Could someone show me the verses in the bible that forbid abortion.?

Answer 1

No, but if I can show you ones in which God commands that little babies be killed.

"The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." Hosea 9:11-16

"The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die. But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die." Samuel 12:11-14

So the LORD our God handed King Og and all his people over to us, and we killed them all- men, women, and children alike. Deuteronomy 3:1-7

Answer 2

"The only statements in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible, Christian Old Testament) about the status of a fetus state that killing an unborn infant does not have the same status as killing a born human being, and mandates a much lesser penalty (a fine); it should be added that the instance cited in the Tanakh contemplates the accidental, rather than the deliberate, causing of an abortion.

The Oral Law states that the fetus is not yet a full human being until it has been born (either the head or the body is mostly outside of the mother), therefore killing a fetus is not murder, and abortion - in restricted circumstances - has always been legal under Jewish law. Rashi, the great 12th century commentator on the Bible and Talmud, states clearly of the fetus 'lav nefesh hu--it is not a person.' The Talmud contains the expression 'ubar yerech imo--the fetus is as the thigh of its mother,' i.e., the fetus is deemed to be part and parcel of the pregnant woman's body." Judaism prefers that such abortions, when necessary, take place before the first 40 days where the Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: "the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day." Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. Christians who agree with these views may refer to this idea as abortion before the "quickening" of the soul by God in the fetus.

There are two additional passages in the Talmud which shed some light on the Jewish belief about abortion. They imply that the fetus is considered part of the mother, and not a separate entity

One section states that if a man purchases a cow that is found to be pregnant, then he is the owner both of the cow and the fetus.

Another section states that if a pregnant woman converts to Judaism, that her conversion applies also to her fetus.

Answer 3

Technically there is no scripture that mentions the word abortion, but the Bible gives some clear principles such as Exodus 20:13, Genesis 9:6. God holds unborn life precious. Read Psalms 139:13-16. This scripture alone will give you hints that abortion is wrong.

Answer 4

there are many beside the one you have heard of here is some and the laws and principles behind such Ps 139 :13-16 stating that even as an embryo the babies life was sacred also EX 21 : 22,23 stating if a man injured or killed an unborn baby at any stage he was to die for having murdered the baby Gen 9:6, 1st John 3:15 Ex 20 ;13 this is God laws on the matter and he is never wrong men may change but God never does and ultimately we have an accounting before him Gorbalizer

Answer 5

Note what the Bible says at Exodus 21:22, 23 regarding the life of an unborn child: “And in case men should struggle with each other and they really hurt a pregnant woman and her children do come out but no fatal accident occurs, he is to have damages imposed upon him . . . But if a fatal accident should occur [to the mother or to the unborn child], then you must give soul for soul.” Yes, killing an unborn child was viewed as murder!

God views even an embryo as a distinct person, a living human! Psalm 139:16 says: Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,
As regards the days when they were formed
And there was not yet one among them.

Answer 6

Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb (an abortion) and dry breasts." Hosea 9:14. And from Hosea 9:16 we find, " ... yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb."

miscarry not abortion but today, Christ's most fervent followers crusade against abortion. Christ never mentioned the practice probably because there was no such word at the time,

Answer 7

Exodus 20, Romans 3; Galatians 5, Revelation 22 to name just a few.

Answer 8

You are not going to find abortion by name but you will find thou shalt not kill. People for years have been fighting over if the fetus is a living being or not, but that is a whole different discussion.

Answer 9

You shall not murder. Exodus 20:13

For You formed my inward parts
You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth
You eyes have seen my unformed substance
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me
When as yet there was not one of them
Psalm 139:13-16

(FYI there is a difference between Killing and Murder- muder is premeditated- or something that someone has planned out ahead of time) God says specifically not to murder, abortion is premeditated murder.
