  • Why are Christians opposed to abortion?
    Don't be personal. I like to operate with facts.

    the Holy Scriptures clearly testify to a reverence for the life of the mother and the life of her unborn child as both being equal in value,

  • Why are Christians opposed to abortion?
    The tiny little problem with this argument is that neither believers nor heathens know anything about when, or if, a fetus is ensouledBitter Crank

    Once again: Christians believe a fetus is possessed by soul since an impregnation.

    it isn't ensoulment that makes a killing murder. It is the deliberate action of one person acting on another resulting in death.Bitter Crank

    The question remains: Since when is a fetus a person?
  • Why are Christians opposed to abortion?
    Like @Bitter Crank said, there is no certainty when is a fetus ensouled. Christians believe that a sex is something sacred, either physical and spiritual connection of partners, where the Holy spirit is present. Therefore right after impregnation a fetus have soul and so it is a valid human. This means that Christians believe that abortion = murder.

    IMO this is the right point of view, because really there is no way to tell since when a fetus should be considered as a valid human..
