Christianity and abortion : ウィキペディア英語版 | Christianity and abortion
Christianity and abortion has a long and complex history as there is no explicit prohibition of abortion in either the Old Testament or New Testament books of the Christian Bible, and additionally, as that Jewish law is most often interpreted as that an unborn child has the status of "potential human life" until the majority of the body has emerged from the mother and that life begins at birth with breath through the nostrils, based on Genesis 2:7.〔http://www.jewfaq.org/sex.htm Judaism 100. ''Kosher Sex - Abortion.〕〔http://www.myjewishlearning.com/practices/Ethics/Our_Bodies/Themes_and_Theology/Body_and_Soul.shtml My Jewish Learning.''Body & Soul".〕 While some writers say that early Christians held different beliefs at different times about abortion,〔(When Children Became People: the birth of childhood in early Christianity ) by Odd Magne Bakke〕〔("Abortion and Catholic Thought: The Little-Told History" )〕〔(Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood ) by Kristin Luker, University of California Press〕 others say that, in spite of the silence of the New Testament on the issue, they condemned abortion at any point of pregnancy as a grave sin,〔(Jeffrey H. Reiman, ''Abortion and the Ways We Value Human Life'' (Rowman & Littlefield 1998 ISBN 978-0-8476-9208-8), pp. 19-20 )〕 a condemnation that they maintained even when some of them did not qualify as homicide the elimination of a fetus not yet "formed" and animated by a human soul.〔(Daniel Schiff, ''Abortion in Judaism'' (Cambridge University Press 2002 ISBN 978-0-521-52166-6), p. 40 )〕 The Didache, a Christian writing usually dated to sometime in the mid to late 1st century, prohibits abortion in Ch 2.〔(Didache "English translations of the Didache at Early Christian Writings" )〕 ==Range of positions taken by Christian denominations==
A great deal of variation exists in terms of how contemporary Christian denominations view abortion.〔("Religious Groups’ Official Positions on Abortion" ) Pew Forum〕〔("Where does God stand on abortion?" ) USA Today〕 Nonetheless, some Christian denominations can be considered anti-abortion while others may be considered abortion rights supporters. Additionally, there are sizable minorities in all denominations that disagree with their denomination's stance on abortion.〔 Daniel C. Maguire asserts that European-generated "mainline" Protestant denominations have clearly moved in the direction of accepting family planning and contraception as well as "support for legal access to abortion, although with qualifications regarding the moral justification for specific acts of abortion." This general trend among "mainline" Protestant denominations has been resisted by Christian Fundamentalists who are generally opposed to abortion. Thus, religious leaders in more liberal Christian denominations became supporters of abortion rights while Evangelical and other conservative Protestants found themselves allied with the Catholic Church which remained staunchly anti-abortion.
