An article in the Nation newspaper also talks about abortion, and is strongly in support of the clergy, and essentially against the one discussed below in the Standard. This article claims that ‘The pastor and the politician are supposed to complement each other for the well-being of humanity.’ It further claims that all civil laws are legitimate if they comply with the moral law of nature. It states that it is the government’s job to regulate this ‘moral law’ as well as the civil law of the country. It provides references to the Bible, where it is written that the church keeps a ‘moral rein on the secular power of human authorities’. It mainly talks about how the Church has a right to impose its teachings upon the country, and passionately says how denying abortion is fundamental to justice, even in the cases of danger to the mother’s life. It vehemently calls for all Christians to object to this slight allowance of abortion in life-threatening situations, and remain rigid on the ‘no-abortion’ policy.
i agree with this article because abortion is wrong and takes the life of an innocent baby... the government is doing the right thing by stopping it :D
