A lot of people claim that abortion is just a religious issue, or it's Christians imposing

their religion on other people. But I find that when it comes to abortion, it's pro-choicers

who always want to bring up religion, and they always want to run away from the scientific and

philosophical case for the pro-life position. So in today's episode, we will refute pro-choice

distortions of the Bible and church history.

Let's start with some common Bible verses that pro-choice advocates twist in order to support abortion.

First, there's Genesis 2.7, which says,

The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,

and man became a living being.

The only scripture that says when life begins is in Genesis 2, when they are filled with

the breath of life. So the claim is that the Bible teaches that life begins when you take

your first breath, because Adam became a living being when he breath.

And they claim this happens at birth, not a conception. But what's wrong with this argument?

First, it proves too much. Many babies do not breathe immediately at birth. Some can take up to a

minute to breathe on their own. This argument would justify infanticide as well as abortion.

Number two, the unborn do breathe before they're born,

but they do so through an umbilical cord rather than through their mouths.

Even before they develop their umbilical cord,

the unborn absorb oxygen through the lining of their cells in a process called respiration.

And finally, God had to infuse an immortal soul directly into Adam, or breathe the breath of life into him, because Adam was the first human being, but all other human beings come into existence from other human beings.

So the requirement that God must breathe life into them, just as he did for Adam,

is unsupported. The biblical authors knew there was human life in the womb before birth,
