| Is Abortion Murder? |
| |
| The caption on a poster of a month old baby girl read, "If you |
| killed me today it would be murder, but if you killed me two |
| months ago it would be called abortion!" Are the 4,200 |
| abortions we Americans perform each day premeditated murders? |
| |
| In Exodus 21:22-25 God declares that if men are fighting and |
| hit a pregnant woman and the baby within her is killed, the men |
| are to be put to death for murder. God views an unborn baby a |
| person whose murder requires the death penalty. |
| |
| In Psalm 139:13 we find God directly creating in the womb of a |
| woman, "You created my inmost being; you knit me together in |
| my mother's womb." The child is a human from conception, |
| "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." (Jeremiah 1:5). |
| In Luke 1:44 evidence that the unborn child is a being capable |
| of thoughts and feelings is given when Elizabeth, who was |
| pregnant with John the Baptist, spoke to Mary, pregnant with |
| Jesus, saying "As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my |
| ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy." |
| |
| God intended a woman's womb to be the place where a new life |
| would be initiated and formed. We have often made it the scene |
| of brutal slayings of helpless little humans. We need to judge |
| ourselves before God requires settlement for this bloodshed. |
