The religious man or woman, say of the Christian fundamentalist
persuasion (Catholics too) is deathly opposed to abortion because he
or she believes that permitting or sanctioning such a thing for any
human female is detrimental to his or her eternal soul. The soul is
eternal according to this Christian belief. It is eternal and can not
be destroyed. It immutable, it is the constant in the life and
afterlife of all humanity. Belief has nothing to do with its
existence because whether there is belief or not the soul exists.
Consider this constant the same as physicists since Max Planck have
postulated that the speed of light is constant and can not be
exceeded.
Christianity
teaches, and whether this was put forth by Jesus Christ himself I
could not say, perhaps through the teachings of Saul/St. Paul, the
Roman police agent who was actually a pharisee responsible for
arresting people and placing them in a situation where they could get
the death penalty for heresy or apostasy. The world according to
Saul/Paul, police agent, is chaotic, mutable (unlike the soul)
pitiless and painful but the after life is a place to be counted upon
to be the opposite of the world. Death is the gatekeeper to that
better world but to fuck up that afterlife by sinning mortally in the
earthly world eliminating your chances for a wonderful afterlife you
have forfeited for all eternity your soul’s opportunity to be with
God.
Murder is such a sin
that will send your soul for eternity to a place that is even worse
than your life on earth. It has been described as hell. Many authors
have described this place. This sin of murder is very simple. It is
ending the life of another human prematurely through violence of some
kind. Christians believe abortion is a violent ending of a life
prematurely.
Thus, anyone
sanctioning this violent end, even if not present but declaring that
such an end is allowed through legal means is considered the same
mortal sin. And anyone assisting in said abortion is considered to
having commited this mortal sin. Just voicing ascension of abortion
is a mortal sin. Even acquiesing is the same as being guilty. Think
accessory to the crime.
This is the insanity
of religion.
