The human population (This is a generalization) are judgemental and sterotype often. I'm not Christian but I beleive in abortion only for very dire circumstances, but I'm not also one to look upon anyone who chooses this as if they di wrong. I'm sure that it's a difficult decision to make. I have lost a child so I understand the gift they are giving up, but I also understand how scared a young woman can be and how overwhelming bringing a child in this world esspscially when you are too young. I can see why so many woman make this decision. I belive in adoption I think all woman should consider this before they consider abortion. Some woman it is not safe for them to have a child so the doctor suggest that the pregnancy be terminated, Incest is a situation where the child would be saved from a life of hardships, and rape no woman should ever have to wonder is she'll resent her child she didn't ask for this she didn't ask even for the accident but was forced into it. I don't think abortion is a christian issue but a womans issue. I'm pro-choice but I also support pro-life.

Many people just can't resist the nasty habit of stereotyping others. And that applies equally to conservatives and liberals - both groups routinely do it, meaning neither truly recognize, or tolerate, diversity of ideas.
Since my views vary based on the issues, I've had this happen to me many times. If I say something that is perceived as either liberal or conservative, it is immediately assumed I must be one or the other - no possible room for anything else.
Abortion is an excellent example. I'm also now opposed to abortion, and that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with religion. But, if I mention that, the vast majority in favor of abortion will quickly assume it is - and, at the same time, assume I must be some right-wing religious fanatic.
In reality, my position on abortion has changed as the times have changed. Years ago (the 60's & 70's), I fully supported abortion. But that was based on the limited availability of truly reliable birth control methods at the time, the fact that few young people at the time were receiving a proper sex education, and the fact that most understood abortion was an extreme step instead of a convenience.
That situation has changed dramatically today. Now, every child receives a sex education. There are more than 40 variations of the birth control pill (meaning nearly every woman can find one compatible with her biology), all of them more reliable then the few birth control pills available decades ago. For those not wanting pills, there is the patch. Foams and devices have gotten more reliable. There are the morning before and morning after pills. There's even a pill that can be taken up to a week after intercourse.
In other words, there is no reason, beyond sheer laziness or sheer stupidity, for an unwanted pregnancy today - and I just cannot accept the notion of ending a potential life just to benefit the lazy and/or stupid.
Abortion, as it now stands, must end. As a convenience, it is a vicious, even barbaric, act. The law should be changed to only allow abortions where there is a true medical need.

Abortion = Death.
Christian = Life has value.
Family values, dies on cross for sins, first shall be last, all that good stuff. There are not too many people out there willing to take care of someone else. It is easier to pay the bill and try to forget what you just did.
Abortion is so hot, the Supreme Court doesn't even know.
I like this one best, "If it's not a baby, then you're not pregnant." lol.
(very hot topic) Should put a warning here. Some people will raise their blood pressure 20 points just by stopping by.

I don't know why they would think that, but abortion is a crime against a human being, it is murder, that fetus has a heart and brain just like anyone else and abortions is totally wrong. If a person doesn't was a baby, then they should do something to prevent it, or have the baby and give it up for adoption.

Mainly because its Christians who are the most vocal about abortion. So it becomes a natural assumption to this one who protests is Christian.
I know what you mean, I'm Hebrew myself.

Because these days men and women no longer care about the life of the baby; they just want to have sex their whole lives without having to care about the consequences. If they have to end a human life just for the sake of their convenience, they couldn't possibly care less.

Well, it could be that the Christians are about the only group to speak up against it...

Yes, I think it's possible to make a secular argument against abortion.

Some Christians assume that everyone who doesn't share their faith is evil and wants to kill babies. I've met a few who assumed that I was Christian because I don't drink or smoke.
