"The Bible says of our Creator, "In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being" (Job 12:10). God, the giver of life, commands us not to take the life of an innocent person: "Do not shed innocent blood" (Jeremiah 7:6); "Cursed is the man who accepts a bribe to take innocent person" (Deuteronomy 27: 25).

"You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). Taking the life of the unborn is clearly murder--"He didn't kill me in the womb, with my mother as my grave" (Jeremiah 20:17)--and God vowed to punish those who "ripped open the mother with child" (Amos 1:13). The unborn child was granted equal protection in the law;if he lost his life, the one who CAUSED his death MUST lose his own life: "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined...But if their is serious injury, you are to take life for life." (Exodus 21:22,23).

Life is a gift created by God, and is not to be taken away by abortion. God is Pro-Choice, but He tells us clearly the ONLY acceptable choice to make:

"I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." (Deuteronomy 30:19)
