Does the Bible Support Abortion? A Response to Misinterpreted Passages.

This article addresses common claims that the Bible supports abortion or infanticide by examining frequently cited passages in their proper historical and literary context. It demonstrates that texts such as Numbers 5, Hosea 9, Psalm 137, and others do not endorse the taking of unborn or infant life but instead reflect divine judgment, poetic expression, or covenant consequences. The broader witness of Scripture consistently affirms the sanctity of human life from conception, presenting life as a gift from God. Ultimately, the article argues that misusing isolated verses to justify abortion ignores the unified biblical message that upholds the value and dignity of every human life.
