The [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church]] has always opposed [[abortion]]. It considers the practice to be a grave sin which leads to eternal separation from God in all its forms, even in the case of a rape or incest. Prominent leaders of the church have been vocal on the practice, including [[Pope Francis]], who sympathized with its "innocent victims."

Aiding abortion causes automatic [[excommunication]] from the Catholic Church, although in the [[Year of Mercy]] there is a special opportunity for forgiveness and reconciliation.

As Protestantism is a very divided branch of Christianity, there are many different views. The United Church of Christ and Unitarian Universalism(Two heresies in the name itself. How subtil.) accept it completely, while the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church USA support oppose only late-term or partial birth abortion.[http://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/643614], while the Mormons and Episcopals have rape or incest clauses [http://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/]  However, most evangelical Protestants and baptists cling to the commandment, "Thou shall not kill" and have very strict guidelines on the practice.
