Abortion is a difficult and very controversial topic. Most try to stay as far away from this subject as possible. Of course, I take the challenge head on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I struggled with “Pro-Life”/ “Pro-Choice” in my sprit. I am a person that usually hears two sides of any story before making a conclusion. But truthfully, this issue had my heart very heavy. It was a topic that was brought up during the Presidential Election last November. It questioned some of our faiths, beliefs and morals. There is... As we know, Roe vs. Wade Law that protects a woman choice to have an abortion. Both President Candidates (to my understanding) would change the Roe vs. Wade Law. McCain stated he would like to veto the Law altogether. He would make it illegal to have an abortion in any state in the US. McCain considers it as murder. Obama stated he would keep it Pro-Choice but with “exceptions to the rule.”
And so, the argument begins. I was overwhelmed with the questions people came to me with looking for some kind of reassurance and guidance. All questions listed were asked by everyday Christians. Most Christians would say, the answer is obvious – Abortion is murdering an innocent life. . We are to protect and conserve life. But these questions, asked by so many, made me think – and research.
The questions asked are as follows:
Does anyone have the right to make choices for the American People about their life and their body? It is my body and my life. Who are you to tell me what to do with my own body?
Is killing an innocent unborn child under any circumstances right? Wouldn’t that still be considered murder even with exceptions?
What if you only abort in the early stages of the pregnancy (2weeks or before 2 months gestation)
Is the “Morning After Pill” considered abortion?
What if the child was conceived by rape or incest?
What if the mother’s life depended on it?
Does making exceptions to the rule make abortion better/more tolerable to anti-pro life protesters?
I answered these questions as follows:
ü Christian values teach us that a child is a gift to God. It is innocent and pure. A newborn child is closer to God then we could ever imagine.
ü A seed is a Life. No one has the right to take a life. No one but God Himself.
ü Definition of Life (according to Webster dictionary published date 2007):
Life is a living being---especially a person. Anything that functions and includes the ability to take in food, adapt to the environment, grow, and reproduce.
**The key word(s) here are GROW and REPRODUCE. **
Conclusion: From the time the sperm enters into the womb, it is called l-i-f-e. It is actually a living, breathing, growing person that was reproduced.
ü This concludes the argument regarding, if aborting a child before gestation 2 should be considered a crime/murder. Yes, it should be a crime. You are actually committing murder.
ü Definition of Murder (same source):
Murder is the crime of killing another person deliberately or with any other extenuating circumstance.
**Key word(s): with ANY other extenuating circumstance.
Conclusion: UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE (even in self-defense) it would be considered murder. Even if you was raped, a victim of incest, even if your own life depended on survival, or you’re only 12 years of age and your father, brother, or stranger, raped you…. Even under these hatful, brutal crimes, it would still be considered murder.
****Another question was also asked by a husband in personal pain and spiritual agony: *****
“I know God does not condone murder nor does he condone incest and rape. If He does not condone rape and violence, why would it be ok to bring a child into this world knowing it was conceived out of hate? How do you accept a child like that into this world?”
ü Why would you think a child that was conceived from such evil, automatically confirms that the child would be evil? Is it also fair to say that all criminals, thieves, and murders come from rape victims and evil parents? Is it also fair to say, that all Ministers were conceived out of love from a Christian home? Is it fair to say, that a child born in the projects will never become a multi-millionaire?
ü Just because a child was created out of love and raised in a Christian home, does not mean the child will never go astray. As it is the same for any child conceived in any type of situation.
ü God has a plan for all of our lives. It is up to each individual to come to Him and ask Him for direction and truth.
Isaiah 44:24
Thus said the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed me from the womb, I am the Lord that makes all things that stretch from the heavens alone; that spread abroad the earth by me.
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteous of the righteousness shall be upon him and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Mark 10:13-16
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not--- for verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Of such is the Kingdom of God. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them and blessed them.
I thank God for my family and friends that challenge my Beliefs and help me grow stronger in Christ.
At any time you are not with peace, ask God to order your steps. He will always guide you in the right direction and show you the path that leads to righteousness.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
My Prayer for today:
God continue to teach me and mold me into the woman you have foreseen me to be. Please forgive me of my sins and iniquities. Continue to correct my thoughts and my heart. I pray for my family and friends to continue to walk with you, and for you to continue to guide them so we may learn from each other and grow in faith.
Amen.
