Philosophy abortion
... A quote from the bible which seems to support the view that abortion is wrong is from Psalm 139:13, (verses 15-16) “You created every part of me; You put me together in my mother’s womb… When my bones were being formed, Carefully put me together in my mother’s womb. ... If this is true, and the quote seems to be saying that it is, then abortion would have to be seen as a crime on the same level as murder. ... ” So, if we were to consider only this quote then we would have to see abortion as fundamentally wrong, any justification for abortion would become a justification for murder, and we can see no justification for murder, the ultimate sin. ... ” This seems to suggest, as did the last quote, that God decides the fate of the child before it is born; abortion would prevent the child from fulfilling its potential. This would be fundamentally wrong and would not have any justification, in performing an abortion. ... The Catholic Church holds the view that abortion is wrong. ... The fetus is a human being and so to have an abortion simply to save the mother’s life would be to make a decision to kill one person for the sake of another. ... The people who agreed with abortion in certain circumstances would argue against the view that the fetus is as much a life as the mother.
