Abortion
Abortion is the killing of an unborn child in his or her mother’s womb. From both a biblical and scientific perspective, life begins at the moment of fertilization. Since abortion destroys a human being who is fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image, it is murder.
Answering Abortion Arguments
Conversations around abortion and the sanctity of life are often emotionally charged, and it’s easy to get caught in the swirl of “what about” questions and scenarios that are designed to arouse sympathy in the minds of readers. These are real and weighty issues, but what is really being asked, and does it impact the morality of abortion?

When does life begin? It’s a short question, but one with profound implications and real life-and-death consequences.
How Should a Christian View Abortion?
Does the Bible provide guidance in this area? Have scientists settled the matter through their research? Abortion is not simply an issue of empirical science because scientists cannot answer the question of precisely when human life begins. Abortion is a battle between worldviews.
Does the Bible Condone Abortion?
Exodus 21:22–25 actually backfires on those who wish to use it to justify abortion because it teaches that the unborn child is just as valuable in God's eyes as the person who has already been born.
Does the “Morning After” Pill Cause Early Abortion?
The morning-after pill is an emergency contraceptive that is claimed to be able to prevent conception even after sexual union has occurred (thus the name “morning-after”). But do birth control pills, and especially morning-after pills, act only to prevent conception, or can they also cause an early abortion?
Is Our View on Abortion Important?
Our right to life, ordained by the God of the universe, is at the core of a just society. It demands the unflagging leadership of the church, as we strive to uphold life as the Life-giver meant us to. The abortion debate is far more than a mere political issue.
