What Torah Says About
The Sanctity of Life
All human life is sacred and begins at conception (defined as the moment of fertilization). Each unborn child is a unique, living human being, created in the image of God, and must be respected and protected both before and after birth. The abortion of an unborn child or the active, intentional taking of human life through euthanasia or assisted suicide constitutes a violation of the sanctity of human life and is a crime against God and man (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17; Psalm 51:5; 1 Corinthians 15:49; James 2:11). Simply stated, abortion is the murder of an infant.
Pregnancies due to rape,
incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the
mental well-being of the mother are not acceptable excuses for the murder of
an infant.
Since the “reproductive freedom” and “freedom of choice” proponents are doing so for personal benefit to avoid the “inconvenience” of having to raise a child as a “consequence” of their immorality, their actions are identical to the worship of Moloch (another name for HaSatan), when children were roasted alive on the idol’s outstretched arms to obtain personal prosperity.
While the Scriptures are clear that all human life is sacred, given by God, and to be revoked only at His pleasure, capital punishment is also clearly taught in the Scriptures, so that evil may be put away from among God’s people. However, Torah required the testimony of two or three reliable witnesses before the death penalty may be imposed. (Deut. 13:5; 17:7, 12; 19:19; 21:21; 22:19-24; 24:7)
