the Bible nor the God it portrays is “pro-life,” but the BEattitude has
compiled
(http://thebeattitude.com/2009/08/29/the-god-of-the-bible-is-pro-abortion/)
some more verses about the Bible’s stance on killing babies in the womb:

*God will punish women by aborting their fetus through a miscarriage.*

“Give them, O LORD–what will You give? *Give them a miscarrying
womb* and dry breasts.” (Hosea 9:14
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%209:14&version=NIV))

*God teaches the use of a bizarre ritual using cursed “bitter
water” to abort a fetus who was conceived through
infidelity.***(Numbers 5:11-21
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205:11-21&version=NIV))

*God orders Moses to kill every Midianite woman who was no longer a
virgin.* /(many of these women would obviously have been pregnant)/
(Numbers 31:15-18
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2031:15-18&version=NIV))

[Numbers 31:15-18
New International Version

15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2031:15-18&version=NIV)

*God promises to destroy the infants of Samaria and rip open the
stomachs of pregnant women.*

The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have
rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; *their
little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women
ripped open.* (Hosea 13:16
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%2013:16&version=NIV))

Hosea 13:16 In Hebrew texts this verse (13:16) is numbered 14:1.

*God allows the pregnant women of Tappuah to be ripped open.*

At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah
and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused
to open their gates. *He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the
pregnant women.* (2 Kings 15:16
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Kings%2015:16&version=NIV))

*God commands the killing of infants and nursing babies.*

Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they
have, and do not spare them. *But kill both man and woman,
infant and nursing child*, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. (1
Samuel 15:3
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2015:3&version=NKJV))

*God repays your enemies by destroying their babies.*

*Happy is he* who repays you for what you have done to us. He
*who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.*
(Psalms 137:8-9
(http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms%20137:8-9&version=NIV))

The BEattitude makes a good point:

Apparently all life is precious to the god of the Bible, /unless/ it
is a fetus conceived out of wedlock or conception happens within an
“enemy” nation that does not worship him. The Bible teaches that
abortion is acceptable if God performs it or he commands it to be
done through contaminated water or by violent force….

You can be a pro-life supporter, but *leave your Bible at home.* It’s
horrific and violent stories against innocent infants and unborn
children have no place in a discussion on morality and the value of
human life.

Indeed. The “always pro-life” position does not come from the Bible, but
from conscience. If a person /really/ get their morals from the Bible,
be afraid — you never know what God might tell them to do next, because
God commanded just about every evil imaginable in the Bible.
