I am thankful for never having done anything where an abortion was the result or a child living in dire circumstances in their youth.
I don’t know if he’s Catholic, but he should go to confession.
If he repents and has faith in Christ... he is forgiven...
Although forgiven, we still may find our sinful decisions as weights upon us... it is our human condition that does not let us find full freedom and peace in His grace... even though it is available...
The guilt I feel for many of the things I have done leads me to know I am a different person now than what I was than... for the Holy Spirit is within me...
I know I am His, I know I am forgiven... but I will likely never fully let go of the shame of the things that I have done...
Thankfully, I have a Savior who has seen fit to take on the judgement and persecution for such for me... for that I will be forever grateful...
TY Jesus...
for some, though the Lord has forgiven them, they cannot forgive themselves
Rhetorical question: Why?
K, pttt.
Thirty four years ago after having three beautiful daughters my wife told me she was pregnant. She was beginning the process to have her tubes tied and a pregnancy test is done prior to the surgery. She was so surprised but told me that she was going to have an abortion. She felt that three children were enough. I was trying to be supportive and told her it was her choice even though I didn’t fully agree. Times were hard and it seemed like the a rational decision.
I kept my true feelings to myself for a week before I finally confessed that I didn’t agree with her decision. I told her that God had decided to finally give us a son.
At that time she admitted that she really didn’t want to abort the baby.
Nine months later my son was born and I had a vasectomy. I thank God for the gift of my children every day.
One of my friend’s life was damaged when his girlfriend got an abortion he did not want her to have.
Choice:
Abstinence
Prophylactic measures
IUD
Spermicides
Pills
Shots
Sterization
If you do not choose to use measures to prevent pregnancy and become pregnant; at that point it becomes a responsibility.
