Thank you, LaBèlla, for taking the time to share about my comments, and for sharing such personal things about yourself.
God does desire cheerful helping.

You're welcome. Thank you for receiving them in the spirit they were intended. My stepmother suffered a great deal when her parents died and had to leave the place she was staying. She's been on her own since 14. I understood her intentions.

And I have been hearing about how many children in foster care are being abused. Ones can use them to get money.

I'm sad to say that happens more than we know. Sometimes foster care is supplemental income for questionable people. When my aunt passed away a few years ago they honored her in the newspaper. She had more than 200 children come through their home. That's in addition to their biological children. There were a couple they raised from infancy. That was her ministry.

So, laws alone can't make people love.

Abortion, I would say, is a product of the overall character of people of this world, including of "the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience" (in Ephesians 2:2).

There is the evil spirit of selfishness which effects people's nature. You can't talk a selfish person into becoming a caring person. Only God can change us to be truly loving.

So, what does this mean, really, that is needed?

No, they cannot and we can't gauge their sincerity. Only God knows for sure. I don't have the answers. But I know our children are under attack. I felt that strongly during recent events with the young man.

In respect to abortion, you can pray against these spirits: Murder, Bloodlust, Death and Terminus. They are largely responsible for its rise.

If you're ministering to those who've had an abortion or working with clients that are contemplating it, pray against the spirits of Strife and Accusation for yourself and the spirits of Grief, Heaviness and Depression, and Rejection on their behalf.

As for selfishness, it's common to associate it with pride (for obvious reasons) but the ruler may be Rejection or a Root of Bitterness.

I have given you the rulers. They are the strongman the bible speaks of.

An abortion is a horrible mistake, yet we all are capable of horrible mistakes and all have reasons to regret something. If a woman has an abortion and regrets it and wants reconciliation and forgiveness, it is available and she should be encouraged. If she glories in her evil or minimalizes it and teaches others to do the same, she is on the fast track to hell and it will be a blessing when she gets there.

The biggest cause of death in the world is abortion. More die from abortion annually than from cancer or aids. The most dangerous place to be, in the womb. Surely the coming of our Lord cannot be long delayed. Amen. Come Lord Jesus. Time to speak the truth with love and save the Last minute souls. :amen:

Rape is not God's will yet every child is a gift from God.

Amen! The little one God produces from an instance of rape should be seen as a divine gift to the mother, a beautiful, precious blessing God has brought from a terribly painful and evil circumstance. But, today, children are, by many, no longer regarded as precious gifts from God but onerous financial burdens, impingements upon freedom, lumps of inconvenient tissue to be torn apart and disposed of. How dark, and selfish, and wicked North America societies have become as they move farther and farther from their Judeo-Christian roots.

A lot of abortions occur after contraception went wrong.

Perhaps, but it's still a limiting factor.

Abortion will never stop whether it's made illegal or not(it won't be). It'll just happen in shady places where the mother is at risk too.

There are a lot of stuff that happens even though they are illegal, should we allow them?

How so? People know that pregnancy is a result of sex. How is telling them that going to lower the amount of abortions?
Wow. Sex Ed is how people learn about birth control. And in states where sex Ed has been suppressed we have higher teen pregnancy rates and higher abortion rates. I was one of those teens, nobody taught me about birth control options, and I got pregnant.

What an evil depraved culture we have become.

“I Had an Abortion and I’m Not Apologizing”
by Ken Ham

One billboard boldly proclaims, “I had an abortion and I’m not apologizing.” Another promotes the lie, “I had an abortion & it was just health care.” Now, true health care doesn’t involve murdering children. A third one claims, “I had an abortion and I’m not ashamed.”

One woman who participated in this campaign said, “I joined the #SayAbortion campaign because abortion is normal, abortion is health care, and I will not apologize for putting my life first.” Now that’s essentially an admission she sacrificed her child to the god of self!

Another woman wants to make the conversation about abortion “as easy as talking about a colonoscopy,” as if a doctor checking to ensure nothing is going wrong in a patient’s colon is the same as violently murdering a human life within the safety of his or her mother’s body. What depravity we see these women stooping to!

A third woman claims she knows the “joys of motherhood” because she probably would not have the kids she now has if she hadn’t had one of her children murdered. Oh, such evil we see around us!

Their billboards should state "I murdered my child and I'm not apologizing" or "I sacrificed my child to the god of self and I'm not apologizing.” As I have stated many times, abortion is nothing less than the sacrifice of unborn children to the god of self. The one woman’s statement that she put her life first clearly illustrates that. She selfishly chose to live the life she wanted at the expense of her own child’s life. This should wrench our hearts as it does the Lord’s: "The Lord hates . . . hands that shed innocent blood" (Proverbs 6:16–17).​

Think of how women used to think in the past. They would trade their lives for their children in a heartbeat. They were heroes. Now we have culture of women who boast about being cowards. Sacrificing a child for yourself?? And we have a portion of the Church who support them with their votes, and non-votes. And these people claim to be more righteous than Trump?
I had an abortion and i’m not apologizing either.

