Robert Benne has said otherwise "...the sacrality of all nascent human life, which should be taken only for the weightiest of reasons." - from a letter to Lutheran Core. So it would seem there are reasons were abortion can be the correct choice this is the teaching of the ELCA. <br /><br />Robert Benne goes on to list these reasons in his book "Ordinary Saints" that abortion is permissible when the health of the mother is at severe risk, cases of a malformed fetus where the child would not have a chance to survive, cases of rape and incest or other serious circumstances that could occur. <br /><br />You can be sure if Bob Benne says it Mark and Gerry will too. <br /><br />Abortion on demand is wrong this is what we are opposed to but I don't think it is fair to say all abortion is murder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
