No good Christian recommends abortion

Ahh, so even if the mother's life is in danger a good Christian doctor would not recommend abortion because it is "murder"?

I know the family, and the doctor. He is a good man, and a faithful Christian. This baby was dead before it was born. The doctor was trying to spare it and the family needless suffering.

We are all dead before we are born. In our beginning is our end. What was the baby doing for the 18 months it was with us?

I'm not clear here on what you're talking about. If the baby was dead, then it's a miscarriage, and removing a dead fetus is not abortion. If the baby was alive, then killing it was murder.

Nobody has a right to kill someone else in order to avoid suffering. If that were the case, we would all be dead, for we have all suffered and we have all caused suffering. Dealing with suffering patiently and creatively --- and not destructively --- is how we grow in humanity.
