Our babies are made in the image of God.
There are clear passages in scripture indicating that we, as humans, are made in the image of God. Because of the fall of man into a sinful state, we struggle (some more than others) to live our daily lives as God’s image and likeness bearers. Yet, we are still made in God’s image.
Genesis 1:26a, 27 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. . .. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”
I Cor 11:7 “. . .man is the image and glory of God. . .”
The danger:
Psalm 106:20 “They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass” [Hebrew-“exchanged their glory”]
Exchanging their glory resulted from worshipping idols that were shaped like an ox. Any time we worship something other than God, we are exchanging our glory for that thing. Though likely not an ox, it might be an ipad, a paycheck, a house, or any number of things.
Peeking into the future.

Isaiah 29:14 “Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.”
This is one reason why belief
…is important: the mysteries and miracles require an element of faith. (Read further about Mysteries, Miracles, and Faith.)
Another part of the glory of God is valuing life.
Our babies are made in the image of God.
Because we are made in the image of God, our offspring—our babies—are also made in the image of God.
Before we were formed, God knew us. God knit us [our parents’ half DNA’s to make our new strand of DNA] together.

Isaiah 29: 16 “Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?”
We not only destroy babies—God’s image bearers—with the atrocity of abortion. We also dishonor God’s image bearers—our babies—when we
…minimize pregnancy losses and view them as anything less than our children. (Read more in The Importance of Validation.) Whether intentional or natural, baby loss deprives our world of others made in the image of God.
