"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." "Yahweh called me when I was in the womb,īefore my birth he had pronounced my name." My days were shaped, before one came to be.

I praise you, so wonderfully you made me God knows who we are even before conception (Jeremiah 1:5)! Both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible indicate that God is aware of life in the womb.

Thus says the Lord who made you, who formed you in the womb and will help you: "Did not He who made me in the womb make him? Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground,Īnd breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being. Children are the fruit and the bond of a marriage!įirst we will review the Biblical sources and then the Medical aspects of Life in the Womb. Is there any greater love than a mother has for her child? How beautiful is the newly pregnant mother as she treasures the infant growing within her. Within marriage, the parents can love and nurture their children. Marriage protects love and the growing family, the sanctuary of life. All religions have always protected the sanctity of marriage and the family. The natural law unites man and woman together in love and marriage for mutual comfort and the procreation of the human race. "Be fruitful and multiply fill the earth and subdue it." Then God blessed them, and God said to them, So God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him God blessed man and woman and called them to "be fruitful and multiply." Human life and love were an integral part of the Divine Plan of God our Creator. This is recorded in Genesis with God's Creation of man and woman. It is natural for a man and woman to be together. True love between a man and woman leads to marriage. "The embryo is a new human life which is genetically distinctĪnd which has energy and a direction of its own from the moment of conception." The human being is to be respected and treated as a person from the moment of conception." "A life is begun which is neither that of the father nor the mother it is rather the life of a new human being.
