What does the Bible actually say about abortion? Well this is the question we will be answering in this episode and the next. We will be reading through an article published by a pro-choice pastor and looking into the scriptures to see what they say.

I have attached the link to the article below.

In this episode we answer the question of whether the Bible is all about loving your neighbour or not. We look at a similar assessment of the Bible that it is all about love.
