Abortion And Abortion

Abortion is one of the most tempestuous political, and religious issues in today’s society. This paper will show the different viewpoints and beliefs of Christians on abortion. There are many different platforms regarding the issues of abortion. Abortion draws out conflict between two divergent world views, including the pro-life and pro-choice advocates. Abortion is interpreted in many different ways by various people. Every religion has their own views on the concept of abortion.

For the women who go through with their pregnancies, who are not financially stable or who are irresponsible, results in the neglection of their children, foster care or put up for adoption, led into prostitution, and the abuse of drugs and alcohol. It results in a life time of misery and suffering for the child all because their parents never had their best interest at heart.
