Abortion

There is much controversy about abortion with many legal, political, religious, cultural and social views about it. The Spiritual View offers a healing approach when conflict arises about abortion.

What is the conflict surrounding abortion? It’s the thoughts about it – that it should or should not be needed, available and performed.

Where do these “should” thoughts come from? They come from the cultural, medical, religious, legal and political positions about the existence of a fetus, the circumstances of the pregnant woman, the man who impregnated her and other concerns.

When these conflicting views are entrenched and sides are taken, there is no peace, just contention.

While all of these positions can bring resolution to many situations, they do not always bring peace and clarity in every instance. What may be helpful is a new view of the situation. With the Spiritual View what is helpful in any situation regarding abortion is what brings clarity, intelligence, peace, assurance and goodwill whether there is an abortion or not.

Our primary concern must be bringing these qualities to the situation. With this Spiritual View to abort can be good and to not abort can also be good. There can be no one answer for everyone and every situation, as each is a unique story with individual circumstances.

In the Spiritual View “pro-life” is pro, or being here to express, spiritual qualities in life, like clarity and peace, and “pro-choice” means we have the choice of living with the Spiritual View or the Personal View.

This is the Spiritual View of abortion.
