God knows the preborn child. You knit me in my mother's womb . . . God also helps and calls the preborn child. You have been my guide since I was first formed . . . God . .
Scripture repeatedly condemns the killing of the innocent.
This flows from everything that has been seen so far. The killing of children is especially condemned by God through the prophets. In the land God gave his people to occupy, foreign nations had the custom of sacrificing some of their children in fire. God told His people that they were not to share in this sin. This sin of child-sacrifice, in fact, is mentioned as one of the major reasons that the Kingdom of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians and the people taken into exile.
