Many people claim that Numbers 5:11–31 proves the Bible supports abortion. But does it? In this article, we examine one of the most frequently cited passages in the abortion debate and show why it has been widely misunderstood. By considering the passage in its historical context, the Hebrew text, and the broader teaching of Scripture, we demonstrate that Numbers 5 is about God’s judgment for adultery—not a biblical endorsement of abortion.

Are unborn children really parasites? This claim is increasingly common in abortion debates, but does it hold up scientifically? In this article, bioinformatics scientist Jacob Vazquez examines the biological definition of parasitism and explains why the unborn child does not fit that category. Looking at embryology, maternal-fetal biology, and scientific research, he argues that the relationship between mother and child is fundamentally different from that of a parasite and its host.

Is the Bible truly silent on abortion—and if it is, does that even matter? This excerpt explores one of the most common modern arguments surrounding Christianity and abortion: that Jesus never mentioned abortion and Scripture never explicitly condemns it. Drawing from biblical theology, the Imago Dei, and historical Jewish and Christian sources, this article argues that biblical silence does not equal moral approval and shows why the unborn possess inherent human value.
