"If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm
follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he
shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life..." (Ex.
21:22-23)
Those who support abortion may tell themselves that it is no great wrong to dispose of what is,
after all, only a tiny clump of cells. However, please consider that all of us human beings are
clumps of cells, and although the clump they destroy may be tiny, it is no tinier than all of us once
were. In morality, size doesn't matter. At any state of pregnancy, and by whatever method,
abortion is the intentional taking of a human life.
The Greek word "brephos" is used in Luke 1:41 to refer to the unborn child, and is the same word translated "babies" in Luke 18:15 where it states, "they were bringing even the babies to him." Thus, unborn children and babies were considered the same in the New Testament.
