A Fetus or a Human Being, a Biblical Opinion A Fetus or a Human Being, a Biblical Opinion Today in an effort to depersonalize the human being in the mother's womb the term Fetus is used. Mothers always call it a baby. Remember, the Scriptures never mention abortion, either to prohibit, or allow it. The Bible does leave us with concrete principles which allow us to draw some helpful conclusions. Human life is fashioned after God's life and that's what I believe makes the life in the womb sacred.
Lets move from the general to the specific.
Scripture tells us that each human life is a gift of God. This runs counter to the cause and effect thinking of modern materialism which tells us we have no soul and we are just animals. Job viewed himself as a unique work of God's hand, not merely the product of a biological chain of events. Blessed be the name of the Lord. This wise man believed the only one with a right to terminate life was the one who gave life, God.
