What does your faith say about abortion? Does it label it as murder or can it see a justifiable side?

I really don't believe in abortion for myself. Having said that, I do believe that it is the right of the PARENTS to choose what they want to do.

It would depend entirely on the situation. If someone was pregnant as a result of a rape or incest, would you really expect them to carry that "child" to full term, and then love it, or give it up for adoption? If the child is going to be born severly disabled, and will die before it is 1 year old, would you expect the "mother" to carry that child full-term and then bury it? Do not judge people until you are aware of all the facts.

As long as the pregnancy is claiming the mother's life or is due to bring any sort of danger to her life she'z allowed to go for abortion....but if she'z trying to abort the baby just becoz it's illegitimate or she'z not ready yet or anyother personal reason than it's considered as a great sin....which is a totally unacceptable crime both in the eyes of law and God....by the way i'm a muslim.....:)

Abortion is the same as murder. Did you know that at the very moment of conception the first thing that happens is a heart beat? How can you say that's not alive. And regardless of the circumstances surrounding the conception, it is ultimately God that gives life.

If the woman wants abortion for some reasons, it is good to go for it. The unwanted street child makes lot of problems in the society as they are turned into anti socialists. Better to take precaution before having pregnancy.

I am a Christian and it is murder. There is nothing that justifies killing an innocent life!

Murder of the innocent is still murder; no matter if the Constitution says so or not. Gods Law comes First, in this respect it's the Fifth; "Thou shalt not Kill"! If you think otherwise, then you are calling GOD a liar. Funguy, what do you call God

Abortion is certainly murder. But what leads to it is more dangerous than that. Its ofcourse taking off a life.. but in certain in medical cases, where its danger for one's life or so, its better to go for an abortion. it should not happen, just because one doesnt want the child simply. then its a crime.

I believe it is Murder! If "fetuses" were not alive, why are would-be parents so devastated when they have a miscarriage? If abortion wasn't killing, parents couldn't care less when the pregnancy was ended. . .

My faith says that abortion is fine as long as the woman wants an abortion and is not being made to have one. There are debates around it such as does a foetus have a soul and if it does then will the abortion increase the chances of that soul being trapped on this plane (as a ghost for example). But those are for the individual to decide.
