.....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.
