Every person owns his/her body - the church does not, the government does not, own that body. He/she can do what he/she wants with his/her body. If the person wants to cut off his/her right toe, he/she can. If a man wants to have surgery so he will not produce children, he can. If a woman wants to abort a pregnancy, she can. Others may think a man should not stop himself from having children, but those people do not own this man's body. Others may think a woman should not have an abortion, but those people do not own this woman's body.
Church denominations make their own rules. Baptist rules may be different than Methodists rules, Catholic rules may be different than Church-of-Christ rules. So, all denominations make their own rules. A Christian does not have to join any church to be a Christian. Catholics/other denominations are going to be surprised in heaven when there are other denominations there along with those Christians who belong to no church.

Multi-tens of thousands of years past, the Wise asked themselves 'What formed the bedrock
of their culture/society?'. Their answer; The Family Unit of Father, Mother and Children!
Their next question was: 'What are the Rules of Behavior necessary to sustain the Family Unit, encouraging it to survive/thrive?'. As a consequence Abortion, Homosexuality, Transgenderism,
among severely neurotic behaviors (which existed) were discouraged, forbidden and punished.
These Rules of Behavior were defined by the Natural Law which had
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO W/RELIGION OR ECONOMICS OR POLITICS!!!
Underlining these Rules was the understanding that while Rights existed, they were interlocked w/Responsibilities and this understanding governed Mankind for ageless millennia!
The break came from the French Enlightenment, the promoter of the nostrum that
LIBERTE'/Freedom w/o restraint, was the catalyst for the betterment of Mankind's condition.
Man has been paying for that fateful (if not fatal) transformation, as the history of the past
300 years affirms!!!
