This woman has apparently come to a moral fork in the road and she realizes you can't take both forks----and she's terrified of either choice. She knows that taking one fork will mean she has to, in good conscience, abandon her profession; to take the other fork will mean -- that she chooses to abandon her profession and her faith even if she pretends she's still practicing it.

Its amazing what passes itself off as a "Rev." these days (Jesse Jackson comes to mind also) and what passes itself off as a "church"

I bet she has a difficult time being the husband of one wife.

When I made my choice to end one life on behalf of other life, I was terribly troubled. I was in a double bind. I prayed and anguished. Then I made a choice. Adults make choices.Suppose someone intervened in her abortion and killed her, but immediately took her body to the hospital to save her unborn baby. That murderer could claim to have "ended one life on behalf of another." What do you think our legal system woukd do to such a person?

I am a 58-year-old sexual, mature woman. That's who I am. I had an abortion. I am not bragging and I am not apologizing.
Being identified as a Christian doesn't appear to be high on her list.

When I got pregnant with the child I call "Alma," which means soul, I was not interested in a fourth child.
Ahhh...to be like God...with the power to give or take life.
She must feel very powerful.

I Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:6 - something ordained this woman a minister, but it wasn't the Word of God.

Not to brag is one thing; not to apologize is quite something else, for someone who purports to be a "Reverend."

The woman sounds like she is in desperate need of assistance from Project Rachel.

Wow. This article is so full of flaws, fallacies, false logic, I bet even the pro-murder set can't stand it.
It is beyond bizarre that we now have significant numbers of "churches" and "ministers" that are this wacked out.
To: Paloma_55
In case I was not clear, let me change a few words on her quote...
When I had my fourth child, which I called "Alma," which means soul, I was not interested in a fourth child. So I killed her in her crib.
Ahhh...to be like God...with the power to give or take life.
She must feel very powerful.

That she killed her "soul" is very appropriate here.

That's why we named her, wept for her, wanted her but also knew we did not want her enough.I guess people weren't adopting babies 19 years ago.

I bet she has a difficult time being the husband of one wife. Unfortunately, not in these sick and crazy days and times of redefining marriage and family (but I agree with you).

To: Redbob
The wife of a very close friend of mine had an abortion when she was a 19 year old college student 30 years ago.
She prays, and has EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last 20 YEARS, for God's forgiveness for making that decision.
My friend says she has told him that she has never been able to look at their two children, now grown, she later had without wondering what her aborted child would have looked and been like.
She is generally a happy, cheerful, positive person who's a joy to be around. But as my friend says anytime he looks at her and for no apparent reason she appears pensive, sad or depressed he knows exactly what she's thinking about----her baby that never got a chance at life.

So she admits to committing murder, using that exact term, but justifies it. I think there's a verse in Proverbs she really needs to take a second look at.
To: Neville72
Ok so she was not raped, it was not incest, her life was not endanger by the pregnancy. Yet abortion is still a positive moral force?
I am heartbroken that she made the choice she did. What an adult would do was chose to have the child and put her (Alma) up for adoption.
