Transcript 214A — Is Abortion Right or Wrong?
HC: Good evening. Welcome to Open Forum.
CALLER: Good evening. I have a question on abortion. Could I get some scriptures on it please?
HC: The question you're raising is on abortion? Is it right or is it wrong?
CALLER: I know it's s wrong, but I'd like to get some scriptures on it.
HC: One of the best passages that speaks to the question of abortion is found in Genesis 9:6. God declares there that "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Now when that unborn baby is aborted by the action of the mother, with the help of the doctor, and so on, they are actually shedding the blood of that baby. They are taking the life of that baby. And this is murder. This is not be done.
The Bible teaches in Psalm104 that babies are created in the womb of the mother by the activity of God. God is the one who creates that baby. It is God who is the giver of life, and He is the one that ought to take life. Mankind is not to take the life of another human being.
