Abortion and Euthanasia
We believe that human life is sacred; that life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the taking of unborn human life. We reject the teaching that abortions of pregnancies for exceptional reasons are acceptable. We believe the direct taking of innocent human life is a moral evil. Life is a gift of God and must be respected until natural death. We believe that over-zealous medical treatment for life support is not natural and may be avoided.
