Question

add the name of the church in the answers if possible

Answer 1

Catholics and most baptizes Ô¿Ô

Answer 2

You'd think all churches would be against abortion. However, I heard of a Methodist church that was supporting it. It doesn't mean all Methodist churches are, it just means that all churches are capable of forgetting what their cause and beliefs are.
I personally would never call anyone who got an abortion a murderer, because, that act is not what defines them. Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and I wish church leaders would stop telling their members to go an protest at abortion clinics, army mens' funerals, etc. Spend that time loving people and being supportive.

Answer 3

I think those churches that take a more lenient stance do so because they admit that once an unplanned pregnancy has occurred, there is no choice that's 100% "good". Either the mother has the baby, and (probalby) winds up poor, a single parent, and not able to raise the child very well, OR the child is denied a chance at life (and it cannot be known whether a good life or bad is in store). So, these churches conclude, there just isn't a one-size-fits-all easy solution and they therefore decline to pass judgement or make rules, leaving all of that to God.

Answer 4

The Catholic church is against it because they think it's murder and Judaism is not against it within a certain time period because they dont think that it's a person yet. Theyre also not against abortion when the mother could be harmed by having the child. That's been interpretted, in some cases, to mean mental harm as well as physical.

Answer 5

Jehovah's Witnesses

ABORTION

The expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can live on its own. Common use often distinguishes between abortion and miscarriage, the former being defined as the deliberate and induced emptying of a pregnant uterus, the latter being considered as the accidental and unavoidable interruption of pregnancy. The distinction between abortion and miscarriage is not made in the Bible; there the terms are used in a broader and interchangeable sense. The Hebrew sha·khal´, meaning "suffer an abortion" (Ex 23:26), is also rendered "bereave" (De 32:25), 'bereave of children' (Le 26:22), 'miscarry' (Ho 9:14), and "prove fruitless" (Mal 3:11). The Hebrew word yoh·tse´th, rendered "abortion" in Psalm 144:14, is from a root meaning "come out." (Compare Ge 27:30.) The expressions "miscarriage" and "one prematurely born" (Ps 58:8; Ec 6:3) render the Hebrew word ne´phel, which comes from the root na·phal´, meaning "fall."-Compare Isa 26:18.

Unavoidable abortion or miscarriage may be caused by accident, infectious disease, mental or physical stress and strain, or because of a general organic weakness on the part of the mother. The waters near Jericho were death dealing, causing miscarriages, until Jehovah's prophet Elisha healed them.-2Ki 2:19-22.

Deliberately to induce abortion or miscarriage by artificial means, by the use of drugs, or by medical operation, the sole purpose of which is to avoid the birth of an unwanted child, is an act of high crime in the sight of God. Life as a precious gift from God is sacred. Hence God's law to Moses protected the life of an unborn baby against more than criminal abortion, for if in a fracas between men a pregnant woman suffered an accident fatal to her or the child, "then you must give soul for soul." (Ex 21:22-25) Of course, before applying that penalty, the circumstances and degree of deliberateness were taken into consideration by the judges. (Compare Nu 35:22-24, 31.) But emphasizing the seriousness of any deliberate attempt to cause injury, Dr. J. Glenn comments: "The viable embryo in the uterus IS a human individual, and therefore destroying it, is a violation of the sixth commandment."-The Bible and Modern Medicine, 1963, p. 176.

Properly viewed, the fruitage of the womb is a blessing of Jehovah. (Le 26:9; Ps 127:3) Hence, in promising to prosper Israel, God gave assurance of successful culmination of pregnancy and the bringing forth of children, saying: "Neither a woman suffering an abortion nor a barren woman will exist in your land." (Ex 23:26) As indicated in the prayer of the righteous, on the other hand, evidence of God's disfavor to his enemies would be their having miscarrying wombs and their becoming like miscarriages that never see the sun.-Ps 58:8; Ho 9:14.

Job in his misery contemplated that it would have been better had he been "a hidden miscarriage." "Why from the womb did I not proceed to die?" this tormented man cried out. (Job 3:11-16) Solomon, too, reasoned that a prematurely expelled fetus is better off than the person who lives a long time but who never comes to enjoy life.-Ec 6:3.

Contagious abortion, a disease characterized by premature birth, may occur among animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. Accidental abortion due to neglect or disease of domestic animals has also been known since the days of the patriarchs Jacob and Job.-Ge 31:38; Job 21:10.
