A new landmark statement formalising the Christian position on abortion with a doctrinal emphasis has been published online.

The Life Affirmation has been drafted by a group of anonymous Christians holding academic qualifications in theology and in medicine, as well as experience in pastoral ministry.

Organisers hope that individuals, churches and other organisations will be enabled to clarify their own thinking on abortion, if that is needed and, secondly, publicly declare their position by signing the statement in obedience to the Biblical command to ‘be a voice for the voiceless’.
