Many Christian sects argue that abortion violates their religious beliefs, which includes the sanctity of life, and consider it to be a sin. In addition, many conservative Christians take a socially conservative view on the issue and feel that prohibiting or restricting abortion serves the greater good. They believe that without legal regulation or restriction of abortion, it would lead to a culture of death whereby women could obtain them easily and irresponsibly. As a result, they strive for laws protecting an embryo or fetus' right to life as well as education campaigns to promote adoption instead of abortions. Finally, some believe abortion can be used as form genetic discrimination against certain populations in certain countries due to socio-economic factors. This view is becoming more vocal with the advent of emerging screening technologies such prenatal genetic testing that makes termination easier for couples who have children afflicted with serious conditions like Down syndrome.

Christians often oppose abortion because they view it as the taking of an innocent life. Many Christians believe that life begins at conception, so abortion goes against their beliefs about when human life begins. Other Christian groups also oppose abortion because they see it as a violation of the sanctity of human life. In addition, many Christians believe that having control over when and how to bring about childbirth is part of marriage and God's plan for procreation. Therefore, Christians often want to ban abortion as an expression of their desire to protect all lives in our society.
