From the London Times. Apparently Rowan is pro-life.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a strong message in support of children, giving a further indication of his traditional, Catholic stance on "life" issues. He warns that in the present credit crisis, it is children who are among those likely to suffer most.
Dr Rowan Williams, in his Christmas message to the 75-million strong Anglican Communion, makes it clear that he considers the unborn child from the moment of conception to be a full member of the human family. And he speaks out strongly against the abuse of children forced into being child soldiers, and of those who suffer unacceptable cruelty at the hands of those close to them, such as Baby P.
Dr Williams, drawing on the Christian tradition that God was born as a baby in Jesus Christ at Bethlehem on Christmas Day, says the concept of divinity manifesting itself as a defenceless baby is both "shocking" and "deeply challenging." He also reiterates the Christian stance against assisted dying by emphasising the value of human life even when disability or deprivation leaves a person with hardly any signs of "freedom or thought".
