What does the Bible say about abortion?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that human beings are precious creations of God, made in His image, and abortion is contrary to that truth.

Abortion is a deeply contentious issue within the Christian community, often viewed through the lens of the sanctity of human life as depicted in Scripture. Genesis 1:27 states that man was made in the image of God, establishing the inherent worth of each human life. Psalm 139:13-16 beautifully describes God's intimate involvement in the creation of each individual, emphasizing that even in the womb, a child is known and purposefully made by God. Therefore, from a sovereign grace perspective, any act that denies the right to life, such as abortion, contradicts the biblical understanding that all human life is created with divine intention and purpose. As stewards of God's creation, we are called to protect and uphold the sanctity of life.
