A humanist system rests on humans and you can\u2019t have humanity be dependent on \u201cbecause mommy wants me.\u201d That is what we have now and it\u2019s ontologically indefensible and philosophically infantile. Sorry. Truth must be told.<\/em> – Sarah Hoyt<\/p>\n

Are the Unborn People?\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>
\nThe pivotal point the abortion debate turns is not whether abortion itself is right or wrong, but whether the unborn are “persons.”<\/p>\n

( “point upon which the abortion debate turns is not whether abortion itself is right or wrong…”\u00a0 <\/em>I disagree, and say it does matter<\/strong>, but read the article)<\/p>\n

In general, it seems that people are quick to proclaim that \u201cwords matter\u201d and that logic and science are key, except when it comes to certain issues.\u00a0<\/em>On the topic of abortion, many have attempted to argue, despite clear science and logic, that because the subject is not specifically addressed within our founding documents, the right to life for those who are unborn is not an absolute certainty (i.e., in some cases a babies \u201cright to life\u201d appears to currently depend, inconsistently, on whether the child is \u201cwanted\u201d or \u201cunwanted\u201d).<\/p>\n

Similarly, there are Christians who argue that because the term \u201cabortion\u201d is not found in the Bible, God\u2019s intent on this matter is somehow neutral or unclear\u2014thus conveniently leaving us to decide this matter of profound importance for ourselves as to what is right versus what is wrong. Such an approach is disingenuous, intellectually dishonest, and illogical, for subjects that might appear to be unaddressed in the first instance can easily be illuminated by other issues and with reference to other information.<\/p>\n

The choice of words that were purposely selected for use in the Bible are important. And in a world full of shifting truths and changing definitions, the words and pages of the Bible have remained\u2014and will remain\u2014unchanged (Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). But not every practice\/topic is addressed, and the Bible does not claim to answer all of our questions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are many mysteries that surround us which will unfortunately remain unanswered until the end of time. The topic of abortion, however, is not one of them. That is because the answer to a much bigger primary and fundamental question, whether the unborn are \u201cpersons\u201d or \u201cpeople,\u201d has been shared with mankind. Although some Christians claim the status of personhood for the unborn to be unclear, the Bible makes an important\u2014but not very well known\u2014Old Testament reference at the end of Psalm 22 (in verse 32):<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe generations to come will be told of the Lord, that they may proclaim to a\u00a0people<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0yet\u00a0unborn<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0the deliverance you have brought (emphasis added).\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though this passage does not, as some would prefer, specifically declare verbatim that \u201cthe unborn are people,\u201d it leaves little room for doubt. Although the wording could easily have referenced \u201cfuture generations\u201d instead of \u201ca people yet unborn\u201d (as most of us probably would have written it), an intentional choice was made in this passage to highlight the unborn as \u201cpeople,\u201d thereby making its meaning sufficiently clear.<\/p>\n

It is also important to note other terms that the Bible does not<\/em>\u00a0use in reference to the unborn. For example, this specific passage does not refer to:<\/p>\n
