Religious Teachings on the Sanctity of Life
Christians- God is interested and invloved in each humans life. Life is sacred and a gift from God. Only God should take life away. Abortion is not allowed unless there is a choice between the mother's or childs life.
Islam- Every soul has been created by Allah. Allah has a plan for each life. Muslims believe the child does not receive its soul until 120 days after conception. Until this point the mothers rights are considered more important than the childs.
SPUC- Society for the Protection of Unborn Children - wants abortion to be illegal - unless the mothers life is at danger.
Abortion Rights- Defends safe, legal abortions. Opposes any lower of the 24 week limit.
Relgious views on Fostering and Adoption
The Roman Catholic Church encourage adoption as an alternative to abortion.
Muslims believe more in blood ties, so fostering is more acceptable.
