The Augusta News-Review February 18,1984
by Bro. R. Williams
The central theological
question related to the
problem of abortion is
whether the unborn fetus
is a living person with full
rights of life. These are at
least five views: Human
life begins (1) at the,
moment of conception,
(2) when life or
“quickening” is felt by
the mother, (3) when the
fetus could survive out
side the mother’s
womb —about seven

months, (4) at birth, and
(5) sometime after birth.
Numerous penetrating
questions are let loose on
this subject. Is a non
viable fetus more
valuable that the other
children who demand a
mother’s attention? Is
termination of a
pregnancy preferable to
bringing a child into what
has little chance of being
a happy life? Is it even
fair to compel it to stay

Do we have the right to
force a woman who has
gone through the horrible
experience of being raped
to bear in her body for
nine months a growing

number one question —Is
the unborn fetus a living
person with full rights of
life. Let us check out the
Bible concerning this
question. David did not
think of humanity as tied
to the moment of birth;
listen to his own words.:
For thou has possessed
my reins: thou has
covered me in my
mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I
am fearfully and wonder
fully made: marvellous
are thy works; and that
my soul knoweth right
well.
My substance was not
hid from thee, when I was
made in secret, and
curioiusly wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth.
(Psalm 139:13-15). Job
gives more evidence
about life in the womb:
Did not he that made
me in the womb make
him? And did not one
fashion us in the womb?
(Job 31:15).
Dr. Luke informs us
that John the Baptist
leaped in his mother’s
womb:
And it came to pass,
that, when Elizabeth
leaped in his mother’s
Dr. Luke informs us
that John the Baptist
leaped in his mother’s
womb:
And it came to pass,
that, when Elisabeth
heard the salutation of
Mary, the babe leaped in
her womb; and Elisabeth
was filled with the Holy
Ghost: (Luke 1:41).
These passages indicate
that life begins in the
womb and not at birth. If
there is no life there, what
is everyone so concerned
about destroying. Life is
a gift from God. Paul

says, “He giveth life and
breath to all things” (Ac
ts 17:25). Ringing
throughout the Bible is
the divine injunction,
“Thou shalt not kill”
(Romans 13:9).
Irresponsible pregnan
cies will increase when
there is no respect for
human life. It is stated
that 70 percent of all who
have abortions are unwed
mothers. Unmarried
couples selfishly indulge
in sexual pleasure and
then when pregnancy oc
curs they want to destroy
that life that would cause
them embarrassment or
some limitations.
The same is true of
some married
professional women who
choose to abort.

not have an abortion for
any reason except the
woman’s life or health is
endangered which makes
this a medical decision by
qualified physicians.
We must teach people
what God has to say con
cerning the matter. We
must teach young people
and adults to honor the
principles of sexual
morality as taught by
Jesus. Virtuous young
people and adults who
abstain from sex until
marriage are never faced
with the decision about
abortion. God’s way is
the best way.
We must stay with God
regardless of what the
population and societal
experts tell us what is
necessary to attain a true
quality of life. If you stay
