Psalm 139:16
...your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
It shocks me how we twist things that seem so obvious.
It especially shocks me coming from 'Christians'.
I use that word loosely because these days it is hard to tell the difference.
But that is a post for another day.
Today, this is about abortion.
Would you stand for it...if it's been over a month since you last saw red, yet it was 'just that one time'?
Would you stand for it...if you were raped?
Would you stand for it...if you were told there was a high probability your unborn child would have some defect or the other? Probability being the operative word...
Oh Father, please let me never be found wanting. Let me, like Job, praise your name, come rain or Sunshine.
I have always said that I would never support abortion.
Psalm 139:16 invalidates all the arguments of pro-choice'ers'. If the God who made heaven and Earth knows my life, even before I am born, who are you, oh human, to cut it short?
For the critics amongst you who say there is no God, let's look at this from a human point of view. Leave the creator out of this (pardon me Baba, just a second).
I would think there were enough stories on depression AFTER having the abortion. Try talking to someone who has gone through that ordeal. What makes you think you are different and immune to the feelings of guilt?
Or you are a strong believer of experience is the best teacher?
But there are so many other options. There are so many people, single and married who want a child of their own, and there are services to link you up with them? Why not give them a chance?
There are orphanages, who will actually take care of the child?
Your mother may be willing to take care of the child...if she stones you, don't blame me. I said 'may'
Why take the 'safer' route and kill? No point sugar-coating it, for that is what it is. Snuff, extinguish, all-join.
I believe that we should not do things for which we cannot face the consequences. If you wouldn't like the outcome, steer far, far away.
For how you make your bed, so shall you lie in it.
Maybe there are 2 sides to this coin? When do you think abortion is 'okay'? Is it at all okay? Or is it one of those 'under NO circumstances' issues? Feel free to give your reason, because I do not understand.
xxx's and Jesus loves you + your unborn child!
