Abortion
We sincerely recommend against abortion except where conscience and circumstance leave no acceptable alternative, (see On Options and Obligations in The Witness of Matthew). We lament when this occurs, but we do not regard abortion as the unforgivable sin described in the Gospels, which specifically concerns attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to evil or demonic forces.
Procreation
We believe procreation is honorable but not obligatory. Different callings exist, and no human should be compelled into parenthood against conscience, circumstance, or vocation (see On Options and Obligations in The Witness of Matthew).
