== Christian and pro-Abortion?  ==
We are all sinners. At some point, we regularly compromise our Christian principles out of pride, lust, fear, or some form of hypocrisy.
Abortion, however challenges a Christian believer in it far more profoundly.
Take the death penalty: scripture neither condemns it nor hides it: it's all over the Bible, especially that little part about the Crucifix. Think about it: Christ does not condemn the execution itself (a grotesque and cruel punishment), and neither do the Apostles. Peter condemns the Jews killing God, not the two thieves.
Yet, one gets a sincere hatred of putting a fellow man to death. However, to love you neighbor is not incompatible with the consequences of sin. Sin is, after all, death.
With abortion, there is no ambiguity: the infant committed no crime; the Bible condemns child sacrifice; and Scripture is clear that the life of the soul starts at conception. Look no further than the Annunciation.
