If the life has been created it should not be taken away before it’s been fully experienced.
Even though the unborn child can’t voice its opinion it still has the right as human being to one, the actions taken by Christians to prevent abortion should speak for the unborn.
Much counselling is needed for someone who considers abortion as they propally feel alone and afraid. They should always be reminded that the option of adoption is always open.
In Ireland abortion is illegal so obviously it has been considered to be morally wrong and you can be punished for it.
Some people would argue that doctors take an oath to protect life not destroy it and abortion is direct destruction of life “Abortion has no moral justification and represents the unwarranted destruction of human life” so if a doctor carries out an act of abortion they suffer the same consequences as a murderer, by God, as they both destroy human life.
But if abortion was legal, it would stop women seeking illegal abortion clinics and would allow for the abortion to occur under safe, controlled conditions, where there would be no risk of the mother being harmed. “The Free Churches hold that abortion is a matter for the individual to decide” and if they decide abortion is the best option they should at least be entitled to abortion as another choice or consideration.
Most Christians live in countries where abortion is legal, for example the UK, if someone wishes for an abortion they have to follow certain guidelines and conditions. The choice of abortion is only acceptable for certain reasons, such as if the baby is going to be deformed. The woman has the right to decide what way to bring up the child, but not if it should live, that is God’s decision.
People have different views upon abortion and that forcing laws that don’t allow for abortion aren’t right as people from different religions who believe abortion is right will just find illegal abortion clinics even if it is made illegal and its never right to force laws onto others.
God created people with free will so if people know about the consequences of their actions they should be allowed to choose what they do.
In conclusion on one side abortion should be justified because people should have the freedom of choice and it would decrease the number of women using illegal methods of abortion. But it shouldn’t be justified because the unborn child has the right to live as much as the mother does and no one but God can make the decision as to who lives and dies.
I feel that a “truly” Christian society, abortion shouldn’t need to be illegal. As a true Christian shouldn’t even consider the idea of abortion as a choice, as murder is a mortal sin. And Christians (true Christians) know that every form of human life is entitled to this life by God and that no one has the right to take it away.
The reason it shouldn’t be legalised is because of the people who aren’t Christians who believe abortion is acceptable, they should be allowed to believe what they believe in and shouldn’t be forced into laws they don’t agree with.
All Christians know and understand that abortion is morally wrong, so it should not need to be made legal for true Christians to stop the practise of abortion, but abortion should still be an option for extreme cases such as if the mother is going to die.
