Jewish Scripture Verses from the Bible on Pro Life and Abortion

Is Abortion Right or Wrong - Pro-Life Scripture Verses |
On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in the infamous Roe v. Wade decision. As Christians, we need to remember that what is legal is not necessarily moral in God's sight. Morality is not determined by popular or judicial opinion, but by what the Bible says. So I want us to look at what the Bible says about abortion. I could argue against abortion without reference to the Bible. It is a human atrocity. But since most of you accept the Bible as God's inspired Word, I want to explain what it says on this important subject.
The Bible gives us God's absolute moral standards that apply to every culture and every age. Furthermore, the Bible warns that God will judge every person based on His righteous standards (Acts 17:31; Rev. 20:11-15). We cannot plead ignorance as an excuse for disobedience or apathy (Prov. 24:11-12). God holds us accountable to the standards of His Word, whether we know those standards or not.
What does Bible Scripture Verses say about Abortion?
There are many Bible scripture verse passages on abortion. The accounts of the creation of man and woman in Genesis (Genesis 1:26-31; 2:4-25) tell us this: "God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27). The word "create" is used three times here, emphasizing a special crowning moment in the whole process of God’s making the world and everything in it. The man and woman are given "dominion" over everything else in the visible world. This is the foundation of marriage.Not even the original sin takes away the image of God in human beings. St. James refers to this image and says that because of it we should not even speak ill of one another:
James 3:9-10
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
