God is God \u2014 He has abilities that human beings do not, and it is not immoral for God to end a human life. It <em>is<\/em> immoral, however, for a <em>human being<\/em> to end the life of another, innocent human being. Humans are clearly not God.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider how heart surgeons have permission to cut open the chests of children. It\u2019s not immoral for <em>them<\/em> to do so because they have <em>specific abilities<\/em> and <em>purposes<\/em> that other people don\u2019t. A surgeon can cut open a child\u2019s chest for the purpose of healing that child, and then can <em>mend<\/em> the incision afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, God is not immoral if He chooses to take life \u2014 because He alone can <em>reverse<\/em>\u00a0death and <em>resurrect<\/em> all human beings as well. God alone knows the purpose and number of days for each human life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Objection #2: God tells Abraham to sacrifice Isaac<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another common objection to the truth that the Bible is pro-life is the story of Abraham and Isaac, in which God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on an altar. Ultimately, God stops Abraham, and Isaac is not killed, but many Christians continue to wonder why God commanded such an act that is seemingly in opposition to the concept of being pro-life.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It isn&#8217;t. The intention of Abraham\u2019s act was not that Isaac would stay dead, but that he would be raised to life from the altar. Abraham had two clear messages from God that conflicted. The first was that God had promised that through Isaac, Abraham would have countless descendants who would bless all nations. The second was that God commanded Abraham to put Isaac to death on the altar. It\u2019s in thinking through these clashing messages that Abraham, according to the author of Hebrews, \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Hebrews+11%3A17-19&amp;version=NASB1995\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">considered<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that God is able to raise people even from the dead.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abraham realized that God\u2019s promise of countless descendants could not come true if Isaac remained dead on the altar. So, God would then have to raise Isaac back to life in order to remain true to His promise. Abraham is challenged with the question, \u201cDo I have faith that God is so true to His promises that He will even reverse death in order to accomplish them?\u201d Abraham did have such faith, which meant that the intent of Abraham\u2019s act was not that Isaac would die and stay dead.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Objectors may argue that Abraham\u2019s action still violated the natural law principle that \u201cit is always wrong to kill an innocent human being.\u201d Consider this situation: Two heart surgeons work as a team on a child&#8217;s surgery. The role of the first doctor is to cut the incision in the child\u2019s chest, and the role of the second doctor is to fix the issue with the child&#8217;s heart and then mend the incision afterward. In isolation, the action of the first doctor to cut open the child&#8217;s chest is deadly to the child. But the first doctor is not acting alone, he\u2019s acting together with the second doctor, who has promised to heal and to mend the child. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So no, Abraham\u2019s actions do not violate the natural law principle that it\u2019s always wrong to kill an innocent human being.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Read further analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/bibleproject.com\/articles\/why-did-god-ask-abraham-to-sacrifice-isaac\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Objection #3: When a pregnant woman is struck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A third objection to the Bible being pro-life is found in Exodus 21:22, which states, &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now if people struggle with each other and strike a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, but there is no injury, the guilty person shall certainly be fined as the woman\u2019s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eye for eye.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Abortion supporters claim that &#8220;further injury&#8221; refers only to an injury to the mother, and claim that the child died from premature birth. The penalty of a fine would therefore place <em>less value<\/em> on the life of the child versus physical harm to the mother.<\/p>\n<p>This is a misreading of the text.<\/p>\n<p>According to Oxford Academics, the <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cb\/article\/29\/1\/11\/7103199\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reading<\/span><\/a> refers to both the mother <em>and<\/em> the child, which is why details about &#8220;further injury&#8221; are not specified. With this understanding, the injuries to the mother and the child warrant the same payment or punishment for the injuries caused, supporting the pro-life position.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read further analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/Exodus-21-22-23-abortion.html\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Objection #4: The adultery test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A fourth objection to the Bible being pro-life is the &#8220;adultery test&#8221; of Numbers 5. It says that if a husband suspects that his wife has committed adultery, he can take her to a priest, who will have her drink bitter water. If she is guilty, the water will &#8220;make her abdomen swell and her thigh waste away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The pro-abortion argument is that this is an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Bible states that if the woman is <em>not<\/em> guilty, &#8220;she will then be free and conceive children&#8221; \u2014 which makes the safe assumption that the woman in the example is not pregnant. Therefore, the idea that a woman would suffer an induced (forced) abortion if she <em>is<\/em> guilty is a misinterpretation of the text.