Is the Bible is Pro-life?

I already knew that, but this video brings several of the elucidating passages to one convenient location.




On what grounds do Christians claim that the Bible is pro-life?

If Noah's flood pro-life?

Damn god didn't even have all the pregnant women give birth first and put the babys on the ark before drowning the women.

Are you asking does the Bible support abortion? Or are you asking is the Bible pro-life in that it forbids the taking of life in any circumstance?

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?

I guess drowning all the fetuses in the world isn't abortion.

If the Bible supports abortion, then it doesn't forbid the taking of life in any circumstance. Your white blood cells claim bacterial life all the time, after all. I don't know how stringently 'support' is being defined here. I doubt that the Bible even specifically endorsed breathing, either. However, when the text makes it clear that an unborn fetus is of no, or at best very little value, then you could say that it, at the very least, does not condemn abortion, unlike a pro-life position.

Even if the text does not specifically command abortion (which it sort to of does in the first quote) that does not equal pro-life.

It depends on which version you're reading.

Darkstar, please define the term 'pro-life'.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?

Why can't you heathenistic atheists understand that God doesn't kill babies. He just gives them a speed pass to heaven.
