Lately, the misconception that abortion isn't in the Bible is being used again as an argument.
The term “abortion,” may not be found anywhere in the Bible, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
Abortion is the deliberate taking of life, therefore it is murder.
The evil act is compounded by the fact that abortion is the murder of an innocent and the most vulnerable of all men.
Here is the verse that defines the unborn as an innocent:
Romans 9
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.
11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:
...and, here is a verse that condemns abortion:
Proverbs 6
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
Not only that, it is also being argued that God thinks so low of the unborn that He compared him to a slug!
The Fetus Has A Soul
Some argue that the unborn has no soul. They want to say that because without a soul, it means the unborn is not a human being. And if the fetus isn't a human being, then it wouldn't be murder.
Human life is sacred. It has dignity. WHY? Because God has implanted his image within every one of us! The image of God refers to
that part of humanity that is IMMATERIAL, (i.e. SOUL).
The human soul is that part of the human that isn't physical.

And God had given it long before we were born.
God told Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart.” Jer 1:5
And, Psalm 139:13 declares, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb."
How many verses from various prophets from various timelines describe the care and personal touch rendered by God on the fetus: “Formed thee in the womb.” Jeremiah, Job, Isaiah, and Psalmists.

Abortion on Christian Grounds
A discussion with a Christian elder led to the issues of abortion and gay marriage. To my surprise, he stated that, "the pages are blank" on those issues - meaning they're not in the Bible. It is true. Nowhere in the Bible does it explicitly state, "Thou shalt not abort"....but I don't think the...
