The Bible doesn’t talk about abortion, but it does say when a human being’s life begins.
Genesis 2:7 is clearest. The first human became a “living being” (nefesh hayah, “a living breath”) when God blew into its nostrils and it started to breathe. Human life begins when you start breathing, biblical writers thought. It ends when you stop. That’s why the Hebrew word often translated “spirit” (ruah) — “life force” might be a better translation — literally means “wind” or “breath.”
Does that mean that it is okay to abort during the first trimester (before the 12 weeks), according to your bible?
I’m not debating Pro Choice and Pro Lifers here. I’m debating CHRISTIANS who are against abortion. Why? They say it’s because god is against murder but their own book says “until the first breath is taken”, life begins (this doesn’t happen until the second trimester, unlike what some of you have said).
I’m not saying I’m Pro Life and I’m not saying I’m Pro Choice. That isn’t the point of this question.
