Because God highly values each human life, and is involved in the creation of every individual, abortion is a great offense against God and against the preborn child. God prohibits the killing of innocent people, which includes preborn babies (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 19:10; Proverbs 6:16–17). The killing of children is particularly detestable to God and invites His wrath (Jeremiah 7:30–34). God also calls us to be rescuers of those who are being killed (Proverbs 24:11; Psalm 82:3). Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh that you would choose life, that you and your descendants might live! Choose to love the LORD your God and to obey him and commit yourself to him, for he is your life. -Deuteronomy 30:19–20 NLT (Source: Journey of a Life-giver)
