And you are NOT able to approve of abortion in these instances of rape, incest, severe deformity or ‘a direct threat to the life of the mother’? Not even in these cases?
I've heard every excuse in the book for abortion and it all gets back to making life and death judgements about other PEOPLE. A baby is a person, it's not property to be disposed of. We can't decide for it that not having legs makes it too pitiful to live. I have CP in my family and they love life and want to live and have never known anything but a hard life. It's their life, not mine, and I don't have the right to feel they don't deserve to live.
It's a tough thing for a woman to carry a baby to term that was raped, but the baby is innocent and had nothing to do with the crime. That's why we have adoption.
“And you are NOT able to approve of abortion in these instances of rape, incest, severe deformity or a direct threat to the life of the mother? Not even in these cases?”
No, I’m an orthodox Christian. I don’t believe in EVER murdering innocent babies. In a case of rape - that baby is innocent. He has committed no crime. Why should his life be ended because his biological father did something evil? In incest, again, that baby is innocent and does not deserve to be die. In cases concerning the life of the mother, every effort, no matter how costly, should be made to save the lives of both. Under no circumstance is it a moral choice to deliberately take the life of an innocent person (we call that murder after all). I should also point out that abortions for rape, incest, and life of the mother amount to less than 2 percent of all abortions so these situations are not even that common.
There’s never a moral reason to murder an innocent baby. Never.
