Is there any Religion that considers Abortion on Demand (ie. not for medical reasons) acceptable?

In watching our leaders' reaction to the pending Rowe decision, I'm wondering how they square their claims of religious belief/piety with their vehement support of Abortion on Demand.

Do most religions treat abortion as a 3rd rail, and not address it, or do any actually say, "it's your choice, alone"?

But surely they know the difference between a recently born baby and a fetus past a certain point of gestation is minimal, yet they still consider it acceptable?

Yes, Hinduism (like many pantheist religions) does not have the concept of "Imago Dei", i.e. humans created in the image of God, endowed with a special dignity. Instead, it is an animistic religion, with divinity attributed to various animals (e.g. cows).

In this religion, there is no theological or doctrinal proscription against abortion on demand.

There are branches of “mainline protestantism” (e.g., Presbyterian Church USA) that actively approve of abortion.

wrong

Hindus do not worship the cow or think it represents G-d or a God. Their attitude toward cows comes from their vegetarianism and the belief in the intrinsic nature of life - all living things are improtant.

According to Hindu bioethics, abortion is allowed only in cases where it is necessary for saving the life of the mother. The perspective of Hinduism is a very pro-life one, emphasizing Ahimsa and its intrinsic reverence for life.

Child sacrifice went out with Moloch worship, until modern progressives came along. The progressive Christians I know don’t believe in abortion, and only vote Democrat because they consider it “the lesser of two evils”. That is, the evil of capitalism or whatever their worldly leaders tell them to fear.

WICCANs and Satanist hold the slaughter as a sacred cow tot her religions. Secular Humanism (the actual religion of the left in general) also considers the right to murder an innocent unborn CHILD a sacred cow.

There is in fact no religion in which abortion is condoned or encouraged. (Scientology, that routinely forces abortion on its members, is not a religion.)

However, a whole lot of nice religious people - Xtian and other - are naive or otherwise easily turned. They will not stand up to the Left because they are afraid of being “mean” or “intolerant.”

The United Church of Christ has been on board unrestricted abortion since 1973.

Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 globally, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

There are an estimated 4,200 different religions in the world, and these can be categorized into several main religions. These include Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism, although Roman Catholicism is often categorized under Christianity.

Abortion is considered to be a “rite of passage” to the new wokeism, the adoption of the “new way” of thinking that is supposed to control population, according to the “survival of the fittest” theories of Charles Darwin and Thomas Malthus.

Malthus’s observation that in nature plants and animals produce far more offspring than can survive, and that Man too is capable of overproducing if left unchecked. Malthus concluded that unless family size was regulated, man’s misery of famine would become globally epidemic and eventually consume Man.

Checking the growth of the family is easiest accomplished by killing the baby, preferably while still in the womb. Therefore, in this “new way”, it is a highly moral concept, and in the eyes of its practitioners, a highly desirable objective. Zero or even declining population level changes.

Only, it never works out that way. A lesson that has to be relearned every few years. Consider the cult of Moloch, based on child sacrifice, or ritualistic Baal worship, in which adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would then be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to the deity.

Gruesome, but barbarism is never far from the minds of some.
