CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Abortion on Thursday!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter the truth
- Start date

Will pray.
How far along is she? There's a living being inside of her. Give her the following hypothetical situation: (in so many words) "What if your fetus was capable of thinking as at least a small child could and understood what an abortion was? What would your baby say to you, knowing that you are thinking of getting an abortion? Remember, this is your own child."
You might want to ask her (the mother) what life means to her. What would her baby miss out on if she aborted it? Ask your cousin if she would have wanted her mother (your aunt) to have had an abortion while this aunt was pregnant with your cousin. If someone had the intent to kill your cousin and she had no control over whether or not it happened, would your cousin be bothered about it? Personally, I think abortion is murder. I'd recommend perhaps making a list of all the positive and negative outcomes of getting an abortion.
How old is your cousin? Who's the father? Is he willing to take responsibility? How did she decide to get an abortion?
It's common for women to feel guilty after having an abortion, by the way.
If she doesn't have an abortion but cannot keep the baby, there are many loving couples who are aching to have a child to take care of. She can get an open adoption, where the mother and the foster parents keep a line of communication open with each other, to keep tabs on the kid's development. Life is a gift, and she is blessed in that she is able to conceive, because that is not the case for all people.

Abortion may be the quick, "easy" answer, but the price is quite high in the long run.
Abortion is also irreversible.

an adopted child of God
Je. 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [Or chose] you,
before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a
prophet to the nations."
Ps. 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
I will pray for her.

There are no positive sides to an abortion only the negative side. I pray that the Lord does open her eyes and heart to the truth, abortion IS murder. It doesn't matter if she was one month pregnant or six months pregnant, it is still the most terrible thing a mother can do to her child. I hope she considers adoption as an option. Definately go and talk to her. This is not a form of birth control and it is surely not a cure all for her pregnancy. This is something that she will deal with the rest of her life. Please come back and let us know what happens.

I will pray. remind her there are other choices. I when I had an accidental pregnancy (there are no unwanted children) I had a friend offer to pay for an abortion. I never could have gone through with it. I knew if I couldn't give my baby a home I could at least give him life. I put him up for adoption. He has a wonderful family that loves him tremendously. I have never regretted my decision! Matthew is now 7 years old and very happy.
Just please remind her if she can't keep the baby...there are those out there who will love the child with all they have!

Beware the Thought Police
I will pray for your cousin.
I was pregnant when I was 17. So many of my friends asked, "Why aren't you getting an abortion?" I couldn't even contemplate that option.
Fast forward to present..That so called, "unplanned pregnancy" is a beautiful young woman just starting her Masters Program in Psychology. She plans on going into school counseling. She has been the absolute joy of my life. If I had thought differently back then, this unique special human being would not exist. That's hard for me to fathom.
I think of abortion as a loss of hope.
There is always hope. Please tell your cousin not to throw away this hope.

Your cousin is in my prayers.
Dear Lord,
Please open April's eyes and show her
the wonderful pleasures the new life inside of
her can bring her. I pray that you spare her
the mental torment and anguish from the experience
of an abortion. Please be with her and comfort her during
this troubling time. I pray these things in the
name of your son, Jesus Christ who died and shed
his blood upon the cross for our salvation...amen
