Abortion
- Christians believe in the
Sanctity of life, which
means the life given from
God is a gift and is sacred
- Some Christians believe that abortion is
murder, as it is the death of a potencial
life which God has created
- 10 Commandments: 7th- 'You shall not murder'
- Roman Catholics believe that abortion is never right because God
created life
- God should be the only one
who has the right to take a life
away
- They also believe that
life begins at the
moment of conception
- However, they believe that if an
abortion is needed to save the
mothers life, they would except the
doctrine of 'double effect', where if
the morally good side was to save
the mother and the morrally bad
side of the baby's death, it is
acceptable providing the morrally
bad was not intended
- Abortion is when a foetus has been
removed deliberately
- Other Christians believe
that the foetus cant be
described as a person until
later on around 22 weeks,
so therefore an abortion
may be seen as acceptable
- But only if it is dealt individually in the
most loving and kind way
