Seems this issue is heating up with the confermation of Roberts to the supreme court. The ELCA's possision, like it has with many other conterversial things, put sort of a wishy washy statement about the abortion issue...I guess in the effort not to offend anyone.
I know how many conservatives in the ELCA feel about this, what realy interests me is how the more liberal side of the ELCA feel about this issue. IS abortion murder? Only under certain circumstances? Should the church have a stronger possision about this issue either for or against?
I myself believe life is a gift from God. Used to be more liberal on this point, tell my first daughter was born. Looking at her I knew she was a gift, and I had a responsibility towards her. Anyway, I know this is a hot issue, but another thread that sort of touched on this issue got me thinking, as well as the Roberts confermation.
