This is an essay depicting the different ways that Christians might respond when faced with the issues of abortion and euthanasia.

Although all Christians believe abortion and euthanasia are both evils, different denominations react differently in the actual situations. The Roman Catholic Church does not accept euthanasia or abortion whatever the circumstances. If someone in the Church were pregnant, they would do whatever they could to talk the woman out of having an abortion, and would suggest adoption as a possible option. However, although they are totally against abortion, they still offer pastoral care to women …

…people so the need for abortion does not arise. However, on the other hand, they have quite strict boundaries about abortion, whereas the Quakers don't. They are also strict about euthanasia. The Salvation Army, when faced with abortion, tries to persuade the mother not to have an abortion, but they would support the mother if she did have an abortion. They oppose any proposals to legalise euthanasia and they don't accept it under any circumstances.
