Tom Ehrich, an Episcopal minister and writer living in Durham, North Carolina, claims that the religious debate on the subject of abortion “is one best captured in shades of gray rather than . . . in black and white.” Ehrich asks where God stands on the issue and then only quotes Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 1:5. The Bible has a lot more to say on the subject. Gus diZerega, writing in his “Pagan’s Blog” (“Abortion is NOT Condemned by the Bible. Not even close”) on the BeliefNet Website, agrees that the Bible can’t be used to defend an anti-abortion position.
