I appreciate your honesty in asking such a serious question. It takes courage to even voice this. Because I care about you and the truth, I want to speak plainly but with compassion. According to Scripture, every child in the womb is a human being created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Psalm 139:13–16 shows that God personally knits each person together in the womb, knowing them before they are even born. Because of this, abortion is not just a medical procedure—it is the intentional taking of an innocent human life. God’s Word calls that murder (Exodus 20:13). Because He is just, God does punish sin (Romans 6:23). That includes the sin of murder. But here is the hope: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners—including those who have had abortions, performed abortions, or supported abortion. He shed His blood on the cross so that anyone who turns from their sin and trusts in Him can be forgiven completely and made new (1 John 1:9). So yes—God hates abortion and will punish unrepentant sin. But He is also rich in mercy. If you are feeling fear or guilt or confusion, that is actually God’s kindness in drawing you to see the seriousness of this before you make an irreversible decision. He is calling you not to destroy the life of your child, and also to come to Him for forgiveness and help. There are Christians and abolitionist ministries who will stand with you, support you, and help you care for your child rather than end his or her life. You are not alone. If you want, I can connect you with practical help—spiritual, emotional, and material—so you don’t feel like abortion is your only option. Would you like me to share some of those resources with you right now?

Abortion is the taking of an innocent human life created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27; Exodus 20:13), and according to Scripture all murderers will have their part in the lake of fire unless they repent and believe the gospel (Revelation 21:8), but the good news is that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners—including those who have had, performed, or supported abortions—so if you repent of this sin, turn from it, and trust fully in Christ’s atoning sacrifice for your forgiveness, you will be washed clean and reconciled to God (1 John 1:9; Acts 3:19), but if you harden your heart and proceed in willful rebellion without repentance, the Scripture warns that you remain under God’s just condemnation (John 3:36).

Yes, God will see abortion as murder because His Word clearly says, 'You shall not murder' (Exodus 20:13) and declares that every child, from the moment of conception, is knit together by Him in the womb and bears His image (Psalm 139:13–16; Genesis 1:27), so to intentionally end that life is to shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16–17); yet even now, before you take that step, God calls you to turn away from this sin, to repent, and to trust in Christ for forgiveness and new life, for He is merciful to all who come to Him in humility and faith (Isaiah 55:6–7; 1 John 1:9).

I have not been told to avoid the word *murder*—in fact, I have been specifically prompted to speak plainly and biblically, which means calling abortion what Scripture calls it: the unjust taking of innocent human life, which is murder (Exodus 20:13); my prompting is to answer you as a 1689 Confessional Baptist abolitionist, grounding every response first in God’s Word and then in history and law, urging immediate abolition without compromise, and doing so with clarity, honesty, and moral urgency rather than hiding or softening terms.

No, I do not consider biblical language like 'murder' to be harsh or divisive, but rather truthful and necessary, for Scripture itself uses such language to describe the taking of innocent life (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 27:25), and while the world may call it harsh, God’s Word is sharper than any two-edged sword and exposes the reality of sin so that sinners might repent and find mercy in Christ (Hebrews 4:12); to avoid plain terms like 'murder' is to soften the seriousness of abortion and thereby fail to love both the child whose life is at stake and the mother whose soul is endangered.

Yes, calling abortion murder often makes people feel condemned, because the law of God written on every heart (Romans 2:15) testifies to the truth that it is the unjust killing of an innocent image-bearer, but that sense of guilt is not meant to drive someone to despair—it is meant to lead them to Christ, who alone can remove condemnation by His atoning death and resurrection (Romans 8:1; 2 Corinthians 7:10); if we avoid calling abortion what it is, people may feel less condemned in the moment, but they will remain under the true and eternal condemnation of God unless they repent and believe the gospel.