<\/p>\n<p>It would not make sense for the punishment to only apply to pregnant women, because even women who are not pregnant could be guilty of adultery and brought before a priest. The punishment would have to affect them too \u2014 not just women who happened to be pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the punishment for the guilty persons is physical suffering and infertility \u2014 not induced abortion.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read further analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/Numbers-abortion.html\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Objection #5: The destruction of the Canaanites<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A fifth objection regards the killing of other human beings by Israelite armies. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scripture makes it sound as if God commands the Israelite armies to kill innocent people, including noncombatants, women and infants, specifically during the driving out of the Canaanites.<i>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>The Bible states that God commanded the Israelites to &#8220;utterly destroy&#8221; the Canaanites.<\/p>\n<p>When specifically speaking of the Canaanites, the Bible context is that the Canaanites were given 400 years&#8217; warning to leave the land and to stop committing horrific and evil acts \u2014 such as child sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies of Ancient Near Eastern conquest accounts reveal that the language of \u201cutter annihilation\u201d has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/lexicons\/hebrew\/nas\/charam.html\">a few possible meanings<\/a>, one of which is &#8220;to ban.&#8221; Sometimes the language is used in a hyperbolic sense, similar to how people today would say, \u201cBrazil\u2019s soccer team utterly destroyed USA\u2019s team.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JqOqJlFF_eU&amp;t=16s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joshua 10<\/a> says that Joshua \u201cutterly destroyed every person . . . [he] left no survivor\u201d in the cities of Hebron and Debir, in Joshua 15, those exact cities are still inhabited. A literal reading of this situation is impossible, and therefore the language of the author must be considered hyperbolic. And <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Deuteronomy 7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Israelites are commanded to drive out the Canaanites and then to utterly destroy them, and then later they are instructed not to intermarry with them or do business deals with them. (You can\u2019t marry or do a business deal with someone you have literally destroyed.) And therefore, \u201cutter annihilation\u201d is likely to have been used either hyperbolically or to have been meant as a complete &#8220;driving out&#8221; of the Canaanites from the land God promised to the Israelites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Click here for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JqOqJlFF_eU?si=fKsjhxIsmqG8L3Z_&amp;t=294\">more<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/Canaanites-extermination.html\">click here<\/a> to read an additional perspective.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Objection #6: Dashing &#8216;little ones&#8217; against the rock<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another major argument that the Bible is not pro-life focuses on Psalm 137, which states, &#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is vital to understand that the writer of this psalm was a victim of the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon \u2014 a horrific event in which the city was laid under siege, the temple was burned, thousands of Jews were deported to Babylon, and thousands were killed, including Jewish children who were dashed against the rocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The psalmist has been deported to Babylon, and his captors are demanding he sing a song. The psalmist remembers Jerusalem being razed to the ground \u2014 and the children who were killed. He sings:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How blessed will be the one who repays you<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the recompense with which you have repaid us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against the rock.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The critical <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/dashing-babies-against-rocks.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">subtext<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of this is the psalmist saying <em>he<\/em> will <em>not<\/em> seek to do to Babylon what Babylon did to Jerusalem \u2014 namely, kill Babylonian children. The psalmist is expressing his desire for revenge (to do to his enemy what was done to him) but ultimately he hands vengeance over to God. This is why he says, \u201cBlessed be the <strong><em>one<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d (emphasis added) that is, the one who is NOT me. He is saying, \u201cI know I can trust God to see that justice is done, and so I will not take revenge into my own hands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Bible recognizes the humanity of babies in the womb and every human being from conception until death. God also commands that no innocent human being, inside the womb or out, be killed at any stage of life \u2014 the very core of pro-life principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/ARQQhk1\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
