Protection or funding of abortion

Tier 1 - Hard Disqualifier

Support for abortion as a legal right or as a publicly funded good.

Principle: Sixth commandment; image of God; protection of innocent life.

Scripture: Genesis 1:27, Genesis 9:6, Exodus 20:13, Psalm 139:13-16

Reformed rationale: The sixth commandment protects innocent life. Civil rulers may not treat the unborn as disposable without incurring bloodguilt.
