“The Bible does not directly address abortion as it is understood today, but several verses are often cited by those who oppose abortion, drawing on principles of life, the sanctity of human existence, and God’s role as the creator of life. Here are some Bible verses that are commonly used to argue against abortion:”
Many of them can be understood to conform to the belief that sacred human life begins at birth, others can be ignored without rejecting fundamental beliefs.
Psalm 139:13-16 (ignore)
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Jeremiah 1:5 (ignore)
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

In a loud voice she exclaimed: ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.’”
