  • abortion
    • islam
      • human life is precious because it is God given - it is sacred and only god should decide when life ends - sanctity of life
        • "if anyone kills a person[...] it is as if he kills all mankind"
        • muslims should value life
      • many muslims consider the quality of life when addressing the value of a life
        • abortion should be allowed if the foetus will be born with disabilities or if it was result of ****
      • for many muslims abortion is haram but allowed in particular circumstances
        • so abortion is seen as the lesser of 2 evils - the mother already has a life and responsibilities but the foetus is only potential life
      • qur'an forbids abortion is the reason given is that the parents are unable to afford another child
        • "do not kill your children in fear of poverty - we shall provide for them and for you - killing is a great sin"
      • the earlier an abortion is carried out the better - before ensoulemnnt
        • one of the greatest sins is "murdering an innocent soul"
    • christian
      • sanctity of life - humans are made in image od God - life is sacred, precious and a god-given blessing
        • "before i formed you in the womb i knew you[...] i set you apart"
      • catholic church and many evangeliical christians believe that life starts at conception
        • so abortion is wrong except to save a woman's life
        • "it does not matter whether you take away a life that is born or destroy one that is coming to the birth. in both instances destruction is murder"
      • other christian denominations oppose abortion but believe that it is acceptable in some circumstances
        • church of nelganf and methodist chirches say that sometimes it is the lesser of 2 evils if the qol of the baby is poor
