In the abortion debate, the command "Thou shalt not kill" is noteworthy, but not sufficient to win the argument. This is because the question is not whether murder is wrong, but whether abortion is in fact murder. In other words, is the fetus a person (and thus accorded the right to life and equal protection under the law)? The so-called "pro-choice" advocates have been forced to concede the humanity of the fetus, and yet remain adamant that the human fetus (and in some cases even a newborn infant) is not a person.
A definitive text in the debate is Ex. 21:22-25, but unfortunately this text is often misunderstood by Christians. For example, both the NASV and NIV give poor translations of this key text. In addition to explaining the meaning of this text, the message also presents other passages that argue for the personhood of the fetus.

It has become more of a self-serving hypocrisy than a place that sets a true moral example.
