Biblically the dream about abortion can be quite spiritual and of course, biblical which is why you are here. In my view, the dream symbolizes a woman's fear or anxiety about becoming pregnant, or the ambivalence about carrying a child to term. Therefore, if you are having a baby then this is a natural worry. The dream may also represent your grief or regret over terminated pregnancies. Now, we all know that dreams have changed the lives of many people in the bible. For example, Joseph was able to interpret Pharaoh's dreams and save his people from famine. When God communicates with us through dreams, it can be a powerful experience. Symbolic dreams in the Bible can reveal God's will for our lives and can be interpreted as such.

Abortion may therefore be considered morally wrong by those who believe the Bible is the authoritative source of morality and ethics.
