Personally, I wouldn't want to be part of a church, or a member of a congregation that made me believe everything else everyone else believed.
You can find Christian churches that are lock-step in agreement concerning abortion, but you can find just as many Christian churches that allow their members the opportunity to think for themselves, and to make their own personal decisions.
So, the question is, which denominations are anti-free thought and which are pro-free thought.
For example, every Catholic church is officially pro-life, some members may be pro-choice, but the official position is pro-life.
The Southern Baptist Convention requires all SBC churches sign and agree to a statement of faith, and while not 'pro-life,' it does require all members to agree on a wide variety of issues.
And then you'll have simple-minded people who think the Bible tells them what to do (if they really believed this, then they'd be plucking out their eyes, rather than allow their eyes to lead them to sin, per Jesus' instructions), but again, these sorts of churches generally frown on freedom of though that disagrees with the official policy.
I'm a pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and we let every member, and every congregation, respond to the Bible, and to Christ's call, in a personal way. God tells each of us what to do, not some church rule, or some know-it-all preacher.
Simple questions like Pro-life - Pro-choice, are nearly impossible in the real world given the facts around each individual situation, and only lead to unhappiness and a distancing from God.
Godspeed you on your journey of discovery.

I'm pretty sure all churches that follow the Bible are Pro-life. But just because someone is a Christian and a part of a certain church, doesn't mean that they aren't pro-choice. I think everyone is pro-choice, you have a choice, with whatever you choose.
There are pro-life Catholics and pro-choice Catholics, there is never one way for anyone in a church. It all comes down to what a person believes and what they want to do.

There are many denominations that are pro-abortion, such as the United Church of Christ, and the Unitarians. The main Christian Church that is completely pro-life is the Catholic Church. I think Muslims are pro-life, also. This is a large subject and you will have to research each one in detail.

Hello,
All Christian denominations are pro life though their are always some minor factions within these institutions that are pro choice. Islam with regards to abortion is pro life.
Cheers,

Do suppose it might be a mistake listening to a professional-existence speech considering your professional-alternative..Don't realize why you suppose it the respectful factor to do however definately no longer IMO & continuously correct LoL Also am professional-alternative & feel a girl has the correct to prefer an abortion..Better to abort the competencies existence then convey extra abused kids into this global..If guys have been ready to turn out to be pregnant abortion might be authorized in a moment..

The Catholic church and most mainline Protestant churches are pro-life, I would hate to think that any Christian denomination would be pro-choice, but nothing surprises me these days.

I cant imagine any Christian church having a pro choice stance.

No church is pro-life, since the focus of all churches is what happens after you die - though many are pro-birth, because they read it in an ancient book and haven't noticed overpopulation is a problem. Neither are any pro-choice, as they'd all happily force their beliefs on us all.

The ones that keep the ten commandments know that thou shall not kill, and the ones that know the scripture to speak up for those who cannot speak for them selfs are pro life.

Any church that is a Christ Believing church is Pro-Life And if they say otherwise then they are not a true Gospel Believing Church.
