A New Assault on Biblical Values in the Abortion Battle – Scripture Stands Firm

Faith Facts

• Scripture confirms that life begins at conception, as evidenced by John the Baptist leaping in Elizabeth’s womb at the presence of the unborn Christ.
• Pro-abortion arguments often rely on misinterpretations of passages in Exodus and Numbers that actually emphasize the protection of future life and the sanctity of the family.
• The biblical witness consistently characterizes the destruction of children as a grave horror, never as a justified choice or a human right.

A recent claim by a political candidate suggests that the Annunciation of Mary justifies a pro-abortion stance. This interpretation fundamentally misrepresents Scripture by suggesting the angel sought Mary’s permission rather than declaring God’s sovereign will.

Throughout the Bible, from the Psalms to the Prophets, the inherent value of life in the womb is consistently affirmed as a sacred creation by God.

To suggest otherwise ignores the theological reality that both John the Baptist and Jesus were recognized as human and holy while still in their mothers’ wombs.

As believers, we must stand firm in the knowledge that every child is made in the image of God and deserves protection from the moment of conception.

Our commitment to faith and freedom requires us to defend those who cannot speak for themselves and uphold the biblical truth of life.
