An example of what is wrong with this world.

Regardless what your stance on this is, whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, I think ALL of us can agree that this woman is a complete joke.

What kind of sick mind would turn something which is a very difficult and life changing decision for a woman into some kind of party?!

The ones that are pro-choice seem to forget that God was against fornication.

Why would a loving God be against responsible sex between consenting parties? Doesn't compute.

The ones that are pro-choice seem to forget that God was against fornication.

Mostly against judging the sins of other people though.

Matthew 7:12
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Luke 6:37
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

James 4:11-12
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

It actually shows she is hurting and trying to find release for her pain.
That kind of woman is one who has feelings and is trying to work
through them. Celebrating is how people grow.

no conscience

I think like the OP said, regardless of how you feel about pro-life/pro-choice, abortion is nothing to celebrate.

not justifying it at all. but I just think the person in the video is doing that in a way of coping with her decision.

Maybe responsible sex isn't the best way to express love regardless of consent.
And, let's be honest. It becomes irresponsible pretty quick. It's *pretty clear* what it was designed to do; we're just using it wrong.

Funny, I thought Repentance was how people grew.
Maybe that's what's wrong with the world?

Everybody copes with grief differently. Hopefully she will come to terms with her loss.

Why be surprised, have people (christians) put some kind of limits on the evils satan can inspire.

Repentance is the result of making changes to ones own life. A process of changing priorities. And celebration is one tool to use to reinforce change. Not many sermons use a John-the-Baptist method of shouting "Repent!" That was just a special occasion. Do we have any evidence that it has ever been valid?

It is the best method. The sin is infidelity. And it's a mental challenge.

Or maybe .01% joke? It's a shame to score her entire existence on your judgment of one action.

Uh...

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

I think he was actually referring to Himself, as He often did. It's a bit more effective to be within ear shot of God when He says things like that.

See, much of scripture is about events that happened, as they happened.
Many of these stories are not about how you should act, but are what others did at the time.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I'm of the opinion that celebration which follows repentance is perfectly valid.
You can even celebrate that repentance was an option to begin with if you want
The same way that an army revolting against a King might celebrate if an offer of amnesty is put forward to them rather than an air strike if they choose to lay down their arms and re-pledge allegiance...

Note, they still have to accept the offer of amnesty and it's terms. Some of them will some of them won't. Some of them might get shot for accepting it by their own commanders. None of them will get shot for accepting it by the one who offers it. They'll be welcomed back.

But if you put celebration in front of repentance, all you are doing is celebrating unrepentance.
... I really don't feel that will end well in the Christian context, which, to my mind, is an offer of amnesty (more than amnesty, sonship even) to a bunch of rebels and more than they (or I) deserve.

That doesn't refer to any of the text you quoted.

Celebration is a tool used to honor changes in direction.
