There are many examples in the bible of Jesus responding to those in need “as he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned.”…Having said this, he spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the mans eyes. “Go” he told him “wash in the pool of Siloam.” So the man went and washed and came home seeing” (John 9)
Christian belief teaches non-discrimination to others, they believe in equality to all regardless of peoples colour, race, gender, disability etc. the bible shows examples of Jesus teaching us this in the healing of a man with leprosy (Mark1.40-43), also in the good Samaritan as written in Luke 10.25-37 Jesus teaches us to treat our neighbours as we would want to be treated ourselves.
The Christian responsibility is for all life from the womb to the deathbed, they have a moral obligation to help if they can.
The responsibility to help people in need is often expressed in action through charity work such as Cafod, Save The Children, and The Good Shepard.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1: 5) Most pro life Christians believe that God has a plan for all of us and that he made us to do great things they use this bible quote to emphasise this point, but like pro choice groups point out this idea could be flawed, the quote is about a special event, the birth of a prophet, God was planning the birth of Jeremiah before he was conceived. They say that to claim this verse applies to all of us is the same as saying that god has placed us all “over the nations and over the kingdoms”, they also say that to claim that this verse is for anyone other than Jeremiah is to claim that we are all god’s divine prophets, as we are not we shouldn’t apply this verse to our own lives.
The bible makes it clear that we should not choose when we are to die “for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)
