made us specially to be like him and we
can't destroy that

Spirit", abortion destroys this
temple

body,she should get to
choose what she keeps in it

to make our own decisions
The wellfare of the child, if they have
a serious disability or if the mother
cannot cope
Possible reasons against

Only God chooses when to give or take it

decision in later life and
feel guilty

she can't have children in later life
Some people say abortion is the "easy
way out" because there are alternatives
The alternatives: you can put the baby up for
adoption,the patents can get financial help from the
government or family, there are temporary foster
homes etc.
In the Bible it teaches that life begins at
conception so abortion is technically murder
