Introduction St. Thomas of Aquinas was an Italian catholic priest of the Dominican wing. He lived from January 1225 to March 1274. He was a widely read scholar who made great contributions in the fields of religion, mathematics, metaphysics and philosophy among many more. He descended from a family of noble people. He was a priest of Thomism and considered to be one of the first proponents of natural theology. This paper seeks to first state his views on abortion and moves ahead to analyse its impacts on the society. His exact stand on abortion and whether it is misinterpreted today will also be analysed. In the end, the paper will evaluate the debate on abortion on whether it should be supported or not. The position taken in this article is that abortion is unethical, non-religious, and immoral and should therefore be illegalized and condemned. Aquinas’ views Thomas Aquinas is one of the greatest theologians in the world to have ever come from the Catholic Church in particular. The doctrines of his denomination completely oppose abortion from all angles. Their history however, shows that the church tends to understand when the circumstances do not allow other alternatives. For instance, when a medical process demands that a cancerous womb must be removed from an expectant mother (Berk 67). This process must call for the direct termination of the life of the foetus. Otherwise, the life of the mother will be in danger. Traditionally, medical practitioners would sign the certificate although whoever carried out the operation and whoever was operated upon must repent. St. Aquinas argued that God creates the rational human soul in the unborn baby forty days after conception in a male child and between eighty and ninety days if the child is female. Thomas captured this in his views on human ensoulment, abortion and the value of life (Farrell 53). This has been interpreted by some scholars to mean that St. Thomas of Aquinas supported abortion at the early stages of the life of pregnancy. The proponents of this argument believe that abortion before the formation as referred to by Aquinas could be tantamount to normal operation because there is no soul whose life is terminated. In any case, it is not yet formed. Thomas made this remarks after the teachings of Aristotle whom he read his work so much. Aristotle argued that a child takes human life and thus becomes human when it takes the human form. He called this process formation. This is where a child makes a movement that can be felt or recognized. Thomas postulated that this happens between the sixth and eighteenth week after conception. Thomas seems to have made this statement after following Aristotle’s views on animation and a series of other theological, philosophical and canon statements that agreed on the time of formation. It is however surprising to note the clique that he used (Berk 83). Thomas’ views to support abortion do not mention that he averred that abortion itself is a violation of natural law and remains wrong doing irrespective of when animation occurs. He is quoted to have advised doctors to quit conducting abortion. My Take I hold the views that the sanctity of human life must be respected from the time of conception. Immediately conception takes place, what is formed has all rights to be left to devel
