Many people are against abortion due to their religious beliefs. But does the Bible say anything specifically on abortion? The Bible never actually mentions the word “abortion”. As a result some have concluded that it does not prohibit the practice while others feel it should never be an option. First, it is important to understand that the Bible is uniformly committed to the sanctity of human life. Man is created in the image of God, so to take an innocent life is equivalent to killing God himself. That is the basis for the commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” Next we must examine the Bible’s teaching on when human life begins. T

In this instance, a woman has been so injured that she has aborted her child. The law states that if “no harm follows” the outsider must pay the husband a fine. An abortion has been induced through violence and this is not considered harmful. Therefore, it is not a violation of the commandment “thou shalt not kill”.

In the state of Texas there is a law that prohibits all abortions except those performed to save the life of the mother. The Supreme Court held that law unconstitutional. Many people have different opinions about abortion, but the opinion varies on the situation. Many women have abortions if they are raped. It all varies on the circumstances. Abortion today, is still a highly controversial issue, but it is said that the mother is given the right to an abortion, to a certain extent. Women should be given the right to decide what is best for them because every person has a different viewpoint. The question of abortion will still be around until everyone agrees and that doesn’t seem to be any time soon.

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court made its decision for the case of Roe vs. Wade. They announced that the United States constitution protects a woman’s right to decide whether or not to end a pregnancy. Seven justices voted in favor of this case of the right to an abortion under limited circumstances, and two were not in favor of the case. The immediate effect was to make the current abortion laws invalid in every state but New York. The Roe vs. Wade case was first argued in 1971 and then again in 1972, both failed. The case was a suit brought to determine both Jane Roe’s rights, and more importantly, the rights of all women in the same or similar situation. Some people think that a woman’s right to decide whether or not to end her pregnancy is a fundamental right, part of a “right to privacy.”

It cannot be proper to negotiate moral principles. It cannot be proper to allow a man only a portion of the freedom he requires by his nature. What about the fetus? Does it have rights that must be respected? Those questions are brought up every day. Some think fetuses and embryos are not actual human beings. Others fight that they should have rights too. The function of the law is to protect rights, not to dictate moral issues, which involve no violation of rights. No government, no state, no collective has any “interest” apart from the individuals of which it is composed. Our constitution was designed, not as a charter for government power, but as a protection against government power. If Roe vs. Wade is reconsidered, the Supreme Court should affirm abortion as a right that cannot be invaded or compromised.
