Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that unborn babies are human beings, and their lives are precious and deserving of protection. The passage in Exodus 21:22-25 supports this contention, and the interpretation of Cottrell, Keil, and Delitzsch is in line with the data of the passage. The Bible consistently views the birth of a child as an act of God, and God's care for little ones begins at conception. This is evident in various instances, such as Ishmael's birth to an unbeliever. The unborn are human beings, and their destruction is considered an instance of the most barbarous cruelty, calling down God's judgment. The law of non-contradiction, as a statement about reality, says that what is immediately obvious to common sense is that a thing, whatever it may be, is either a human person or not a human person. There is no middle ground. From God's perspective, killing an unborn child in his mother's womb is the same as killing any other person. The unborn are individuals of the human species with their own unique DNA code, and their humanity starts at conception.

The Bible also teaches that the unborn are human beings, and their destruction is considered a grave sin. In Psalm 139, we find strong support for the value of the unborn. The Psalmist says, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13). This passage indicates that God considers the unborn to be human beings, and their lives are precious and deserving of protection. The Psalmist also says, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them" (Psalm 139:16). This passage indicates that God knows and values the unborn from the moment of conception.
