Abortion thoughts worrying me

[46AND2]

So, ignore my faith icon for now...I used to be a Christian. The way I thought of it was similarly to suicide. God doesn't want you taking life on your terms right? You are supposed to trust that god will guide you through the pain of depression, or whatever affliction you are going through. So it is with abortion. YOU (general you who is contemplating abortion, not you personally) aren't saving a baby who would otherwise be doomed to hell, you are doubting god's ability to see that his will be done.

Besides, how do you know that baby wouldn't go on to become one of the most influential pastors. Then, you would not only be not saving the baby, you'd be condemning however many people that baby would have led to Christ in the future.

People hated and murdered Jesus, but God used that horrible action for His good.

But the people who hated were missing out on love.

So, if someone does what is wrong, the person is in trouble, even if God uses the wrong action for God's good purposes.

Guys, I just wanna be clear again, I'm not contemplating getting an abortion. It was just a random thought that came to my head, that's it. I would never actually get an abortion, the thoughts just worried me.

I keep getting thoughts that abortion is okay because it sends babies to heaven before they have the choice to deny Jesus. I know this doesn't justify abortion, but I can't get the thought out of my head and I'm worried I believe it. Trying to counter the thought doesn't help. For example, I'll say "That's a sin and God will punish you for it, so why would you want to do that?" But then my mind would go "It's worth it to save the baby, even if I get punished." So I can't really fight the thought without my mind continuing to justify this. I don't know how to convince myself this is wrong. I don't know.

Over half of all fertilized eggs (babies) never implant on the wall of the uterus.
So God doesn't need our help to consider the plight of babies and take our choice of actions for His sake. He will be seeing millions of souls without our input.

I'm trying hard to understand why this even matters and falling short. Yes, there's something wrong with you, that something is OCD. Although I think there might also be a need for a deep revelation about how much God loves you in there too.
