ABORTION
We believe that human life begins at conception, and that the unborn child is a living human being, and that God highly values children and encourages married couples to have a quiver full of them, as He empowers them to do so. Treating children as either unnecessary or secondary is not what God prefers from married couples. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control are acceptable. Adoption is always the best alternative to abortion.
