Thinking Biblically about Abortion Psalm 139 :13 – 16 For you created my inmost being; For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Job 31:15 NIV 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?

Psalm 127:3 3 Children are a heritage from the L ORD, offspring a reward from him. Psalm 106:37 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods Romans 12:2 (NIV) 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. JB Phillips - Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould,
