where in the bible does it talk about abortion? 10 points!?

God considers any unborn baby to be alive.

God considers the loss of that life by another's hands to be murder.

Exodus 21

22 "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

1) If a woman gives birth prematurely, but there is no serious injury--i.e. the baby lives without harm,

then a fine results to compensate for the assault.

2) If a woman gives birth prematurely, and the baby dies, then the assailant is to be given the death penalty. This point is HUGE!!! What God is saying here is that the value and worth of an adult man is equal to the value and worth of an unborn fetus who was young enough, or injured enough, to die. God equates the loss of an unborn baby as the loss of a life, for He says, "you are to take life for life,..." This point cannot be emphasized too strongly. God considers the unborn baby alive, and the loss of that life is considered murder. This murder is punishable with the death penalty. This verse demonstrates three truths:

a) The unborn's life is equivalent in value to an adult's life in God's sight

b) This also outlines God's Law against criminal feticide.

c) The killing of the unborn is murder

_____________________________________________________________________________ God created us in our mother's womb

Psalm 139

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.

Psalm 139 and DNA; God's "book" of our members

Job 31:15

Did not He who made me in the womb make them [Job's servants]?

Did not the Same One for us both within our mothers?

1) We are a unique creation of God. We were formed directly by God before we were born. This means that unborn babies are special to God. Should we abort a baby that God is working on? Should we interrupt Him and destroy his "wonderful" masterpiece????

2) The womb is intended to be a place where God works His creative action, not where man works his destructive action.

The Bible tells us that life begins at conception

Psalm 51:5

"Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me."

Here the Bible states that David [and all mankind] were sinful at the moment of conception. Surely we could not use the term "sinful" to describe a piece of tissue that is not alive! To be "sinful" you would at least have to be alive! As humans we have inherited a sin nature [a.k.a. the flesh]. This sin nature was inherited at the moment of conception. A sinful nature is not found in "primordial tissue" that is without life. The term "sinner" refers then to those who are alive.

Judges 13:7

""But he said to me, 'You will conceive and give birth to a son.'"

This phrase is used quite often in the Bible; "conceive and give birth to a son". Notice that the term "conceive" is the beginning of the process that leads to birth. Conceiving and birthing are events. These events happen with a woman and a son [or daughter]. The Bible does not say, "You will conceive tissue, which shall become a baby, and then you will give birth to a son." The sentence describes events that take place involving "a son". This concept, in conjunction with Psalm 51 shows that the Bible speaks very freely and often about life as beginning at conception.

____________________________________________________________________________ The Bible uses the term "Baby" whether he/she is born or unborn

Luke 1

41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

1) Here an unborn "fetus" is referred to as a "baby". The greek word "BREPHOS" refers to a baby, whether he/she is unborn or not. In Luke 2:12, the angels announce to the shepherds in the field that they will find the baby Jesus wrapped and lying in a manger. The word "baby" here is "BREPHOS" again.

2) The Bible makes no distinction, and has no separate word for a baby who is unborn versus a baby who is born.

The Bible says that you must not kill. But then the question arises, when is a new life created? If life is created at conception, then abortion is killing (and so is the morning after pill). If life is created when the heart of the new foetus starts beating, then abortion before about the 10th week is not killing.

It is not the Bible that is at issue; it's the challenge of deciding when life is created. If there is no life then there is no killing. The argument is not about the Bible, it is about the definition of life in the foetus.

"Thou shalt not commit murder!" and many many other places throught the entire Bible, Jesus tells us that murdering is a sin!

Now I realize that people do not want to accept this, and they don't think it applies, because they don't want to think that they are killing an actual baby, so they call it a fetus.... Now really think about this. If someone just found out they were pregnant, and they were happy and wanted the baby, they would call it A BABY! But what happens when people decide they don't want it? To deal with the fact that they are snuffing out an innocent child's life, they say oh it's just a fetus. So the child inside you changes forms depending on if you want it or not? no! It's a baby, either way! And abortion is murder in God's eyes! Every life is precious, no matter how young, or how old!

People also need to think of how they would feel if their parents had decided they didn't want them. If they had just let the dr suck them out and throw them away like trash... I am not being mean, I'm just being truthful, that is what they do you know, among many other truly horrible things!

And I really encourage anyone who is thinking of abortion-PLEASE, let your child live! Don't take it's life away! If you don't want to be a parent well fine then, but please allow someone else provide a warm and loving home for him or her! There are so many people out their who want a baby, who can't have them.... I'm standing up for these children without a voice, and God is too! Let them live!!

Exodus 23:26 states that anyone ending the life of an unborn child would not be anyone permitted to live in Israel. Further, Exodus 21:22-25 explains that even if there is no damage to the unborn, damages are to be paid. If there is a fatal accident, it is soul for soul.

The Bible actually has no direct issue with abortion. Xians' justification for the "pro-life" position seems to be that they consider abortion murder and God says not to murder in the 10 commandments.

Nowhere. The anti-choice people (I refuse to call them pro-life, as most of them are hypocrites who gladly bomb other countries and send our troops to their deaths. Doesn't sound "pro-life" to me.) just make the argument that abortion is murder, even if you've been raped by your brother. But, no, the two-week old fetus that doesn't have functioning organs is so much more important than the living, thinking woman. Hypocrites and idiots.

God and the Bible are not against abortion or killing babies:

First, about 1/3 of all pregnancies end in a natural abortion. This makes God (who supposedly controls everything) the biggest abortionist of all.

Leviticus 27:6

If it is a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver.

[NOTE: Babies have just monetary value, not moral value, and no value is placed on fetuses or babies less than one month old.]

Numbers 5:21

here the priest is to put the woman under this curse of the oath - "may the LORD cause your people to curse and denounce you when he causes your thigh to waste away and your abdomen to swell (causes you to have a miscarrying womb and barrenness)."

Exodus 21:22,23

"If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [has a miscarriage] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life."

Hosea 9:14

Give them, O LORD — what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry.

Hosea 13:16

... because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.

2 Kings 15:16

At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

Numbers 31:17

"And kill every woman who has slept with a man."

Psalm 137:8-9

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Haven't you asked this question before?

I answered last time pretty much with what *godless* said, so I'm not going to repeat myself.

I'm sorry but I doubt you will find the answer you are looking for, regardless of how many times you post this.

Abortion is a term coined long after the bible, so you won't find it in there.

However, the bible is clearly against the concept of abortion. You know, verses like, "Do not murder" and things like that.

thou shalt not kill , i'll just take the 2 for starters

driving while drunk is not in the bible either .
