As a non-Hindu Indian American, I believe that abortion is murder. No,
I am not a Christian. Just because you're not a Christian doesn't mean
you don't believe in pro-life. Is abortion considered murder in
Hinduism? If not, please explain yourself as to why abortion isn't
murder?

Hi, I'm Anil, an Indian who believes strongly in the Lord Jesus Christ.
However, I do not refer myself as a "Christian" for certain things.
Several "Christians" have invited me to churches but never wanted to go
(and didn't) because of mixed religious beliefs(Hinduism &
Christianity). One of them, which I was apalled, is that as ubiquitous
oral sex is, I didn't realize even "Christians" find oral sex
acceptable practice rampantly because I was propotitioned by *every*
"Christian" I have met...and I thought "Christians" were "good" people.
This is one of the significant reasons why I have resisted being
refered to as a "Christian." Although, I still believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Any "good Christians" in here who truly believes and practices His
words?
I also understand that Christians separate and distinguish themselves
among Catholics, Baptists, Presbytarians, ... and so on. Why different
Christian sects in the first place?
Also, why are so many priests charged with child molestation?
-- Anil
who will NEVER consider himself as a Christian
What are you up to?
On the topic of abortion, I posted the following article in 1999:
Abortion: A Mad and Bloody River Of Lost Life

As a medical professional for the past thirty years, I
have served patients of varying religions in India,
England, Scotland, Wales and the USA, while also working
with colleagues who are Christian, Moslem, Jewish,
Buddhist, theist or atheist. I do not perform abortions
because my conscience has not approved it so far. I do
not dislike abortionists nor do I have less respect or
love for the individual who undergoes an abortion.
Many physicians (of any religion) perform abortions not
because they like to uphold the flag of abortionists, but
because this fairly easy procedure has not afflicted
their hearts. The time, space, expertise and the total
mental commitment offered to the patient is far less,
while payment is much, much more. To collect a $700
delivery fee from a Medicaid patient for a normal
delivery or C-section, a doctor has to provide entire
pregnancy care; await any midnight calls; go through the
stress of patient and fetal distress; bill the company
and collect later. But an abortion fetches an easy $250.
Being a 30-40 minute office procedure, a comfortable
dozen abortions can be performed in a 9-5 working day.
These physicians of "any religion" think that their
religion has not pointed them in any particular direction
in this matter.
The root cause of any problem, pain or continuous agony
of this procedure lies in its own origin: "the unwanted
baby" and very much "wanted sex." Present society
worldwide is geared toward too much sensual stimulation
of school children, youths and adults through parties,
books, magazines, advertisements, alcohol, drugs, leaving
them in total ignorance of their own involvements and
actions, unaware that "fun" is for a fraction of time,
but the problem of pregnancy is forever. In this mental
state, none of the Ten Commandments of the powerful God,
or the direct preaching of the Bhagavad Gita by Lord
Krishna or the holy words of Mohammed will ever reach
mothers of "unwanted" babies or the hearts of the couples
of the "unwanted baby girls" in certain parts of the
blind world!
My advice to a young doctor faced with the decision of
performing abortions or not, is very simple: go along
with you own true conscience. This procedure is different
from an appendectomy, cholecysectomy, hysterectomy or
craniotomy.
How can any religion help to shrink the depth, width and
the length of this mad and bloody Amazon River washing
away the lives of millions of unborn, innocent and tender
lives? This is a major mind-boggling problem for all
those kind-hearted universal souls. Every religion must
become more approachable, understandable, practical and
acceptable to ordinary, common people. The values of the
basic family and human relationships need to be molded
into the hearts. The very basic moral, ethical, cultured
and civil thought process must be enkindled in the very
basic fibre. Parliamentarians, educators, businessmen,
entertainers and parents must take a step back, look at
the entire awful problem of abortions and, at the outset
at least, help by not supporting and then continue to
eradicate the problem by selfless action and with sound
support to the vulnerable fraction of society.
