Abortion

We oppose the practice of abortion and urge the active development and employment of alternatives. We believe the practice of abortion is contrary to the revealed, written Word of God, respect for the sanctity of human life, and traditional, historical, and Judeo-Christian medical ethics.

We believe that Biblical Christianity affirms certain basic principles which dictate against interruption of human gestation. These include:

·The ultimate sovereignty of a loving God, the Creator of all life

·The great value of human life transcending that of the quality of life

·The moral responsibility of human sexuality

We affirm the final authority of Scripture, which teaches the sanctity of human life. We also recognize the right of physicians and patients to follow the dictates of individual conscience before God.
