Abortion

Official Statement: from the Wesleyan Church Prolife Task Force "Position Paper on Activity in Opposition of Abortion"

"The Wesleyan Church takes a strong pro-life position on the issue of abortion. The Discipline of The Wesleyan Church sets forth the following statement in its section of "Special Directions": Abortion. The Wesleyan Church seeks to recognize and preserve the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and, thus, is opposed to the use of induced abortion. However, it recognizes that there may be rare pregnancies where there are grave medical conditions threatening the life of the mother, which could raise a serious question about taking the life of the unborn child. In such a case, a decision should be made only after very' prayerful consideration following medical and spiritual counseling. The Wesleyan Church encourages its members to become informed about the abortion issue and to become actively involved locally and nationally in the preparation and passage of appropriate legislation guaranteeing protection of life under law to unborn children."
