Claiming to know the Bible doesn't make one an expert.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with The Point.

Recently in a speech of a Georgia church, rising progressive star Stacey Abrams,

after noting her parents had both been pastors, declared,

I was trained to read and understand the Bible.

And I'll tell you this, there's nothing about the decision to eliminate access to abortion

that is grounded in anything other than cruelty and meanness.

However, the way the Bible speaks of preborn children does eliminate abortion as a moral option.

In Psalm 139, the psalmist declares, for you form my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother's

womb. Prophet Jeremiah was told by God, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before

you were born, I consecrated you. And in one of the most beautiful moments in Holy Scripture,

John the Baptist, still in Elizabeth's womb, left when in the presence of Jesus, who was still

in Mary's womb. Look, the scripture says, test everything, especially those who claim to speak for God.