Abortion is terrible - Moloch worship but that will not be addressed until we have born again believers in the supreme court.
The protestant church is almost completely surrender to the popes and nothing good will come to the country unless the protest come back.
You need born again creatures to create a different society.

What do you think the effect of your attitude here is on your fellowship with God? The Bible says that God opens and shuts the womb. He made it possible for you to become pregnant. The little one developing within you was no "mistake." The Bible also says that children are a blessing from God. The nascent life within you God intended, not as a curse or burden, but as a gift, a blessing, from Him to you. So, you have destroyed something very precious, something God-given, and now stand defiant before God, refusing to acknowledge the wrongness of what you have done. I don't see how you'll ever enjoy rich, deep fellowship with God until your attitude about what you've done changes. Certainly, God cannot heal you of the spiritual wound of your sin until you acknowledge to Him that it is sin. God's aim in bringing you to a place of acknowledgment of your sin isn't simply to condemn you, but to put you in a place where you and He can enjoy holy, peaceful fellowship together.

Isaiah 59:2
2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

1 John 1:9-10
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.


Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Abortion is just one of the many issues politicians utilize to build their power base. So called "progressives" utilize the "Rules for Radicals" tenets as their political power getting Bible. Since the self-serving nature is easily pulled into divisive situations, a two party system like in the U.S. is fertile ground for the application of the "Rules for Radicals" tenets. Legitimization of abortion is the reward the abortion proponents get for the price of their vote and campaign contributions. Since women represent slightly over 50% of the population, appealing to that gender in all ways possible makes commonsense to any politician whose main purpose is self-serving power.

I have only one consolation. GOD is the Source of all Life. No one can destroy any life except GOD. Man can only destroy the physical form used for the purpose of ordering Life into lifestyles that have eternal value. The beginning life remains in GOD's 'hands'.

My sorrow is in the fact that someone would believe and purposely act to void anything GOD has done. Only HE can assign a beginning life to a particular physical form. Therefore, those seeing abortion as 'okay' are seriously deluded by the 'prince of this world' that lives in them. They are spiritually sick; and they cannot be cured by legitimizing their sickness as good. Such actions are likely to cost many individuals their very soul. We should feel for them as if they were one of our children that has cancer. I believe that is similar to the way Christ feels.

Obviously I don’t agree. It’s pretty presumptuoud for you to assume I can’t enjoy a “rich, deep fellowship with god.” In fact I do enjoy deep fellowship with god.

Presumptuous? No. Biblical. Inasmuch as God has a very different view of your abortion than you do, it stands to reason that you and He don't get along very well. As the prophet Isaiah said,

Isaiah 59:2-3
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.

What fellowship with God you think you enjoy with Him is, I suspect, not the fellowship described in Scripture.

Yes, there is how I need correction; I need not to get my attention only or mainly to how others might be wrong. Thank you, God bless you :)

a Root of Bitterness.
"looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled." (Hebrews 12:15)

There can be bitterness which helps to cause someone to commit abortion, and there are many other things which can be at least partly caused by bitterness.

"Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them." (Colossians 3:15)

No one is excused to get bitter. We all need to learn better how to love, instead.

You are most welcome. Satan attacks the servant and the served. I mentioned the two not because you were exhibiting them. But due to the spirits that operate under their rulership.

For instance, with this topic we often see manifestations of bickering, arguments, and fighting. This is not of God but comes when strife is present. Whereas judging and criticism come from accusation. Most would not imagine they were doing this. The others are for the betterment of the served. To help them fight against the feelings they're wrestling with.

"looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled." (Hebrews 12:15)

This is a very dangerous spirit and it is hard to get rid of. You will always find strife, condemnation, judging, complaints, unforgiveness, and rejection when it's present. It appears through continued focus on negative circumstances. Instead of casting the care the individual keeps retrieving it and creates an endless loop of reliving the offense. They bring it up over and over again.

Bitterness can arrive after a very painful event. Abuse is common. We are given a period to grieve and work through our emotions. But if we stay in them too long a negative result follows. Unforgiveness plays a big part.

"Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them." (Colossians 3:15)
No one is excused to get bitter. We all need to learn better how to love, instead.

That's why we're told in 1 Corinthians 13 that love keeps no records of wrongs. Bitterness is a consequence of that practice. :)

Bitterness can abort a person from love, not only from human life.

Another thing I have considered is I am concerned that a female could grow all the way from childhood to being an adult and not have the nurturing instinct to care for her unborn.

And ones are so making a show of refusing to let men abuse them, anymore, yet they can give in to the abuse of ones pressuring them to kill their own unborn. Why try to be acceptable to people who do not know how to love you?

Well, it can be that a woman does not know anyone she is satisfied cares about her.

Also, even if she does know truly Christian people, these people have standards which she might not accept.

Plus, there can, of course, be the ones who claim to be Christians but who are self-righteous . . . not truly caring.

And, though I might not have exhibited this, myself, thank you for saying we need to not have self-righteous stuff in us :) Because I still need to do better . . . including so God pleases to trust me to share with and help ones who have been violated by others.
