’s people do not
intervene to save those whose lives are attacked, then
the people are not pleasing or worshiping Him.
God says through Isaiah, "Trample my courts no more!
Bring no more worthless offerings…Your festivals I
detest…When you spread out your hands, I close my
eyes to you; though you pray the more, I will not listen.
Your hands are full of blood! Wash yourselves clean…
learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the
wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the
widow" (Isaiah 1:13-17).
Indeed, those who worship God but support abortion
are falling into the same contradiction as God’s people
of old, and need to hear the same message.


6. Jesus Christ paid special attention to the poor, the
despised, and those whom the rest of society
considered insignificant.
He broke down the false barriers that people set up
among themselves, and instead acknowledged the equal
human dignity of every individual, despite what
common opinion might say. Hence we see Him reach
out to children despite the efforts of the apostles to
keep them away (Matthew 19:13-15); to tax collectors
and sinners despite the objections of the Scribes (Mark
2:16); to the blind despite the warnings of the crowd
(Matthew 20:29-34); to a foreign woman despite the
utter surprise of the disciples and of the woman herself
(John 4:9, 27); to Gentiles despite the anger of the Jews
(Matthew 21:41-46); and to the lepers, despite their
isolation from the rest of society (Luke 17:11-19).
When it comes to human dignity, Christ erases
distinctions. St. Paul declares, "There is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither slave or free person, there is not
male and female; for you are all one in Christ
Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).
We can likewise say, "There is neither born nor unborn."
Using this distinction as a basis for the value of life or
the protection one deserves is meaningless and
offensive to all that Scripture teaches. The unborn are
the segment of our society which is most neglected and
discriminated against. Christ Himself surely has a
special love for them.


7. Scripture teaches us to love.
St. John says, "This is the message you have heard from
the beginning: we should love one another, unlike Cain
who belonged to the evil one and slaughtered his
brother" (1 John 3:11-12). Love is directly contrasted
with slaughter. To take the life of another is to break
the command of love. To fail to help those in need and
danger is also to fail to love.
Christ teaches this clearly in the parable of the Good
Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), in the story of the rich man
and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31), and in many other places.
No group of people is in more serious danger than the
boys and girls in the womb. "If someone…sees a brother
in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love
of God remain in Him?" (1 John 3:17).


8. Life is victorious over death.
This is one of Scripture’s most basic themes. The
victory of life is foretold in the promise that the head
of the serpent, through whom death entered the world,
would be crushed (see Genesis 3:15).
Isaiah promised, "He will destroy death forever" (Isaiah
25:. At the scene of the first murder, the soil "opened
its mouth" to swallow Abel’s blood. At the scene of the
final victory of life, it is death itself that "will be
swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your
victory? Where, O death, is your sting?…Thanks be to
God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:54-57).
Abortion is death. Christ came to conquer death, and
therefore abortion. "I have come that they may have
life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).
The final outcome of the battle for life has already been
decided by the Resurrection of Christ. We are not just
working for victory; we are working from victory. We
joyfully take a victory that has already been won, and
proclaim, celebrate, and serve it until He comes again
to bring it to its fullness. "There shall be no more
death" (Revelation 21:4). "Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20).

Abortion is the removal of the product of human conceptus [foetus or non-viable human being] whether before or after implantation in the womb”[1]. It is any act of the removal of the unborn baby from the moment of fertilization to the time of birth
