One of the gifts we need to pass on to the next generation is a firm remembrance of the sanctity of life.  If they we do not help the younger generation memorize the central passages of scripture, they will not have the intellectual strength to resist the tide of tyrrany against the unborn.

The following passages of scripture are key in building a Biblical understanding of abortion and the sanctity of life:

Genesis 1:26-27  “Let us make man in our image, according to Our likeness” …man is made in the image of God

Exodus 20:13  “Thou shalt not kill”

Psalm 139:13-16,  ‘You knit me together in my mothers womb; you formed my inward parts...your eyes saw my substance before I was unformed”  See also: Ephesians 1:4,

Jeremiah 1:5 ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew  you; before you were born I sanctified you”

Luke 1:35,41 “and it happened when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the baby leaped in her womb”  Luke 1:15  “He will be filled with the spirit, even from his mother’s womb”

Summary:

Abortion is an attack on the entire Bible.  In the Law, the Prophets, the Poetic books, the Pauline Epistles and the Gospels we find evidence of the sacredness of life in the womb and the sovereignty of God at work in conception.  There should be equal protection under the law for life in the womb.
