Roman catholics attitude towards abortion?

Question

what is Roman catholics attitude towards abortion?

Answer 1

We are Strongly against abortion and any form of birth control.


Contraception is wrong because it’s a deliberate violation of the design God built into the human race, often referred to as "natural law." The natural law purpose of sex is procreation. The pleasure that sexual intercourse provides is an additional blessing from God, intended to offer the possibility of new life while strengthening the bond of intimacy, respect, and love between husband and wife. The loving environment this bond creates is the perfect setting for nurturing children.

But sexual pleasure within marriage becomes unnatural, and even harmful to the spouses, when it is used in a way that deliberately excludes the basic purpose of sex, which is procreation. God’s gift of the sex act, along with its pleasure and intimacy, must not be abused by deliberately frustrating its natural end—procreation.

Answer 2

It depends -- are you asking about the official Roman Catholic stance, or the opinions of Roman Catholics?

The RC stance is that it's murder and that it should be illegal.
That said, not all individuals agree with the Vatican on all matters, and, there are Roman Catholics who are pro-choice. Granted, many other Roman Catholics would say that pro-choice Roman Catholics aren't Roman Catholic at all, but that's another issue.

Blanket answer? Anti-abortion and anti-choice.

But this really belongs under the topic of "religion and spirituality," not pregnancy.

Answer 3

Roman Catholics are completely AGAINST abortion.

Answer 4

Roman Catholic Church don't believe in abortion. The church belives life begins at conception (soul and all). The Roman Catholic church is also against birthcontrol (including pills and condoms) and are advocates of "natural family planning" which uses your body's cues to know when to and when not to have sex in order to get pregnant or not. As you probably figured as well, the Roman Catholic church also teaches abstainance until marriage.

Answer 7

roman catholics are against abortion. it is considered a sin to end the life of an unborn child.

Answer 8

Catholics believe that life is a sacred gift from God and needs to be treated with all human dignity from the moment of conception to the point of natural death.

The Catholic Church is not just against abortion, it is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."

This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:
- All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms.
- The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in fitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning
- The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanazia
- Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty
- The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues.

With love in Christ.

Answer 9

NO NO NO NO NO pretty much answers your question. I mean if it was a unusual sitution like rape or incest than maybe you have an arguement but other than that the belief is they are totally agianst the ending of human life at any stage.

Answer 10

I would say we do not have an attitude about abortion, we have a strong belief that tells us it is wrong. So we live by our belief and we let others know that we feel this way.
