The teachings and contradictions of the Holy Bible show that antiabortionists do not have a "scriptural base" for their claim that their deity is "pro-life." Spontaneous abortions occur far more often than medical abortions. Gynecology textbooks conservatively cite a 15% miscarriage rate, with one medical study finding a spontaneous abortion rate of almost 90% in very early pregnancy. That would make a deity in charge of nature the greatest abortionist in history!

Then there are the dire warnings of Jesus in the New Testament:

@awgamblin1987 - The bible is not pro-child. Why did God set a bear upon 42 children just for teasing a prophet (2 Kings 2:23-24)? Far from demonstrating a "pro-life" attitude, the bible decimates innocent babies and pregnant women in passage after gory passage, starting with the flood and the wanton destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, progressing to the murder of the firstborn child of every household in Egypt (Ex. 12:29), and the New Testament threats of annihilation.

@Quinadal - 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?

Some antiabortionists cite obscure passages, usually metaphors or poetic phrasing, such as: "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5 This is sexist, but does nothing other than to invoke original sin. It says nothing about abortion.

@Quinadal - According to the bible, life begins at birth--when a baby draws its first breath. The bible defines life as "breath" in several significant passages, including the story of Adam's creation in Genesis 2:7, when God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Jewish law traditionally considers that personhood begins at birth.

@Zeeboe The Bible NEVER says that an embryo is not a human being. It says the exact opposite of that. Try reading Luke 1:39-44. ESPECIALLY: 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy. And there is no 'deafening silence' on abortion. It states CLEARLY "Thou shalt not murder' ..PERIOD.

In response to the whole abortion debate : life begis at conception. No truly Biblically literate person, without an agenda, can argue that God is okay with wholesale slaughter of Children. Scripture makes it clear that God creates and knows the unborn child. Further, God makes it clear that killing a child is no different than killing an adult. If a person supports abortion they are no different than pharoah or King Herod.



No, not an African, a Jew born in Bethlehem and from Galilee. Africa is a little to the south and west my friend, so says my map anyhow.
