Why do many Christians appose abortion?
Abortion is when a woman decides she does not want to have her babe. Instead of giving birth the baby is killed inside the mother. The reason of abortion can be one of many. The mother may not be able to cope financially and may think it is best for the baby; if she has been rapped and does not want to have the baby of the man; if the baby will turn out handicapped and may not have a very good life; if the mother’s life is at risk if she gives birth. At this point she needs to decide which life she would rather carry on living, either her or her babies, or if getting pregnant in the first place was just a mistake and the woman does not feel she is ready to have a baby.
Some Christians appose abortion especially catholic Christians as they think that all life is sacred and should not be taken away. They think that God has created life so only he has the rite to take it away. Christians also feel that even if you do not want to have the baby you should still give birth to it. The if you feel that you still do not want the baby then there will always be someone else willing to take it in, such as adoption. If the mother is having problems financially then there will be groups across the country that will be willing to help in that area. Catholics main point is that they think that life is so precious and delicate that not in any way should it be taken away or destroyed. A quote from Pope Paul VI from 1970 sums up the views of the Catholics “Abortion has been considered murder since the first centuries of the church and nothing permits it to be considered otherwise” this quote is saying no matter the circumstances an abortion is murder and should not take place.
