Regardless to whether some people within the Christian community are OK with legalized abortion for one reason or the other, the all-important question we ought to ask – “Is God OK with legalized abortion? Is God glorified in abortion?” As Christians, we are to stand in the side of what is right account to God’s word. God instituted the civil government whose principal task and regards is to protect, maintain and sustain the sanctity of human life. In Scripture (Exodus 20:13), the sixth commandment – “Murder not” is specifically directed to murder in cold-blood or killing with passionate rage, or with impunity. The sixth commandment is specifically directed to taking of life unjustly or unlawfully, reason being that taking life unlawfully and unjustly violates Gods sovereignty and robs God of his glory.
Proven in the Bible (Proverbs 6:16-17), murder is an absolute abomination to the Lord. God is seriously against hands that shed innocent blood. The Bible makes it clear that the blood of the innocent cries out to God (Genesis 4:10). David said of the Lord, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, everyone them, the days that were appointed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm 139:16. For us Christians, life is gift and a mystery. God is the one who gives life and He alone can take away life and this is why abortion, euthanasia, infanticide have created a culture of unlawful death of breaking of God’s sixth commandment. And once we legalise a culture of death, there is no stopping.
