What does the Bible say about abortion?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible condemns abortion and values human life, emphasizing the sanctity of life from conception.

In Scripture, the value of human life is evident from its beginning, and abortion is seen as a violation of God's command to preserve life. For instance, the account in Exodus highlights the commands given by Pharaoh to kill Hebrew male infants—an act considered infanticide. The refusal of the midwives to comply demonstrates a profound respect for life based on their fear of God and acknowledgment of human dignity. Additionally, references such as Psalm 139 emphasize how God intricately forms life in the womb, recognizing the unborn as fully human beings crafted by His design.
Scripture References: Exodus 1:15-22, Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:4-5
