In this paper, we will explore the moral issue of abortion from the perspective of Christian ethics. As a normative ethical theory, Christian ethics provides a clear basis for arguing against abortion as a moral issue, grounded in the belief in the sanctity of human life and the obligation to love and care for the vulnerable. Drawing on this framework, we will consider several detailed arguments against abortion, including the belief that life is a precious gift from God and the Christian responsibility to protect the unborn. Finally, we will explore how one's stance on this issue impacts personal behavior, including supporting pro-life organizations and advocating for alternatives to abortion, such as adoption.
