The Orthodox Church in Russia has declared that abortion is tantamount to murder, firmly rejecting any form of promotion or support for the termination of pregnancy. The announcement comes as a clear and stern stance against what the Church deems as an unacceptable propagation of the termination of unborn life.
In a press release issued by the Orthodox Church, the clergy expressed their unwavering commitment to the sanctity of human life, asserting that abortion goes against the fundamental principles of morality and religious teachings.
The statement emphasized the Church’s stance on the value of every human being from the moment of conception, arguing that the deliberate termination of a pregnancy is a grave violation of the sanctity of life.
