Church of Scotland.
The church of Scotland’s board of social responsibility in the year 1987 came to the conclusion that the abortion has no moral justification and represents the unwarranted destruction of human life that is made in the image of god but was ready to say that this was only in the great majority of cases.
Evangelist teaching.
Evangelist Christians basing their views on the bible and what abortion is they don’t really talk about it in public.
Protestant teaching.
Protestant teaching of abortion is that it’s generally undesirable, but can be accepted in some circumstances. The protestant churches are not always very clear on what circumstances they accept abortion in. But really the abortion is up to the woman who is pregnant and nobody should change her mind that’s the bottom line really.
The Protestant Church is reluctance to take such a hard line as Catholics do in the abortion debate. It accepts that there are certain situations when abortion is an unavoidable consequence of deciding between the 'lesser of two evils' (E.g. Accepting that a women who becomes pregnant after being raped might want an abortion). Thus they generally advocate a form of Situation Ethics. Both the Catholic and the Protestant Churches accept abortion when the life of the mother is in danger as a result of her being pregnant.
Christians can put their beliefs about abortion into action by trying to think what its for the best and their thoughts based around their beliefs. every person in the family can offer support, help and encourage the woman to keep the baby by reminding her of the support she will be given by family, friends and social services. This is a major factor as mothers are mainly worried of the fun and happiness she and the father will have with the baby, they will watch it grow, make friends, watch it take its first steps and what its first words may be and other joys of having a baby.
The mother shouldn't be promised empty promises the people around her giving her advice should be genuine and should keep to what he or she has promised. If the mother has Christian beliefs about abortion it should be well thought over and discussed on how the baby should be brought up, abortion should be the last thing on her mind or better still she shouldn't be thinking of it.
Really if any one is willing to have unprotected sexual intercourse they should think about and be prepared to take the consequences and what they are like a Baby top priority
1. Will she have an abortion?
2. Will she put the baby up for adoption
3. She/he may get any kind of STI's
A foetus is a living thing and will continue to grow and nobody has the right to take away its opportunities in life and should be considered a living human being. If an abortion is taken place on a purpose accord no matter what is said or done after the abortion the person can never be justified. When a mother finds out she's pregnant she must treat it right and so the right things to help the foetus develop properly. Finding out you are pregnant and are still doing things to harm the foetus is exactly the same as a procured abortion.
My thoughts on abortion I think that abortion in one way is murder but in the other way it may be helping the unborn child. Because if the mother smokes, has cancer of any kind, or any types of STI's maybe and if the mother didn’t want the baby to be infected she may want to stop it before it suffers. If the baby does suffer then there may be several things wrong with the baby like it may become infertile or had a behaviour problem ect.
