What Would Jesus Say About Abortion?

On Monday evening the nation was rocked by a leak of the draft ruling of the United States Supreme Court that could provide evidence that the landmark 1973 ruling, Roe v. Wade will be overturned. For Christians, there is much cause for optimism. But not all are pleased. Some have said this is a fearful time as they feel the rights of women will be trampled upon. And others have once again brought up the idea that Christians have made abortion their pet issue as a cover for misogynistic, patriarchal bias that enjoys oppressing women. One writer I found even said that since Jesus or Paul did not specifically bring up the issue of abortion that it must not be that big of a deal and that Christians should stop obsessing over it.
So what would Jesus say about abortion? It is true that there are no recorded, specific teachings of Jesus regarding abortion. Does this mean He was not concerned about it? Any assertion that he did not care is just an assumption. John 20.30-31 says there were many things Jesus spoke about that were never recorded. So … is His silence permissive?
During our time together we will take a look at four of Jesus’ teachings that make it clear that the idea of having an abortion would be unthinkable … for any true disciple of His.
