There are such "religious folks out there", but you probably won't meet any here. [Looks like I was wrong!]
'In 2011, the Guttmacher Institute reported that two out of three women having abortions in the U.S. identified as Christian. The same report said that of all U.S. abortions, 37% were undertaken by women who identified as Protestant, and 28% were Catholic. The number of abortions performed on U.S. Catholic women is about the same per capita as the average in the general U.S. population; in the 2000s, Catholic women were 29% more likely to have an abortion than Protestant women. A 1996 study found that one out of five U.S. abortions was performed on a woman who was born-again or evangelical Christian....
In countries where the dominant religion is Catholicism, abortions are higher per capita than the worldwide average, says the Alan Guttmacher Institute. The estimated number of abortions per year in Brazil is roughtly 1 million to 2 million. Peru, another Catholic country, each year sees abortions initiated by 5% of women in their childbearing years, whereas 3% of such women have abortions in the U.S. Catholics for Choice reports that Italy—97% Catholic—is 74% in favor of using Mifepristone, an abortifacient. A majority of Catholics in Bolivia, Colombia and Mexico say that abortion should be allowed in at least some circumstances.
In Nigeria, a 1999 study of 1,516 women having abortions determined that 69% were Protestant, 25% were Muslim, and the remainder were Catholic and other religions.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_abor...
I had a girlfriend once whose Catholic parents had forced her to have an abortion when she was younger.

Let's see... If the fetus could potentially harm the mother or even kill her, then abortion could be necessary.. An abortion before the heartbeat begins is not really murder IMO (4 to 7 weeks pregnant). Actually I don't think one could consider any type of 1st trimester abortion to be murder. No one has a funeral for a miscarriage so why would one say that a 1st trimester abortion is murder? Now, if the fetus is old enough to live outside the womb (20 weeks) and the woman can feel the baby moving inside of her and stuff, that is definitely murder!! I don't see how any woman could do that to her baby. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it... Lastly, all aborted babies go to Heaven. Essentially, abortion is a good thing for the baby if it obtained a spirit while in the womb. The mother saved her child from enduring the hardships of life and evil of the world. She wouldn't have to worry about her child as he/she grows up.. The baby has already made it to Heaven..

Abortion is murder and a person can know this for certain if he or she practices devotion to the rоѕаrу.

No matter what, murder is murder and many religious groups support
abortion, and even take care of the payment for women who want to
abort their unborn child.
Life begins at conception and the woman is the mother of the child--no God fearing woman could murder an innocent person--let alone
her own helpless child.

Your mum should have aborted you - kidding.
I'm atheist, and I'd say that no one should suffer pain. But I'm sure that abortion is done before the foetus develops feelings it is so that he/she doesn't experience any pain, but I could be wrong.

Religious folks maybe. Christians NO! It is the devil's workshop of murdering innocent babies. Adopt or Abstain.!

You can find religious folks that agree with anything. A little known fact is that Hitler was a Catholic from birth to death. Religious people that are okay with things that are contrary to what their faith's book or leader teaches though are what is known as hypocrites.

I agree. It's not the child's fault if theres a rape. I would keep it or put it up for adoption.
