MEMORY VERSE: “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:” – Matthew 5:21

BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: What is abortion? Abortion is the ending/termination of pregnancy due to removal of an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus.

When deliberate steps are taken to end the pregnancy, it is called an induced abortion.
Every seed planted in the womb of a woman is a blessing from God waiting for the time and place for the manifestation. This seed refers to a new life that begins at conception. Therefore, every abortion ends (kills) the life of an innocent human being. Exodus 20:13.

iii. Rape: AM on and Tamar. 2 Samuel 13:10-19
