I suspect there was some sort of medical intervention in order for you to achieve your pregnancy status after such a long period of being infertile? If so, it is the by the grace of the doctors and advanced medical technology that you have become pregnant with your “babies I am carrying”, which is often the case with artificial insemination, hormone therapy, etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I admire your convictions, but I disagree with you when you say that there is absolutely no reason for a therapeutic abortion. Again, the emotional and physical scars will long outlast the memories of a painless abortion given under the auspices of another medical “procedure”. It is wrong for children to give birth to children.
Placing the emotions of an expectant mother aside, put one of your little girls in the same situation. Being raped by the most despicable vile animal you can envision. Then, you making the decision that she should endure the pain involved in carrying to term and giving birth to the child because it is God's will? The guilt would kill me if I thought that I had the power to allow something that could have been prevented.
It's sort of like the question I often ask myself, “why do babies get brain cancer?”, “why do innocent children suffer the worst imaginable pain for years from incurable diseases”? I cannot fathom the idea that God would allow that to happen to someone he supposedly chose to be born in the first place.
I guess you'd have had to have been there to understand why I question this.
