What Does The Bible Say About Abortion? Absolutely nothing! The word "abortion" does not appear in any translation of the bible!
When Does Life Begin?
According to the bible, life begins at birth--when a baby draws its first breath.The Commandments, Moses, Jesus and Paul ignored every chance to condemn abortion. If abortion was an important concern, why didn't the bible say so?
Many antiabortionists quote the sixth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill" (Ex. 20:13) as evidence that the bible is antiabortion. They fail to investigate the bible's definition of life (breath) or its deafening silence on abortion. Moreover, the Mosaic law in Exodus 21:22-25, directly following the Ten Commandments, makes it clear that an embryo or fetus is not a human being.An honest reader must admit that the bible contradicts itself. "Thou shalt not kill" did not apply to many living, breathing human beings, including children, who are routinely massacred in the bible. The Mosaic law orders "Thou shalt kill" people for committing such "crimes" as cursing one's father or mother (Ex. 21:17), for being a "stubborn son" (Deut. 21:18-21), for being a homosexual (Lev. 20:13), or even for picking up sticks on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-35)! Far from protecting the sanctity of life, the bible promotes capital punishment for conduct which no civilized person or nation would regard as criminal.

| I think Christians believe abortion is murder, and the bible clearly says murder is a sin. They look at the bible to show that murder is sin, not that abortion is murder. They use secular arguements to show that abortion is murder. |

| Abortion in my opinion is murder, which makes it a sin. Although abortions aren't mentioned in the bible, that's what I think christians think about abortions. |

| Could it be that back in the biblical days abortion was not heard of? |

I disagree that life begins at birth with the first breath. When I was pregnant my baby was very much alive, moving and growing with a beating heart! |

| But religious people don't care about a heart beat, they care about what their religion says. And, it appears that their religion says life begins with first breath. |

Well, religious people do care about a heartbeat, I wouldn't be saying that. I am religious and do care about a baby's heartbeat. The heart starts beating at 6 weeks, and we have no right to stop a beating heart by abortion, it's wrong and immoral, and yes, the Bible says do not Kill, abortion is killing.  The real question is when does life begin, not what religious people believe, and life begins at conception, there is no other way around it. |
