Christians should never agree with abortion. Discuss

On the other hand some Christians (e.g. protestants) believe that the stage at which life begins cannot be distinguished and therefore see abortion as ok depending on the circumstances e.g. if the mothers physical or mental health is at risk (relative morality). They support pro-choice and believe that the rights of the mother should have priority over the foetus, and this is mainly because they believe that the foetus isn’t a human yet and it is developing towards becoming a full human person. It also says in the bible when it talks about the creation of man ‘breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being’ which sort of represents how a baby doesn’t breathe through his own nose until it’s born. That is also probably the point at which some Christians feel life begins because man became living when he breathed ‘the breath of life’ so therefore it sort of makes sense that a baby must also become living at that point as well, which is a very strong argument.

In conclusion, although the foetus may not be a full human yet it still has that potential to be one, so that needs to be taken into account. God also should only have the power to give and take away life as Christians see everyone as Gods creation so therefore he should only have the right to take away our lives since he created us. But Christian should still agree with abortion in some circumstances such as the ones required by 1990 Human and Embryology act, which are if the mental or physical health of the mother or any existing children are at risk or if their was a risk that the baby would be born seriously handicapped. The reason for this would solely be to protect the people who are already alive and fully human which is very important for lots of Christians.
