Is the Baha'i Faith pro-Choice or pro-Life?

?Abortion for convenience, or for the sake of preserving a particular lifestyle, is thus ruled out.?
So from what Ryan H has written, I guess it is pro-life.
Thanks guys.

Probably varies person to person, just like every other religion.

Based on the research I've done, they don't officially oppose abortion like some other faiths do (e.g. Catholicism).

You can make that decision without religion and even if your religion has a position on the issue, you have the right to think differently or maybe that religion isn't for you.

I am a Baha'i. The Baha'i Faith is neither; it explicitly avoids political issues. It will not take a position on whether abortion should be legal or not, nor whether there should be politically-motivated conditions placed upon it.

That being said, The Baha'i Faith asserts very clearly that life begins at the moment of conception. Abortion is considered impermissible except in extreme circumstances, yet those circumstances are left to the decision and conscience of the individual. What follows is a good quote about the subject:

"Acceptance of contraception within marriage is a more liberal attitude than the official Roman Catholic position, but on abortion there is a closer resemblance and for a similar reason. A letter in 1976, from the Universal House of Justice [the supreme governing body of the Baha'i Faith], pointed out that in Baha'i belief 'the soul appears at conception, and that therefore it would be improper to use a method [of contraception], the effect of which would be to produce an abortion after conception has taken place'. Yet even in such cases Baha'is should be guided both by their own consciences and the best professional advice available. Factors such as purpose and reversibility should be taken into account when making decisions on contraception. Abortion, however, is not considered permissible except in exceptional circumstances. Abortion for convenience, or for the sake of preserving a particular lifestyle, is thus ruled Out. Teachings insist on the sacredness of life, and the purposes for which marriage was ordained. This is linked to a general respect for science, and a couple that finds itself faced with conditions that would threaten the life of the mother-to-be should seek guidance from the most competent doctor available."

ETA: Sara, I wish to gently emphasize again that the Baha'i Faith is not pro-life, as that is a political and/or legal position. The Baha'i Faith does not endorse political positions of any kind and will not exercise an opinion on the legality of abortion, nor does it instruct its adherents to vote or advocate in a pro-life or pro-choice manner. That is left to the individuals conscience. The Faith also prescribes no Prue-set punishment or institutional judgment, as far as I know, for women who choose to have abortions for whatever reasons. I know the distinction is subtle, but it is firm. I hope what I'm trying to convey makes sense.
