>>”You misunderstood me—I am 100% *against* abortion, for ANY reason.”<<
No, I didn’t misunderstand you. I do question your statement “for ANY reason.”
>>”It is by the grace of God that this child is alive!”<<
Which child? It’s time like this when I question why a kind and loving God would ever have allowed this to happen to an innocent little child of 10 years old.
Please don’t flame me with “who am I to question”, “it’s God’s will” etc.
Having endured almost 14 years of infertility (6 before finally achieving motherhood, and now 7 years later now with this pregnancy) by the grace of God :*), I have learned that NO baby’s life is an ‘accident’, there’s just no such animal. Each and every life if precious and we should treat it as such. IMO, I cannot justify ANY reason for murdering any little innocent unborn life, although I realize most people think ‘for the mother’s health’ or ‘mother is a victim of rape or incest’ is an adequate reason to destroy that life/lives. If, God forbid, a choice had to be made between saving me and the babies I am carrying, it is a no brainer for me—save the babies!! Realistically though I know a lot of people discount the unborn as ‘not really people until they are born’ and they would sacrifice the baby/ies without a second thought ‘for the mother’s sake’.
I am so sorry for what this little 10 year old went through, both rape and being pregnant and delivering at this young age, and I also burn with rage against the animal that did this to her. Again, as far as religion and faith go, I have learned to depend on God and I trust Him no matter what happens, both good and bad. I’m not going to flame you for your unbelief in God, that’s not my place. All I know is that God’s fingerprints are all over this little girl and her baby, and who knows what wonderful things He has planned for them both in the future?
There is never any reason for abortion. Rarely a mother or the child must be seperated, when their life is in danger. When that happens though everything is done to save both.
