.....Every year in the United States of America, more than one million children are butchered by abortion doctors.
Since 1973, when the Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand, some forty-three million babies have been
slaughtered in America. Every year, an estimated forty-six million abortions occur worldwide. In three decades,
an entire generation of children has been forever eliminated. In fact, more than 20% of all babies conceived in
this country are killed before they ever see the light of day, and the slaughter continues.

.....The Bible never specifically addresses the issue of abortion. However, there are numerous teachings in
Scripture that make it abundantly clear on God’s view of abortion. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knows us before
He formed us in the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 speaks of God’s active role in our creation and formation in the
womb. Exodus 21:22-25 prescribes the same penalty for someone who causes the death of a baby in the womb as
the penalty for someone who commits murder. This clearly indicates that God considers a baby in the womb as
much of a human being as a full-grown adult. For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a woman’s right to
choose, it is a matter of the life or death of a human being made in God’s image - Genesis 1:26-27; 9:6.

.....Ninety four percent of the abortions performed in the world today are for reasons other than the life of the
mother being at risk. The vast majority of instances can be qualified under "A woman and/or her partner decide
they do not want the baby they have conceived." This is an utmost evil. Even in the more difficult 6% of
instances, abortion should never be the first option. The life of a human being in the womb is worth every effort
to allow a full-term birthing process.

.....For those who have had an abortion – the sin of abortion is no less forgivable than any other sin. Through
faith in Christ, any and all sins can be forgiven - John 3:16; Romans 8:1; Colossians 1:14. A woman who has had
an abortion, or a man who has encouraged an abortion, or even a doctor who has performed one – all can be
forgiven by faith in Jesus Christ.
