People who are against abortion use verses like “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5). But it’s the same thing as Genesis 2 or Job 33: these texts are poetry, not literal descriptions. It’s a treason of the Bible to use any of them in the debate about abortions.
Exodus 21 is about miscarriage, so unusable in the abortion debate.
Numbers 5 is a very obscure text. I often see it in the debate on abortion, but the woman is not clearly pregnant in the text. You have to twist some verses to make that text an abortion. It’s an oath ceremony, and the physical signs are God’s judgment, not God’s punition.
