It was a rhetorical question so what you’re saying is under no circumstances. Can a baby be aborted?
I’m asking for view points and specific sincerely
I consider willful abortion, the direct and intentional destruction of a living human in utero, to be always murder.
A) A Down Syndrome child should not be aborted.
B) In truth no preborn child should be murdered.
Making exceptions, as for forcible rape or medical complication, makes any argument against abortion arbitrary and untenable. Cookie-Cutter Conservatives/Christians like Sean Hannity are foolishly misled and misleading.
I have been personally vilified by women claiming to be Christian while I was taking this public stand in ministry - costing me social status and a potential marriage partner - so I do not take it casually.
The direction of life is forward. Just as a husband should risk his life for his wife, so a mother should risk her life for her child. We all die - and there are worse things than death!
(I abhor Lifeboat Ethics which are espoused by the Fuller Theological - read: Frankfurt School - type of heretics.)
Setting aside the spiritual and theological implications, there is the practical one: Doctors are not gods, much less the God. Their medical opinions are just that, opinions, and are often wrong (though they are legally protected from consequences in their failings as long as they followed standard protocol). They do not know the future.
For a Christian, placing absolute faith in a human doctor (who, in today’s culture, likely has no regard for faith or God) is to deny the possiblity of God’s gracious intervention.
