Catholic Church Considers Abortion To Be a Kind Of Murder.

Many religions are against abortion; obviously the catholic church is not an execption.The catholic church makes its point of view really clear, basically catholics are against abortion no matter what the situation is ; because the catholic church considers abortion to be one of the biggest sins a human being could make."christianity writers from the first-century author of the didache to pope john paul II in his encyclical evangelium vitae("The gospel of Life")have maintained that the biblie forbids abortion, just as they forbids murder." - (Catholic.com/library). this religion believes that life starts at the moment of conception and ends with natural death like the article above explains , so ending a pregnancy is still murder even though the baby is never born.

"Life s controlled by god " is the message transmitted by the church memebers; it means that only god may decide when to start a life or when to end a life.

"Human life is sacred because from its begining it involves the creative action of god and it remanins for even in a special relationship with the creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the lord of life from its beginign until its end: no one an under any circunstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being"("Domun vitae,"5).-(Catholicnewsagency.com)This means that no matter what the circumstance is , no one has the right to kill an innocent life, even though the intention is to save the baby from a major health problem or permanent emotional damage.

After legalization; St. Basil, in a letter to Bishop Amphiliochius, (374) clearly pronounced what the church should teach to disciples."A women whos has deliberately destroyed a fetus must pay the penalty for murder" and "Those also who give drugs causing abortions are murders themselves, as well as those who receive the poison wich kills the fetus."-(Catholicnewsagency.com); the letter specifies that even if the mother consumes drugs to eliminate the baby, it is murder; no matter if the pill is taken one day after its conception. This letter not only incriminates women who use these drugs, but also doctors who create them, because instead of searching for methods that eliminate lives, we must spend our time looking for conditions that will improve our own existance.

After Mexican authorities legalized abortion, Vatican representatives sent a press release, which associates abortion with terrorism;".......terrorism with a human face."- (washintongpost.com). The church´s statement was not a surprise, knowing abortion is not an issue that catholic religion likes.

Catholic religion is against abortion, because they think that since the moment of conception the fetus is already a life, they donot think life starts with birth.

This particular religion is not only against abortion but it is also against any sexual intercourse before marriage. If followers of this religion could follow this choice or advice, birth control methods would be pointless and the amount of population with any type of STDs will be reduced.

Abortion

Society’s Reaction Against Abortion

Abortion is a fast and easy way to get rid of a “problem”, but ultimately it is the wrong path. This cruel act is considered to be inhuman, because it is murder.

Some people think that abortion is correct, and see as natural, others think that it should be a punishable crime.

Many people think that life is God’s gift:

If abortion is allowed we would not be living the life and God’s command from us. It is a blessing for a woman to bring forth a child into this world.

Human beings are God’s biggest creation, and are being destroyed by themselves.

Church opinion: Anyone who commits abortion is a murder, it’s a life that is being taken, and it’s the same as killing an adult.

People’s views differ greatly on the issue of when a human life begins. Consequently, some people in society think abortion is murder:

Yes. For me, a person is a person at conception- meaning as soon as that sperm and that egg are connected, that is a living human being.

(Second link www.answerbag.com/)

Others in society think abortion is not murder:

No, I don’t think its murder. I don’t think that potential is enough to make it a person. It is nothing more than a glob of cells. (Third link www.answerbag.com/)

Saying that a baby can be killed because it may have a bad life is not an excuse to have an abortion. People, who abort, don’t want to think further ahead, and abort the fetus instead of giving it in adoption.

Pregnancies are terminated because of irresponsible people who don’t want children at the time. Abortion should be the very last option and should be avoided at all cross.
