Disadvantages of Abortion
When a woman is pregnant but doesn't want the kid, abortion is widely regarded as a legal option in many nations throughout the world. Women should have the freedom to choose whether or not to end their pregnancies, according to abortion advocates.
Abortion opponents contend that a fetus is a developing human being who has the fundamental right to life. Therefore, abortion is regarded as murder.
Let's investigate what the Bible has to say about God's perspective on abortion as this argument literally affects people's lives.
A fetus is it a human?
According to the Bible, it is forbidden for people to murder other people: "You shalt not murder" (Exodus 20:13). (For further information on the distinction between murder and lawful killing, see this article.)Killing helpless children is abhorrent in God's eyes (see e.g. Jeremiah 32:35, Psalm 94:6-10).
Determining whether a fetus is already a human person or just a collection of cells, as some people contend, is critical in the discussion of abortion.
There are varying perspectives on the precise moment an embryo becomes a person and the beginning of human life. Some believe that this begins with conception, while others believe it begins with the first heartbeat or with the placement of the embryo in the mother's uterus. But all of this takes place well before the majority of abortions are carried out—in the first three weeks following conception.
