Let me offer another perspective on abortion, one that I held before joining the church.
I myself was against abortion. However, I felt physically sick when I thought of those children born to drug addicts and worse. Why should they have to suffer? Abortion was a much better choice. Of course, I now have much greater knowledge. It is interesting to see how compassion can be used by Satan to turn our minds to support things which are abominations. This is just like the gay-marriage issue, where our compassion can sometimes blind us. But as we all know, mercy cannot rob justice, and compassion cannot trump eternal laws.
