While it may be inappropriate for this sight, I agree with the poster that unborn children should be spoken for. Here is a food for thought:
How would you respond in these situations:
1) A preacher and his wife are very, very poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she's pregnant with the 15th. They're living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?
2) The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. Of their four children, the first is blind, the second has died, the third is deaf, the fourth has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Given this extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
3) A white man raped a 13 year old black girl and she's now pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
4) A teenage girl is pregnant. She's not married. Her fiance is not the father of the baby, and her fiance is upset. Would you recommend abortion?
In the first case you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists in the 19th century.
In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven.
In the third case, you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.
If you said yes to the fourth case, you would have declared the murder of Jesus Christ!
God is the author of life, and HE has given every single individual supreme value. Each life - whether inside or outside the womb - should therefore be valued by us. God knows the plans He has for each individual and has written in His book all the days ordained for us before one of them came to be.
When we presume to know better than God who should be given life, we are putting ourselve in the place of God and are guilty of idolatry (see the ten commandments).
This is what I believe and If a doctor or anyone recommended abortion to me, this is what I would tell them. If abortion continues, it alters our future. |
