Reason 3 (Josh): He naturally leaned pro-choice but realized there's no good reason for it from a Christian moral standpoint if human life is sacred. Genesis 9:5-6 establishes that murder requires a reckoning because humans are made in God's image — a universal command to all mankind, not just Israel.

Josh's gut reaction was pro-choice, but careful thinking revealed no good Christian moral reason for it. Genesis 9:5-6 (post-flood, given to all humanity): "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image." The image of God elevates humans qualitatively above animals — not just intelligence but a divine imprint of immeasurable value.
