In Britain abortion is currently a legal procedure which is undertaken by thousands of women each year. The churches have very different views on abortion. The Roman Catholic Church is against abortion no matter what the circumstances are. The Quakers and the Anglican Church are more open to abortion. Though they are against abortion they believe that it is up to the person and the situation which they are in to decide whether abortion is the right step to take. Christians have different views on abortion as well. Some Christians have clear and defined ideas on whether abortion is right or wrong, others believe that the circumstances of the women is important and do not think that a clear yes or no answer can be given. How Christians act with regard to abortion will depend on what they believe. Christians who are against abortion and are pro-life may show their views in conversations about abortion, encouraging others to be pro-life and trying to impose their views on people who are pro-choice.

A Christian might join a pro - life organisation, which campaigns against abortion, such as life or SPUC (the society for the protection of the unborn Child).

They might believe that it is wrong to do ... ... middle of paper ... ... views in conversations about abortion, explaining why they believe that abortion is sometimes the most loving choice and the lesser of two evils. They may also discourage other people from harshly criticizing women who have had abortions.
