- Judgment against Amalek included the death of infants
1 Samuel 15:3 Now go, attack Amalek and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.
Contrary to the Bible, the pro-life argument would seek to save every aborted baby, but the pro-life stance refuses to acknowledge that abortion may prevent the next Hitler from arising.
Most pro-life arguments focus on the idea of saving innocent babies. However, in the Bible the state of infancy does not define innocence or exempt a baby from the death penalty. When God pronounced judgment against the nation of Amalek even babies nursing at the breast were to be put to death. This is because the people of Amalek were so evil that even their babies could not be redeemed. In the biblical account, Saul failed to carry out this order and as a result Haman, a descendant of Amalek, later rose to power and attempted genocide against the Jewish people. There are also speculations that Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis who lead the genocide against 6 million Jews, was descended from Haman an Amalekite. Contrary to the Bible, the pro-life argument would seek to save every aborted baby, but the pro-life stance refuses to acknowledge that abortion may prevent the next Hitler from arising.
- Life Begins at the First Breath
Genesis 2:7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Adam did not become a living being until the breath of life entered his nostrils. He had been formed from the dust, but the formation did not define life—it was the first breath. Death is defined when a person stops breathing. A person who was never breathing cannot be considered dead, because without taking a breath a person was never alive. Babies form in the womb, but life enters when that baby takes a breath.
- Injuring a fetus resulted in a fine, not the death penalty
Exodus 21:22 If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no series injury, the offender must be fined
The Old Testament is explicit; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and the cost of life is life. The penalty for murder is the death sentence. Yet, the punishment for causing the death of an unborn child is a fine. This means that God does not consider the unborn child as a fully developed life. If a baby in the womb was considered a life, then the consequence would be death. Calling abortion murder is contrary to the way God views an unborn child.
- The Seed of the Wicked is Cut Off
Psalms 37: 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
The Hebrew word for seed, זרע (zerah) refers not only to lineage, but also the literal seed, semen, from a man. In the womb the seed from a man fertilizes an egg which develops into a baby. To cut that seed off is to put a stop to that baby from forming. Putting an end to the seed of the wicked is an act of justice. Wicked men rape, and fighting to protect the seed of the wicked-rape related pregnancies-is fighting against the justice that God provides.
- Erectile Dysfunction is from God
Psalms 69:24 May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see; may their loins collapse continually.
This is a prayer for the loins of the wicked to fail. Although the pro-life movement claims that all pregnancies are from God, the psalmist correctly identifies the gender directly responsible for unwanted pregnancies. When the loins of the wicked collapse, through erectile dysfunction, their wicked seed is prevented from coming in contact with a woman. Receiving an answer to this prayer, for the loins of the wicked to fail, is the most biblically accurate way to prevent an abortion.

Natalie’s Abortion, tells the unshared story of a woman who has to deal with a rape related pregnancy, abortion, and the constant bombardment of society’s unsolicited opinion about her decision. The story shows the ultimate triumph of a rape survivor as she finds her own voice and takes the power back in her life. This film was censored on Amazon, but is now available for viewing on Vimeo. Sharing our support for survivors—no matter what our political belief or religious background—can make or break a community’s ability to better process opinions on abortion, and address what they perceive as right or wrong behavior instead of forcing moral opinions that can trigger trauma for someone who has experienced sexual assault or a rape related pregnancy. These are tough subjects, but my intention is to share a story of survival that can uplift everyone and shift the conversation towards justice for all women. You too, can be part of this movement by simply watching Natalie’s Abortion on Vimeo and sharing it with your friends. Thank you for your support.
