In this season, we’re discussing social issues – problems that are facing our society and what the Bible has to say about these issues.

Abortion is the procedure through which the life of a child in the womb is deliberately terminated. In other words, when an abortion is performed, an unborn child (a human being) is intentionally killed.

Those who argue in favor of abortion defend the practice as a woman’s “right to choose.” They contend that arguments or legislation against abortion are hostile toward women as they are to have a right to privacy and authority over their own bodies. They often (but not always) ignore or argue against the humanity of the unborn.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Abortion became legal throughout the United States with the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court in 1973. Since that time, over 60 million abortions have been carried out in the United States.
• There were 41.9 million abortions worldwide in 2018.
• In 2015, over 91% of abortions in the United States were performed during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. However, there are some who argue for “partial birth abortion” even up to the day of birth.
