This is a cruel thing to hope. When so many women write essays about how abortion empowered them, why can't you spare some sympathy for a young woman who essentially admits that she has been broken by having had an abortion? We are all sinners. We should pray for this woman, not wish that she be barren.
I agree, that is totally cruel thing to hope. King David lusted after another man’s wife and even saw to it that he was killed in battle. The Lord forgave David- and we should pray that this woman finds comfort in the Lord someday.
It's not a matter of sympathy. Before people commit murder, they have to overcome some kind of a mental hurdle. Once they overcome that hurdle, it becomes easier to murder a second, third, etc., time. It is obvious from the article that that girl didn't have much of a hurdle to overcome--in fact, she couldn't wait to commit that murder. Whatever remorse she felt afterwards, the fact is that she is still a person who is capable of committing murder, and may actually commit more murders (and beat herself up over it every time). To my mind, that isn't a person who should be allowed to become a mother to living children.
