It is not easy to understand where to begin in the creation of life. Abortion, and contraception, and the fundamental question of when cells become a living being overlap historically, and practically leaving people wondering what is biblically right and wrong, especially when controlling life creation (Guendelman et al., 2020). As much as abortion is legalized in American, American culture does not accept abortion. In many cultures, the Scripture is viewed as the answer to abortion and contraceptives. However, abortion and contraceptive practices were practiced by members of primitive societies only to be documented in the ancient texts.
