I am against abortion. I believe that it is wrong because it disobeys the Bible and God‚ kills a human‚ and hurts the mother. Abortion violates the Bible and God himself. The King James Version Bible states “ Thou shalt not kill” in Exodus 20:13. Abortion is the same thing as killing. Genesis 2:7 says “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground‚ and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Proverbs 6:16-17 says that God hates those who shed innocent

There are several reasons why Euthanasia is wrong. I’m just going to name a few. First is because it doesn’t just effect the person choosing it‚ it also effects the family of the person choosing assisted suicide .
