I'm sorry but being this is the philosophy forum, not the agree with everyone forum, my philosophy is abortion is contrary to being a Christian. You may have a different philosophy on it, but to me, murder is murder, and a child is no less a child prior to birth.
Likewise my philosophy is such that I personally don't care about abortions, I think its just Darwin working his magic so to speak. I no longer consider myself a Christian and as such I do no feel bound by their rules. I found rather then trying to twist the faith to fit my philosophy, it was better to start from scratch.
You of course are free to think and feel what you want, but don't expect me to think Christians who support abortion are good Christians. If I believed in the Christian faith, I would not want to face my maker knowing I supported abortion.
I know this is a touchy issue, but having first hand seen the negative effects of abortion, and the possitive effects of adoption, and I am only speaking of the effects on mother involved, I see no way I can change my view of it.
So until you have had someone very close to you, break down in tears over having had an abortion, (not my doing thank you), please don't tell me what to think about the issue as well.
