>Why is Abortion Wrong?

I have read an article in favor of abortion which stated that there
is nothing wrong with killing a human infant before it is born because
it does not have a soul.
To support this statement, the writer quoted Genesis 2:7 which says
"...the Lord God formed man (of) the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
So, the writer contends, a person is not a living being until the
breath of life is in them.


This argument is ridiculous for two reasons. First of all, the
Bible only mentions this in connection with the first human. Secondly,
the "breath of life" is oxygen; and this is supplied to an infant by
the mother's blood from the time of conception.
Also, the Bible says that John the Baptist "leaped for joy" when
he was an infant inside his mother's womb. (Luke 1:41,44)

This is a quote from "What Does The Holy Bible Really Say..." by John Paulson. The is available online and in print (free) at
