including the Assemblies of God and, more recently, a non-denom bible church. Since these churches do not have a definite stance on the issue Bull!
The Assemblies of God has a very definitive stance on abortion.
Abortion. The Assemblies of God views the practice of abortion as an evil that has been inflicted upon millions of innocent babies and that will threaten millions more in the years to come. Abortion is a morally unacceptable alternative for birth control, population control, sex selection, and elimination of the physically and mentally handicapped. Certain parts of the world are already experiencing serious population imbalances as a result of the systematic abortion of female babies. The advocacy and practice of so-called partial birth abortion of babies is particularly heinous.

Indeed. There are lots of former Catholics who have joined these churches for various reasons, including the vapid liberalism of many faithless priests whose tinkering with the liturgy and explaining away of dogma eroded the faith of many honest people and caused them to flee to churches that offered them some security of heart. What we see happening to the Episcopal Church might have happened to the Catholic Church but for the grace of God which has brought us thirty years of strong papal leadership.

NOT a definitive stance on "abortion" ... a definitive stance on "birth control" ...
