Found what seems a good Canadian Mennonite link on the subject of abortion here , they make their positions clear without harshness and emphasis on responsibility ,understanding, tolerance and forgiveness
mhsc.ca

The majority of us believes that most abortions cannot be justified on moral grounds, although we are unwilling to say that abortion is never justified. We do not agree what circumstances justify abortion: most believe that an abortion is justified where the mother's life is at stake; many support an abortion if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, or if there is a high probability of severe genetic disease; some support abortion for a variety of personal and social reasons. Some of us, however, believe that abortion is never justified.

Therefore, we urge that Christians engage in this discerning process rather than making isolated individual decisions, recognizing that such a process will often involve only a small group within a congregation. We believe that a harsh legalistic position that is put forth by the group without loving concern for the individual is often hurtful to persons facing abortion decisions. At the same time we believe the church must have standards that it upholds for its members.
