What do christians think about abortion?

Question

What if a woman was raped?

Answer 1

Jesus / God practices abortion every day in the form of miscarriage. He does this because he is a loving God that knows there are times when abortion is right. And Christians know that if they pray to God about abortion, he will give them the right answer for them. For some abortion will be wrong, for others it will be Right.
God knows that each time a fetus is forced to live against his will, it leads to the death of loved and wanted children. Christ calls Christians to take care of the poor and needy, he does not call for us to take care of the fetus. Our first duty according to the Bible is to love God. Our other duty is to love one another. We are to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We must therefore do as God would do. And we know that God aborts to make the world better. We must then abort if it makes the world a better place.
Some Christians lie about what the Bible says so that they make take the Glory from God and place it upon themselves. These Christians are always of the pro life catagory. They know that the bible does not support them, but to make themselves more important in their own eyes, they make up lies about the Bible. These Christians are not doing God's will.

Answer 2

I am a Christian, but you don't have to be religious to know that killing innocent human beings is wrong, and that is exactly what every single abortion does. This is not an opinion, but a simple biological fact. By the time most women know they are pregnant (just 3 weeks after conception), their baby's heart is already beating. Virtually no abortions are committed before 6 weeks, at which point the baby has tiny fingers and recordable brain waves. For more information, see:

It’s never acceptable to kill an innocent human being, even in the case of rape. Would you kill a one-year-old because her father was a rapist? If not, why is the child in the womb fair game? Is she less worthy of life than the rest of us because of the circumstances of her conception? Should children be punished with violent death for the crime of their fathers?

Furthermore, abortion only increases the grief and trauma of a woman who has been raped. Abortion does not erase the fact of the rape, but only causes the mother to become the aggressor, hurting another innocent victim the way she was hurt. Rape is bad; murder is worse. Studies have found that the majority of women who abort a child conceived in rape regret it, while none of the mothers who choose to give birth do (see links below).

In the case of incest, abortion allows the molester to cover up the evidence of his crimes and continue his abuse. It is often the molester who pushes for abortion.

Thanks for the question.

Answer 3

Christians don't believe in abortion because it is killing a human being. It takes a physical Act to kill the child. For example, scissors are plunged into the babies head and or a chemical solution is injected that burns the baby. Killing a baby is really a gruesome act. You can see it for yourself if you google abortion. The reason there is such a support of abortion is that many of the supporters have had abortions before and they are trying to find a way to feel better about themselves and rationalize a very emotional, hurtful act that is buried in their conscience.

Answer 4

Not all Christians think abortion is murder. I'm a Christian, but I believe that if a woman decides to have an abortion before the first trimester is up, then that is her choice. After the first trimester though, I do consider murder unless there is clear danger to the mother.

Answer 5

It seems like they care more about the unborn and the dead than the living human. Have they ever care about what's the best for that woman as a living human being? Also, what kind of life the baby will be having after their birth? If I was a fetus, and my mom's living on the street, and doing drug or have AIDS, I'll be begging someone to finish me. If I have soul or something, I'll get a better chance of good life somewhere else.

Answer 6

I'm a christian and I believe that any sort of abortion is murder, because it is killing a human life. Just because the baby isn't fully developed does not mean the baby isn't human and the baby isn't alive. People try to de-humanize a developing baby by calling the baby a fetus.

These are my ideas and I do not speak for the whole christian community.

Answer 7

Christians really look down upon abortion... i know this because i am one. they believe it to be a killing of an innocent person. they also are against teenage pregnancy which can cause a lot of confusion and issues among the teen population but they think you should keep the baby and give it up for adoption. so to answer the question they are strongly against it

Answer 8

decades ago scientists talked about the cellular activity upon conception as if it were life, but since then they decided that every single cell is not a living organism but part of one. at the time though christians equated any willful stop to the cellular activity as murder. science has changed but the christians haven't. that's why. btw i'm not for or against abortion.

Answer 9

I try not to judge. I tolerate others freedoms and viewpoints. I believe that only God has the right to judge others. I do judge. It's hard not to. I judge people based upon what I see. If I don't like what I see, I don't remain in that persons company, nothing more. I remain pleasant. I don't wish to take away anyone's free will. It's a gift from God. Nobody's perfect.

Answer 10

Christians think abortion is another form of murdering human life. As written in the Bible, one of the commandments was "You shall not kill."
