Some abortion advocates claim that their beliefs are based on the Bible and claim that the Bible does not prohibit abortion. They’re wrong. The Bible, in fact, vigorously forbids the killing of innocent people (Exodus 20:13) and clearly regards the fetus as a protected human being (21:22-25).
Job graphically described how God created him before he was born (Job 10: 8-12). What was in his mother’s womb was not something that could become Job, but someone who was Job is the same man, only that younger. Isaiah, God said: “Thus speaks the Lord, who created you and raised you from the womb, and who helps you? (Isaiah 44: 2). What each person is, and not only in what they can become, he was present in the heart of his mother, womb.
- Psalm 139: 13-16 paints a vivid picture of God’s intimate participation with a person before his birth.
- Did God create him? Inside David.
- Not at birth.
- But before birth.
- David said to his Creator.
- “Have you woven me into my mother’s womb?”(Verse 13).
- Each person.
- Regardless of affiliation or disability.
- Was not created on a cosmic assembly line.
- But personally created by God.
- Every day of our lives is planned by God before it becomes (verse 16).
Meredith Kline notes: “The most important thing about the law of abortion in biblical law is that there is no legislation. Is it so inconceivable that an Israeli woman wants an abortion that it is not necessary to mention this crime in the penal code?Was it all necessary to ban abortion from the commandment?(Exodus 20:13). Every Israelite knew the fetus was a child. As we know, if we’re honest. We all know that a pregnant woman “carries a child. “
Every child in the womb is god’s work and part of his plan. Did Christ love this child and show him by becoming like him?He himself spent nine months in his mother’s womb.
Just as the terms child and adolescent, embryo and fetus do not refer to non-human beings, but to human beings at different stages of development, it is scientifically incorrect to say that a human embryo or fetus is not a being simply because it is at a more premature stage than a child. It’s the same as saying that a child is not a human being, because he’s not a teenager yet. Does anyone become more human as they grow?If this is the case, adults are more human than children and football players are more human than riders. Something that is not human does not become human or more human as one ages or grows; everything human is human from the beginning, or it is not human at all. The right to life does not increase with age and height; otherwise, children and adolescents would have less right to live than adults.
Once we recognize that unborn children are human beings, the question of their right to life must be resolved, no matter how they were conceived. The comparison between maternal rights and the rights of babies is uneven. The issue of the vast majority of abortions is unequal. The mother’s lifestyle, unlike the baby’s life. In such cases, it is right for society to expect an adult to live temporarily at a disadvantage, if the only alternative is to kill a child.
Abortion advocates divert attention from the vast majority of abortions (99%) focusing on rape and incest due to the sympathy factor. They give the false impression that pregnancy is common in these cases. However, no child is a “despicable product of rape or incest. , “but a unique and wonderful creation of God made in his image. For a female victim, having and having a child can be much more beneficial than knowing that a child has died in an attempt to reduce their trauma.
When Alan Keyes spoke to high school students at a Detroit school, a 13-year-old girl asked him if he would make an exception for rape in his pro-life stance. He answered with this question: “If your father raped someone, and we found him guilty of this rape, do you think it would be fair if we said, “Okay, because your father was guilty of rape, are we going to kill you?”The class replied, “No. ” When asked why a girl should have a pregnancy, when something so horrible had happened to her, she wisely made the following analogy:
Suppose america was involved in a war when you were 19 and we know that in wars of the past, we were recruited and people your age were recruited and sent to war, right?He’d have to live on a battlefield, he’d have to risk his life. And many people, in fact, risk their lives, go through difficulties every day and end up dying. What were they defending? Our country and its freedom. They had to go through difficulties because of freedom, didn’t they?
The principle of freedom is that our rights come from God Do you think it is wrong to ask people to sacrifice the same to maintain our respect for this principle?I just don’t think it’s fair to take this pain and make it worse, you know what I’ll add if I allow an abortion?I add the weight of this abortion and, at some point, the truth of God that is written in your heart returns to you, and that truth hurts you.
Therefore, I do not think it is right for neither the child nor the woman to allow this tragedy to take the lives of both, the physical life of the child and the moral and spiritual life of the mother. And in this society, I think they’re doing us both terrible harm because we don’t have the courage to stand up for what’s true (ProLife Info Digest, February 2, 2000).
In his book Victims and Victors, David Reardon and his collaborators recount the experiences of 192 women who became pregnant as a result of rape or incest. It turns out that when victims of violence speak for themselves, their opinion on abortion is almost unanimous and exactly the opposite of what most might predict: almost all the women interviewed said they regretted having an abortion of their baby conceived by rape or incest. Of the women who gave an opinion, more than 90% said they would discourage other victims of sexual violence from having an abortion None of those who gave birth expressed their regret.
The imposition of the death penalty on the innocent child of a sex offender does not result in any punishment for the rapist or benefit to the woman. Raising a second victim never denies the damage caused to the first victim. Abortion doesn’t provide a cure for a rape victim.
Christ’s disciples did not understand how precious the children were to him, so they rebuked those who tried to bring them closer to him (Luke 18:15-17). But Jesus said, “Let the little ones come to me and not embarrass them. , that is why it is the kingdom of God. ” He considered children to be part of his kingdom, not a distraction.
The biblical vision of children is that they are a blessing and gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3-5). However, Western culture sees children as obligations. We must learn to see all children as God sees them, and we must act upon them as he tells us to act. We must defend the cause of the weak and orphans; defend the rights of the poor and oppressed, save the weak and needy, and deliver him from the wicked (Psalm 82:3-4).
Christ has affirmed that everything we do or stop doing with God’s children who are weaker and more vulnerable, we do or stop doing with Him. At trial, “the king, answering, will say unto them, Truly, I say unto them, every time thou hast done it unto one of my little brothers, thou hast done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40).
