Religion and Abortion



           “Judeo-Christian tradition going back thousands of years has always valued human life, including unborn human life”.  The Catholic Church believes “life is sacred and inviolable.”  This can affect how a woman feels about continuing her relationship or not.  In the bible, it says “thou shall not kill”. Abortion is like killing a human. Although some people disagree and say it’s only a fetus and not a human yet. Is that true? When is a fetus is considered a “human”? Some women argue that it’s their body and they can do whatever they want. That is true, but what about the child? The child is already a human. According to other the baby is a human at the beginning of conception.


Religions that are profile are Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The Church of England is a little on both sides. They think it’s a crime to kill an innocent unborn child like the rest of the religions, but when the abortion is being done for disability reasons it’s more acceptable.  

I found a really interesting website where they have many facts and women can get help.  It showed so many different views on abortion and some on religion. This was one of the most interesting websites I found. This is an every day problem for women across America. Many women feel the need to have an abortion for multiple reasons. Some may not be financially stable, others might be too young. When your own religion is saying something is wrong but you cant afford to please your religion, what do you do?
