They are gifts from god and god deems these gifts of life as sacred, and so they do, too. As they put it, to have an abortion is not only a sin (murder), it is a blasphemy against god's wishes, since it's god's will that a woman get pregnant (or not). Traditionally, Christian women take the role of motherhood very seriously, too. They see it as their god-given role in life...a childless woman is a sad thing, apparently. So, in summation, god gave women the role of child-bearer (which is important, just not as important as being a man, apprently) and babies are his blessed gift to humanity, and it should be an honor to any woman to have one. To have an abortion is to spit in god's eye and his plans for humanity. Or so I've been told.

I'm a single woman, pushing 30, with no rugrats, no plans to have rugrats, and I couldn't be happier.
