Summary/Abstract: In the context of a world more and more confused and derailed from normalcy, in times when evil is called good and often represents the embodied virtue, and good is called evil, Christianity has the duty to maintain normalcy, to keep in touch with God, to become living examples in an attempt to re-establish the axes of the contemporary world on its primordial and natural coordinates, in full harmony and cooperation with God. This topic: Abortion = Murder (reflections for conscience), was born from the desire to penetrate into the very essence of the moral issues that grind contemporary society, threatening to lead it to spiritual destruction, but also to highlight the fact that we must approach the divine model, the One who he showed the direction to follow in life: love, sacrifice, forgiveness. The relevance of this subject cannot be questioned, representing a duty for Christianity to fight the abortion phenomenon, to fight for life, to keep clean the most precious gift offered by God. Abortion - Considerations of Holy Scripture, Canon Laws, Holy Father Writings, and Contemporary Theological Writings, we will try to compress and compile the anti-abortion elements that make it such a frightening and troubling sin, from various perspectives. In this approach we will start, as is natural, from the pages of the Holy Scripture, then moving on to the canonical vision, continuing with the perspective of the Holy Fathers and reaching to the present day, with the approach of the Fathers of contemporaneity.
