21. What is your position on a Constitutional ban on abortion, and why?
The Bible doesn't call abortion explicitly "abortion", but these Bible verses
on abortion address the subject:
"Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
before you were born I
sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
(Jeremiah 1:4-5).
"What then shall I do when God
rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him? Did not
He who made
me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?" (Job 31:14-15)
"For You formed my inward parts; you covered me in
my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well." (Psalm 139:13-14)
Another among the Bible verses on abortion is Luke 1:15, which states that
John the Baptist will be
"filled with the Holy Spirit, even
from his mother's womb", meaning that the fetus in the womb
has a soul for the Holy Spirit to fill.
Abortion activists often attempt heroic acrobatics in logic to try to
dismiss these Bible verses, as well as other Bible verses on abortion. But
the Bible is clear about abortion. The above Bible verses against abortion
alone indicate that abortion kills someone whom God
"formed", "sanctified" and
"made" in the womb and in whom the
Holy Spirit may already reside, and is therefore
a murderous rebellion against God.
The "choice" pregnant women have is between
keeping or giving up their babies for adoption, not killing via abortion the
"wonderfully made marvelous... works" of
God. It is an outrage that 1.3 million unborn babies are killed
annually despite these
Bible verses
against abortion, almost 100 times more than the 14,000 annually reported homicides.
