I see that I was in error when I considered giving you the benefit of the doubt. Frankly, you (and the Pope) should be more concerned about pro-abortion bishops than with our business.

Since you must have missed Gamecock’s post 16, here’s a link to the full report:

REPORT OF THE AD INTERIM COMMITTEE ON ABORTION
6th General Assembly, 1978, Appendix O, pages 270 - 281.
http://www.pcahistory.org/pca/2-015.html

Abortion in distinction from miscarriage, is the intentional killing of an unborn child between conception and birth. The moral question raised in any abortion is whether the life of the unborn child is included in the Biblical teaching respecting the sanctity of life. The special protection God gives to human life is founded upon His making man “in His own image” (Gen. 1:26, 27. All scripture quotations are from the New American Standard Bible). So basic is this to His created order that God declares: “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man” (Gen. 9:6). This protection is then summarized in the sixth commandment, “You shall not murder” (Ex. 20:13; cf. Westminster Shorter Catechism, pp. 68-69, and Westminster Larger Catechism, pp. 135-136, where the requirements and prohibitions of the commandment are set forth).

1. That because Scripture clearly affirms the sanctity of human life and condemns its arbitrary destruction, we affirm that the intentional killing of an unborn child between conception and birth, for any reason at any time, is clearly a violation of the Sixth Commandment; Adopted.

Then why did the Baptist support Abortion.. That is a Fact no Matter what you want to Say... The Baptist as a Man Made Organization Made a Call to Support abortiom...

The Catholic Church the Mystical Body of Christ founded by Christ .. never supported Abortion!
