Thinking about what the baby must be going through used to really bother me. I may be in denial, but I now believe that God would never put an innocent life through the pain of an abortion. While it's a sin on the souls of those having abortions, I think that God must step in at some point to spare the baby the pain of the procedure itself. I also take some measure of comfort in the fact that the murdered baby earns a "free ticket to heaven," Original Sin notwithstanding. I'm sure I'll get a few replies contending these beliefs, but it won't change them in my mind.
That said, I continue to fund pro-life groups and attend pro-life rallies; I haven't given up the fight.
I COMPLETELY agree with you.
While I will NEVER condone abortions for ANY reason (not for rape, nor incest, nor disability, nor mother's health) I will say that these children are blessed. Blessed to never have to live on this planet where NOTHING is sacred. Blessed to not have to live with parents who never wanted them and were even willing to kill them before ever meeting them face to face. Blessed to be in Heaven and not having to wait years and years and endure hardships.
These little souls are blessed, but it is not my place to "bless" my child in this manner. Plenty of babies never make it past birth alive, and those are hard enough for a mother to endure. How can these "people" kill their babies? I will never understand it. I just realize that the babies get to go right back home with their real Father, who would never hurt them or hate them.
God bless all their little souls, and may he help their would-be parents understand what they have done and change their lives to use their experiences to convince others not to make the mistakes. That's all I can do to keep sane...is to hope that some women, somewhere, are using their mistakes to teach other women.
"... I think that God must step in at some point to spare the baby the pain of the procedure itself." Sadly, I must interject that God does not 'step in' and save babies the pain inflicted by heinous abusers, so it is horribly clear to this ol' freeper that the inhumanity of the serial killing for the unborn goes through the course of horrific pain (where the nervous system is developed) then death. The evil is then upon the serial killer and those complicit with the deed(s). We ought not shy away from admitting the extent of the evil, there are eternal souls at stake for the truth.
