Can a Christian vote for unlimited abortion?

I don't believe that a Christian can morally vote for unlimited abortion.

The Sixth Commandment is very simple and very clear ... 'Thou shalt not kill'.

It means that you cannot kill yourself or another Human Being, except in self defence (or the defence of another Human Being) where no other option is available.
This is the basis for all laws protecting the person and criminalising the killing of other people in Common Law Jurisprudence.

Induced abortion is ethically and morally wrong ... except where the life of the mother is directly threatened and there is no other option available to save her.

This is the current law in Ireland.

Voting to expand Irish Law to allow the unlimited killing of unborn children is not something that any Christian (or other monotheist, indeed) can do in conscience and in clear contravention of the Sixth Commandment of God.

I don't think. So?

Fixed your post to increase accuracy.

Abortion while being a divisive topic teaches us something
the weak must fear the strong

About the nine million people who die of hunger related diseases. What are you doing about it?

If at the time of voting for abortion, they were in ignorance, and ultimately genuinely repented, of course God will forgive them.

I'm afraid that you can't "easily repent" as you say. It must be genuine repentence from the bottom of the heart.

OK, my bad.

Would it be ok if christians voted for unlimited abortion and then, at a later date, genuinely and wholeheartedly repented?

I am again pleading with people to repent of their sins, lest they be cast into exterior darkness. Listen to me.

Of course. God is offering you one choice among others. You decide which choice you make.

So what's this thread even about so?

You are entitled to your choice. God gave you this freedom. However, you have made the wrong choice.

There is only one God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There are no other gods.

Cool, so you can crack on have as many abortions as you like and so long as you repent on your death bed all is forgiven and you enter the kingdom of god but if you've practised safe sex using contraception and by doing so avoided the need for an abortion but omitted to repent this mortal sin before you die you burn in hell for eternity?

If you genuinely seek forgiveness from the bottom of your heart, God will forgive you, and you will enter the everlasting Kingdom.

Whether or not you agree with abortion you seem to be lacking empathy, understanding and forgiveness.

Those who commit abortion must seek forgiveness now.

Oh yes I do. And so does everybody who follows His Law.
