Answer 2

Ok..I think that every human being has the right to choose. I don;t believe that abortion should be a means of "birth control". As with anything the right can be abused but it should still be upheld. It is a choice. Whether it is a one night stand or a nasty stepdad sneaking into the room..you pick the scenario..but they have the choice. I don't think God wants anyone to take the life of an unborn child that he means to be here but I don't think he meant it to be here by the man who raped you down the street.There is no God in the rapists and child molesters in the world.There can't be.Why is it because a woman is submitted to their sins against her will that she should carry their child.I can't believe it would be her God's will.That would be more like hell.

Answer 3

The abortion debate is heating up once again and the issues are familiar, or so we think. Our stereotypes -- especially of the churches’ debate -- are well entrenched. However, a study of official church statements on abortion challenges many of these stereotypes. Theological or denominational differences are not at the core of the dispute. Rather, the primary issue at stake among the churches is a philosophical question what is the nature of human life and which philosophical concepts most adequately depict it? Considered collectively, official church statements on ethical questions seem to point to a possible solution to this issue in the abortion debate, a solution that may even point toward a broader social consensus on abortion.

Answer 4

Yes i am the cleverest person on yahoo answer so just take my words - imbibe

Christinas believe that you are a human being the moment you are coneived, because this is the moment life begins. Once you accept this you cannot be anti abortion unless you are a murderer

So people don't accept this and put these arguemnts forward which i will refute one bye one. 'hey are just a mass of cells, not human, they don't even look human' - so the less perfect you look, the less beautiful the less of the human - going along these lines of logic we would make ugly people and underclass in society and george bush would be doing armani adverts.

'it's too small to be human' - what are these people sizist - because people are small are they less human again. who determines what is too small - that is purely arbitrary for abortionists

'it cannot think like a human, therefore isn't' neither can a baby or disabled person but you don't kill them

'a foetus cannot live outside the womb so is not a human' if you need something to survive doesn't make you any less human. a baby after three months is not allowed to be aborted but cannot survive after this - again people just chose dates arbitrarily without logical thought. i cannot survive without my parents support, the young cannot am i less human - should i be murdered.

'the baby will have a bad life if born' - how incredibly dumb are abortionist seers and prophets as well - do they know the future. better to give your child up for adoption where there are so many couples without children who would dearly love to have them than murdering your own, and finishing an existence that could have changed humainty for good. what if jesus, or bach, hawkings were aborted - we have lost too much already to this state authoriesed massacre

'the child is disable' what is this - the genocide against the disabled

ask me more and i will tell you teh truth in more detail

Answer 5

The views shown by the previous contributors who are also religious shows that religion and state must be separated in this country. Christians have no right to impose their belief upon others.
What some seem to forget that contraception sometimes fails. A woman may be raped. She may not have the resources to support a child. Instead of judging women who have abortions, we should be supporting these women as they have made a decision about themselves and their body. If the anti abortionists got their way, then the coat hanger and the crochet hook would simply replace the clinic as the main means of terminating a pregnancy. They may not lke the truth, but that's what it would come to.

Answer 6

this will be a tin or worms - good luck. !

I think it is a necessary evil, but the maximum number of weeks that in UK a pregnancy can be aborted must be reduced. It is now to close to a time when a premature baby can be saved. This is immoral.

There are situations where a pregnancy may need to be terminated, for example a pregnancy resulting from rape.

All religious doctrines on birth control were developed from a male perspective. With no consideration as to who pays the price of an unwanted pregnancy

Answer 7

There are tons of religious views on abortion. See the link below which contains many quotes of 2nd generation Christians preaching specifically on the evils of abortion. As you can see from these early church leaders, abortion and Christianity from the beginning don't mix.

Answer 8

Abortion is murder. There is really no way to put it more bluntly. The unborn child is killed and destroyed. To say that a child is not a child until the second trimester or third or at any legally defined time is nothing but legal sophistry created to allow us to fool ourselves into believing it is not murder.

There are 18,000 abortions in New Zealand every year. God knows how many in North America or Europe and elsewhere. If a woman has a right to choose to kill her unborn child then let us be honest enough not to deny what is really happening. I honest believe there would be many fewer abortions if people, women in particular, were shown the reality of abortion.

Answer 9

Its morally wrong and a sad reflection on how low society has gone. It angers me how people only see it as matter of a woman's choice it reminds me of what i read about eugenics and the Nazis who believe life is disposable . It is also shows how society has become selfish and amoral . We suppose to protect our most vulnerable like children and the elderly so surely it should apply to those who yet to be born.

Answer 10

I'm guessing you're from the UK so there's a UK website.

I think abortion is wrong for what its worth. But its simply a reflection of our increasingly pagan society. People used to sacrifice their kids to try and please the gods, now they kill unborn babies simply because they're an inconvenience. Pagan cultures value life less than Christian ones. Apparently theres some Roman document they've found that lists all the strange things about Christians- one of them that they didn't kill babies. Apparently Roman parents if they didn't want a kid they'd just kill it when it was born and chuck it away.

So abortion is a symptom of an increasingly godless society, there needs to be a revival for people to respect life as it should be respected.

Answer 11

Yeah most religions frown on abortion.
