It would not occur to many pro-abortionists that Christians might oppose abortion for other than Biblical reasons. So what?Ībortion has always been more of a scientific question than a religious one. Yes, it is true that the Bible does not mention abortion. Christians do not need the Bible to tell us that abortion is wrong, because science concludes without a shadow of a doubt that the preborn child is a human being and reasonable people can agree that it is wrong to kill innocent human beings. But we can also extend such reasoning to include abortion. Of course they are half-right ― these sins are against the law of nature and nature’s God, so they are unjustified by any means. Some people mock Christians who look to the Bible for moral direction, claiming that people should not need the Bible in order to know that certain acts, such as murder and stealing, are wrong. The “Bible and abortion” argument is a mere diversion, like all of the other pro-abortion slogans. Does this mean that Christians should not oppose these evil acts either?
After all, Scripture does not specifically condemn many other evils, such as pyramid schemes, terrorism, carjacking and kidnapping. However, this allegation falls prey to the logical fallacy of assuming that because an act is not mentioned in Scripture, the Bible therefore approves of that act. The statement that abortion is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible is technically correct. What are pro-life Christians to make of the “Bible and abortion” argument? The Argument Doesn’t Hold He never said a word about abortion (nor did anyone else in the Bible) even though abortion was available and in use in his time.” 3
Maguire says, “There has been no systematic thinking in Jewish Christian tradition on abortion. Pro-abortionists sometimes claim that there is nothing forbidding abortion in the Bible.
