The Catholic Church opposes abortion because it believes that life is sacred and inviolable. In 1995, Pope John Paul II wrote an encyclical letter called Evangelium Vitae (the Gospel of Life) in which he spoke of "the sacred value of human life from its very beginning.
Islam teaches that life begins at conception and is created by God. The unborn child has certain rights such as the right to care, protection and life. Abortion on any grounds is forbidden in the Islamic holy book Al'Quran. "Do not kill or take a human life which God has declared to be sacred." (Chapter 6,verse 151)
Generally, the Orthodox Churches forbid abortion as going against the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill'. The Russian Orthodox Church condemned abortion in its The Church and the Nation published in 2000.
ok so how do I feel about it, I think to be honest something I cannot agree with. Ok if I had a child, I could never kill it. Children for me is a no no, but if I did have one I would give him/her up for adoption. To be fair I understand where people who are young, may have to give it up. But I see it as children are our future, and if you go round aborting children, what are we going to be left with.
I have put up a link and it is about statistics on abortion...
