Anyway, this is the secular approach. I think that seeing abortion as murder is related to how one sees the soul. Though there is no one commonly accepted theological viewpoint on the process by which personality and the soul are formed. Everyone understands that the body is only the envelope, the receptacle for the soul. But there exist at least five theological points of view about when the soul settles into its bodily home, ranging from the soul preceding the embryo to the simultaneous creation of all souls together.
Maternal love is equal to divine love, but divine love is superior.
Therefore abortion is in essence the beginning of the decline of morality. A child begins to lie and the first time he blushes, then he gets used to lying, and so it is in this case. For example, Catholicism is categorical in its very essence, and in particular it is against abortion and birth control using modern methods of contraception. The Orthodox Church is not so categorical. It always paid great attention to the living conditions of its congregation.
