34. Is it lawful for a woman to have an abortion? |
|
No, it is
not lawful for a woman to have an abortion because to have an abortion is to
commit a murder in the sight of God. |
|
For when a
woman gets rid of the fetus who is in her womb she does nothing but kill a
human being (even though in this case the human being is in the making), she
breaks the commandment of God which says: “You shall not murder” (Exodus
20:13 - NKJV). That she commits a sin, is confirmed by the witness of her
conscience, which will not cease rebuking her until she repents of her sin
before God and confesses it to God. |
|
Therefore,
when a woman gets pregnant she must not think of having an abortion. |
|
Obviously,
things are completely different if she has a miscarriage, for in this case a
woman cannot be accused of having put to death a human being. |
