18. AbortionWe believe that
human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living
human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified, unexcused taking of
unborn human life. Abortion is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions
of pregnancies due to rape, birth defects, gender selection, birth of
population control, or the mental well being of the mother are acceptable.
