RELIGION AND ABORTION
• BUDDHISM
Orthodox Jews oppose abortion after the 40th day, with health-related
exceptions, and reform Jews tend to allow greater latitude for abortion.
Life is holy, pure and inviolable, and we must respect it as we respect God,
the giver of life. Throughout the whole Bible it is clear that God knows all
things, also that which is to come, and has known this from eternity. In this
way He has also always known each person, each life – even before
conception.
Christianity is based on faith in the Almighty God, and in His creating power, both in
natural and in spiritual things. The Bible, being the Word of God, is the basis for how
we conduct our lives. Our trust is in God, the Almighty Creator, who knows all things –
also the lives of those yet unborn. We, His creation, are called to live before Him in
reverence and awe, with full, unwavering faith in His boundless love, goodness and
wisdom. Any decision made with God brings rest and peace. We believe that many
lives would have been spared if God had been sought before these decisions were
made.
• God’s view on Human Life
To end the life of the unborn signifies that life is not precious
and important, and to do so is in direct opposition to God’s
value of His creation. All humanity is precious to God.
Life is holy, pure and inviolable, and we must
respect it as we respect God, the giver of life.
Throughout the whole Bible it is clear that God
knows all things, also that which is to come, and

before conception.
