Church's Argument Against Abortion

The church is pro-life, therefore against abortion. There have been many instances in the Bible where God wants people to choose life instead of death. In Deuteronomy 30:19, God says. “I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may life, you and your descendants.” (“Deuteronomy 30:19”). Since the beginning, God has always wanted for people to choose life.

As mentioned before, the church sees life as sacred. Villegas is still enforcing that abortion is morally wrong because it goes against the belief of the church. For 2,000 years, it has been taught that human life begins at conception. God’s creation of every child is unique and unrepeatable. In the first century taught in the Didache, the Church Fathers taught that, “you shall not kill the fruit of the womb.” (“Bible Forbids Abortion”). Abortion is a sin that needs to be enforced everywhere because it goes against the beliefs of the
