Why is Abortion Morally Wrong
Abortion is morally wrong because it is morally wrong to
murder a person made in the image and likeness of God (Ge. 9:5-6;
Ex. 20:13; 21:12, 14, 22-23; 23:7; Le. 24:17; Nu. 35:31; De.
5:17; 27:25).
From the moment of conception, an unborn baby is a distinct
person made in the image and likeness of God. God forms a person
in the womb, not a non-person. (Job 10:8-12; 31:15; 34:19; Ps.
139:12-19; Is. 49:1,5; Jer. 1;5).
David was a person from the moment of his conception (Ps. 51:5).
Job was a person from the moment of his conception (Job 3:3).
John the Baptist was a person while in his mother's womb (Lk.
1:13-17, 39-44).
The Lord Jesus Christ was a person while in Mary's womb (Mt.
1:18-25). God calls some people to His future service while they
are yet in the womb (Isa. 49:1,5; Jer. 1:5; Lk. 1:13-17; Gal.
1:15-16).
In the New Testament, the same Greek word ("brephos")
is used to describe an unborn baby inside the womb as is used to
describe a person outside the womb (Lk. 1:41,44; 2:12,16; 18:15;
Acts 7:19; 17:28-29; II Ti. 3:15; I Pe. 2:2).
Abortion may be legal according to man's laws, but it is still
cold-blooded murder according to God's law. God hates "hands
that shed innocent blood" (Pr. 6:17). So must we.
