Many religions have strong stances against abortion, often based on beliefs about the sanctity of life and the beginning of personhood.
Here are some religious groups generally opposed to abortion:
- Roman Catholicism: The Catholic Church considers abortion a grave moral evil and teaches that human life begins at conception.
- Eastern Orthodox Church: Similar to Catholicism, the Eastern Orthodox Church views abortion as a sin against God and a violation of the sanctity of life.
- Evangelical Protestants: A majority of Evangelicals hold the belief that abortion is morally wrong, often citing the Bible's teachings on the sanctity of life.
- Hinduism: While there is a range of views within Hinduism, many Hindus oppose abortion based on the belief in the sanctity of life from conception.
However, it's important to remember that these are general trends, and individual beliefs within these religions vary.
