Abortion and Why It Is Wrong (And What the Bible Says about Abortion)

Abortion and Why It Is Wrong

Society tells us that abortion is a perfectly acceptable way to deal with unwanted babies, and people reason that these babies are not fully human, and so killing them is not murder, but what does the Bible say about abortion?

The word “abortion” does not appear in the Bible, because “abortion” is the socially-accepted way of identifying the murder of helpless children. Abortion, of course, simply means a termination, an end to something. In this case, it is the end of a life that just got started.

God created us (both male and female) in His own image.

Genesis 1:27-28 (bold added)  

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

We are not like the animals that are created to serve man. We are not like the angels, which are forbidden to marry and bear children. Men and women are given the blessing to marry and have children.

Does Satan, mankind’s enemy, want men and women to marry and raise children, who are created in God’s image? Satan hates God and everything that is made in God’s image. Satan, as Lucifer, once was the leader of worship in Heaven*, but Satan got proud and wanted to be worshipped as God. He was not content with the honor he had received and wanted more. In his rebellion, he led a third of God’s angels against God. God cast them out of his Holy throne room, the place where He placed His throne.

Isaiah 14:12-15

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

(*Note: See Ezekiel 28:13-16)

Satan shall be cast into the Lake of Fire after a thousand years of Jesus Christ’s rule on Earth (the millennium). Revelation 20:10 says, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

Satan Is Seeking to Devour Men and Women

Now, Satan, the devil, is seeking to devour men and women. He wants people to be deceived and to believe that they can kill and get away with it. God says, “Thou shalt not kill [Exodus 20:13].” Satan says, ‘kill because it is more convenient.’

Jesus Christ said Satan “was a murderer from the beginning” (see John 8:44). The devil does not want humans to exist on planet Earth. He hates all men and women because they are made in God’s image. He hates babies, because they a little humans, and like adults, they are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27).

Can a baby tell his (or her) mother that he loves her once he is born? Can a baby tell his mother or father how he will benefit them? Can a baby defend his right to live? Before he takes his first step or says “mommy” or “dada”, his life is taken from him in a special “clinic”.  The doctor, who is originally supposed to help preserve life, is now taking it, with the parent’s consent.
