The following excepts come from our Information Sheet "Abortion Overview 2022"". See that document for references.    

Abortion refers to the premature termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the expulsion of the baby from the womb before the baby is able to survive.  An abortion which happens spontaneously is called a miscarriage.   An elective abortion is one that is chosen, and the term abortion is most commonly used in this sense.

The classical Hippocratic oath (c 4^th century B.C.E.) stated:  “I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.  I will not give a lethal drug to anyone ...; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.” ¹

            Abortion in our present world has become one of the most common surgical procedures ever done.  Approximately 42 million per year worldwide make it the world’s leading cause of death.(3) While it is demanded as “health care” it does not cure any disease or repair any damage, but rather almost always kills a healthy child within the womb of a healthy mother.   See separate information sheet: “Abortion Statistics.”

Why do women choose to abort their children?  Single women (a large majority of those aborting) may want to conceal their sexual activity, or be unready to be a single parent. Poverty is another strong influence, along with a variety of other social reasons.

            In many cases, it is NOT the mother’s choice to abort, but she is coerced or forced into the abortion by parents or male partner who is unwilling to share in the consequences of the pregnancy.  Rape, incest, or serious danger to the mother’s health account for only a very small percentage of abortions.  See separate information sheet “Why Women Have Abortions.” 

            See the topic "After Abortion" to read about how women - and others - suffer after abortion.

The Christian View:  Every child, no matter what the circumstances of his or her conception, is created by God in His image.  “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..” Jeremiah 1:5.  “Thou shalt not kill” applies to the preborn as well as those who have been born.
