Christians, whether republican or and democrat, often see the issue of abortion from different perspectives. For many Christian’s the issue of abortion is settled by scripture that’s says, “Thou shall not kill”. Many Christians also suggest, “Life trumps choice”.
While other Christians, who likewise agree that “Life” is the right choice biblically, but realize that not all Americans practice, or adhere to biblical principles, or practice the same faith. Complicating matters are the laws governing the separation of Church and State, and the many hypocrisies of imperfect people with, and without, Christianity as the bases of their faith. Most devout Christians would agree, in a perfect world, scratch that, in heaven, there will be perfect beings making perfect choices.
Christians may differ on whether, or not, there are circumstances that would justify abortion, Christian’s in general agree sins of commission, or omission, are ultimately forgivable by God. Christian’s also agree, consequences of sin are between the individual and God, as the faith teaches all are free will beings.
Though we live in a nation founded on Judea-Christian principles, we also live in a nation of religious freedoms. Therefore, basing the legality of abortion purely on Christian values would be unconstitutional. Abortion is more an issue of what is humane.
