  • According to http://www.fnsa.org/fall98/macnair.html , Quakers are somewhat split on the issue: "The Testimony on Equality and traditional association with the women's movement suggests that Friends would be especially receptive to prolife feminism. The Testimony on Peace suggests Friends would be especially receptive to the consistent life ethic. The conflict-resolution procedures suggest that Friends would be receptive to common-ground initiatives."
  • It should. The early church opposed war, abortion, euthanasia and capital punishment. Quakers tend to support the pacifism characteristic of the early church so consistent Quakers do oppose abortion.
  • In my experience, if you've met one Quaker, you've met one Quaker. They are so diverse in their beliefs that the only real way to find out is to ask.
