Abortion

Abortion is probably one of the most controversial topics of all. Some see it as “bad” regardless of circumstance whereas others have a more liberal view and recognise that in some cases it is in the best interest of all concerned.

The problem we have to acknowledge is how we determine when life begins. According to the church life begins at conception and therefore abortion is murder. It could be argued that life begins at the first heartbeat or when the nervous system is fully formed. In any case this is the definitive factor that helps us decide whether it is right or wrong. This website has some interesting facts on abortion http://www.abortionfacts.com/.

It could be argued that it is more acceptable for a young person who has no job, is studying and has no house of their own is more justified to abort a baby then someone who is financially and emotionally stable. It is understandable that if it is in the best interest in the life/potential life in question then it is the right thing to do.
