  Abortion:

Christians believe human life is sacred and should be treated with care. God has made everyone in his own image, and has a unique relationship with each of us, even before we were conceived. From the beginning in the Bible, it is made clear that all human life is a gift from God and that every individual is known and loved by him.

In Genesis 1:27 it states that God has made everyone in his own image and he has created everyone for a purpose.

In Jeremiah 1:5 it states that God knew everyone before he forms us in the womb and he made each of us in our own individual way.

In Psalms 139: 13-16 it states that God made us in a wonderful way and you were with us all the way through our time in our mother ‘s womb.

 

 These beliefs are the main reasons why most Christians believe: ‘human life is sacred;’

because God has made us so wonderfully and creatively. These are also the reasons why most Christians believe ‘ Abortion ‘ is wrong. This is a basic reaction, because Christians believe God has created each of us in is own image and if we kill each other we are actually killing our creator, God.

  ‘Abortion is any death of a foetus in the womb and it’s expulsion from the mother’s body.’

Most abortions are undertaken deliberately  (procured abortion) due to many different issues involving and influencing the mother’s views or wishes.

             Pro-choice are an organization helping women who have, or are considering having an abortion.  In all of these cases abortion is not always the easy option. It requires a sensible and mature decision and almost certainly brings about an emotional cost to the woman.

              Anti- abortion agencies, such as “Save the Unborn Child”: say                                                          ‘Since human life begins at conception, i.e. fertilization and since all human life should be equally protected by the law from conception to natural death, whether or not the human being concerned is wanted or handicapped, it follows that the destruction of the unborn life is always wrong’

             

Pro –choice agencies say:

             ‘If society did more in by way of education and contraception as well as helping single mothers by providing counselling and places where they could seek advice, abortion would not always be necessary.’ Attitudes of society have changed in recent years and unmarried mothers are no longer frowned upon as they once were.

Jesus taught us to abide by the Commandments and one of them is ‘Do not commit murder’, many Christians believe this is a reasonable argument against abortion because you are purposely killing a child who has no way of helping it self. An early Christian teacher said, “You shall not kill by abortion the fruits of the womb and you shall not murder the infant already born” In an abortion you are removing the infant from the womb causing it to die. Although, so far I have made out that Christians believe abortion is wrong, it is not always true, in the following circumstances Christian views sometimes differ and I am going to outline some scenarios to illustrate the different points of view.

The Roman Catholic Church’s views would say that she should not have an abortion. The belief is that she should allow the child to be adopted rather than terminated. The church does not believe in sex before marriage and would not see abortion as an acceptable option. The church would be against such an abortion and say, “ Abortion is a serious sin in any circumstances.” If an individual has the maturity to have sex then they have the maturity to face up to ...
