Topic
The Bible and Abortion: The Status and Value of the Unborn
Thesis
The Bible clearly articulates that human life has value beyond the simple existence between birth
and death and stands adamantly against the practice of the intentional, willful, and premeditated
extinguishing of any human life prior to birth.
