Question
Make this paragraph read correctly: Abortion is the [blank_start]deliberate[blank_end] ending of a pregnancy. Both [blank_start]Catholic[blank_end] and fundamental Christians take an [blank_start]absolute[blank_end] stance against abortion because they believe that life begins at the moment of [blank_start]conception[blank_end]. Liberal Christians take a [blank_start]relative[blank_end] stance against abortion because the circumstances may mean that abortion would be the [blank_start]'lesser[blank_end] of 2 evils.'
Answer

Question 3

Question
Choose all the statements which would be used by Catholic Christians and fundamental Christians who take a pro-life stance (against abortion)
Answer
  • Do not kill (exodus)
  • The foetus does not have conscious awareness and therefore lacks personhood
  • In the case of rape then the woman has every right to terminate the pregnancy
  • The Prophet Jeremiah states 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.' meaning God intended for the person to exist.
  • Mother Teresa states 'it is poverty that someone should die so that you should live as you wish.'

Answer
  • A theist who believes that human beings are special because they are made 'Imago Dei'
  • A humanist who believes that humans can be preferentially biased towards our own species

Question 5

Question
Make the following paragraph make sense: The doctrine of [blank_start]double[blank_end] effect is a teaching from the Catholic Church which considers the [blank_start]intention[blank_end] of an act over an [blank_start]outcome[blank_end]. Catholics apply the doctrine of double effect to the issue of abortion. This means that in a situation where the mothers [blank_start]life[blank_end] was at threat and some medical [blank_start]intervention[blank_end] was needed to [blank_start]save[blank_end] the mothers life then even if that intervention resulted in the [blank_start]loss[blank_end] of the foetus it is still morally right to save the mother.
Answer
  • double
  • intention
  • outcome
  • life
  • intervention
  • save
  • loss

Answer
  • Being made Imago Dei means we are perfect and without sin
