The term "abortion" as it is understood today does not explicitly appear in the Bible, but the issue of life and the sanctity of human existence is addressed in various passages. The Bible emphasizes the value of life from the moment of conception. For instance, Psalms 139:13-16 reflects on God's involvement in the creation of life in the womb, stating, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb." This suggests a divine purpose and intentionality in the formation of each individual, which many interpret as an indication of the significance of unborn life.Additionally, Exodus 21:22-25 discusses the consequences of a man causing a pregnant woman to miscarry, indicating that the loss of the unborn child carries serious implications. The passage implies that the unborn child holds value, as the punishment for causing a miscarriage is severe. This has led many biblical scholars and theologians to argue that the Bible upholds the sanctity of life, thereby opposing practices such as abortion. While the Bible does not provide a direct teaching on abortion, these passages contribute to the broader theological understanding that life is sacred and begins before birth.
