What does the Bible say about abortion?

1. Why do mothers line up to murder their infants 7 days a week at Orlando Women's Center?
2. Do they know that it is wrong to slay an innocent person?
3. Will they be sorry for their sin against God & the child of their flesh?
4. Do people fornicate & murder because of their circumstances?
5. Do women who kill their babies possess the knowledge that it is wrong/sin?
6. What is the mechanism God uses to bring awareness of guilt to the sinner?
7. Are they responsible for their sin?
8. Is God angry about sexual immorality & abortion?
9. What is God's 'wonderful plan' for the unrepentant women & men who fornicate & murder?
10. Does God hold the sin of aborting women & men against them?
11. Will they give an account in the Day of Judgment?
12. To whom will God grant eternal life?
13. What is God's Word to the religious hypocrite who judges others but continues to do the things God has expressly forbid?


Look for the explicit biblical answers to all of these questions & more in the following scriptures:


God’s Wrath Against Mankind

"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will give to each person according to what he has done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Romans 1:18-32, 2:1-16

Please take the time to prayerfully read the above text. It would be best if you would do so with your own study bible so that you can cross reference & read the study notes. www.biblos.com is an excellent tool for studying the Bible. You can find commentary from men like John Wesley & Matthew Henry right below each verse on that website. www.blueletterbible.com is another great resource for studying the Word of God.

I would very much like to hear the BIBLICAL answers from these scriptures (include verses please) to each of the 13 questions. Or, if you only have time to answer a few, we would welcome the truth as it is in the Bible to any of the questions.

May God bless the reading of His Word & grant us understanding & a desire to bring the remedy to man's malady. Lord Jesus, help us to be faithful to share a biblical gospel to those around us, that You might grant them repentance unto life that they would be forgiven & cleansed of sin & saved from hell. For Thy glory & the for the good of our neighbors we pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
