Oh man. That’s a sad story. I am so sorry for all your losses.
Thank you for you kind thoughts. You have probably heard the saying, “A baby changes everything”, well so does an abortion.
If only more people would see it that way.
Must those of her former mindset, and their allies, kill America, too, before learning the truth?
>> Is abortion the killing of a human being?
Of course it is.
A woman should not define her liberty by having the right to kill.
I have a good friend who had an abortion in college, she was consumed with guilt. Her boyfriend insisted on the abortion and wanted no part of a child, she was estranged from her family and followed his wishes and immediately regretted it.
The same doctor in the original story healed her as well. When she told me I asked her if she had prayed for forgiveness and repented and she said she had. Then I said the only person beating you up is you and reminded her what God said about forgiven sin, it is gone and forgotten. She finally after many years stopped beating herself up and is fiercely pro-life.
“Telling a woman that abortion is the “empowering” response to a crisis pregnancy is really telling her that she is not strong enough to handle motherhood.”
It’s also telling her that you, yourself, can’t be bothered to lift a finger to help her.
And I’ve known women who were told this by their own mothers and their own husbands.
As horrific as these killings are,
God is always on the throne and
some of these parents find grace:
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
- Romans Ch. 11
She did a great evil and hopefully will work for good
(yes, men too) who are suffering an abortion
The little mentioned reality that fathers can also be devastated by abortion. What a heinous curse on our society. I've known three women who have had abortions (one of them had two). One of these women is and always will be a committed liberal who is now married with two grown boys. The other two are desperate alcoholics. One had an affair but is still married, the other was divorced by her husband after several years. He is a gentle good man who just couldn't take her drinking any more.
I won't be convinced that their abortions did not contribute to their alcoholism.
