The Christian Teaching on Abortion 🔗

Abortion is murder according to God’s word on the matter, revealed in the Bible. The Bible prohibits murder because all humans are made in God’s image.

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 9:6)

“You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13)

“And Jesus said, ‘You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness.’” (Matthew 19:18)

Abortion causes the death of an unborn human that has DNA separate from its mother. As such, abortion is murder as it takes the life of a baby made in God’s image.
