i would really like some quotes from different people in christain churches on the issue of abortion?

Question

pros and cons would be a great help~thanks!!!!

Answer 1

"How would you feel if you were told you were going to die? Upset? Angry? You'd complain and protest? But what if you couldn't? Who'd help you then? your family? Your government? No! They support your death. Millions of lives are terminated every year. And they never had a chance to speak out as they were never born."

That's a quote I used in an essay years ago. But then I got a job and started working with vulnerable hurting people. The Bible may say abortion is wrong and I accept that, but I cant judge someone for doing it. One mistake can ruin your life, I've seen it. You might not agree with me, but I so think its a choice a woman has to make. Its not an easy way out as it causes so much heart-ache. I think we need to show more compassion whether we think its right or wrong and offer support for whatever she decides.

You won't find any pros! Can't give you quotes but the official speech is to be against. I recall you that the Pope is against the use of condoms. So speaking of abortion...

Answer 4

Russell M. Nelson
Aposle
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

...There are many others if you want more by various LDS authorities. You can search for them at www.LDS.org Here is just one.

.....This war, labeled “abortion,” is of epidemic proportion and is waged globally. Over fifty-five million abortions were reported worldwide in the year 1974 alone. 1 Sixty-four percent of the world’s population now live in countries that legally sanction this practice. 2 In the United States of America, over 1.5 million abortions are performed annually. 3 About 25–30 percent of all pregnancies now end in abortion. 4 In some metropolitan areas, there are more abortions performed than live births. 5 Comparable data also come from other nations.

Yet society professes reverence for human life. We weep for those who die, pray and work for those whose lives are in jeopardy. For years I have labored with other doctors here and abroad, struggling to prolong life. It is impossible to describe the grief a physician feels when the life of a patient is lost. Can anyone imagine how we feel when life is destroyed at its roots, as though it were a thing of naught?

What sense of inconsistency can allow people to grieve for their dead, yet be calloused to this baleful war being waged on life at the time of its silent development? What logic would encourage efforts to preserve the life of a critically ill twelve-week-old infant, but countenance the termination of another life twelve weeks after inception? More attention is seemingly focused on the fate of a life at some penitentiary’s death row than on the millions totally deprived of life’s opportunity through such odious carnage before birth.

The Lord has repeatedly declared this divine imperative: “Thou shalt not kill.” 6 Recently he added, “Nor do anything like unto it.” (D&C 59:6.) Even before the fulness of the gospel was restored, the enlightened understood the sanctity of life. John Calvin, the sixteenth-century reformer, wrote: “If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in a field, because a man’s house is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light.” 7

But what impropriety could now legalize that which has been forbidden by the laws of God from the dawn of time? What twisted reasoning has transformed mythical concepts into contorted slogans assenting to a practice which is consummately wrong?

These slogans begin with proper concern for the health of the mother. Infrequently, instances may occur in which the continuation of pregnancy could be life-threatening to the mother. When deemed by competent medical authorities that the life of one must be terminated in order to save the life of the other, many agree that it is better to spare the mother. But these circumstances are rare, particularly where modern medical care is available......
