In a society that views choice and autonomy as sacrosanct, the "choice' to abort an unplanned child is defended vigorously by many.

For Christians, each new human conception begins someone who is a precious new instance of the image of God.

The Social Issues Executive has recently published a Christian response to the issue of abortion, exploring what makes so many women continue to abort.

It also aks how as a community we might better support women and their unborn children.

The brevity of the material makes it an ideal resource for believers wishing to get an overview of the key issues, or to hand to those interested in a Bible-based opinion.

The pamphlet is the second in a series addressing key social issues for Christians.

Also available is The Environment - A Christian response.
