Put in my 2 cents. I couldn't take being over in that forum for long. It made me sick.

I voted: pro-life with exceptions.

Wow. I am almost speechless. This subject hurts me so much as my mother was forced to have an abortion as a teen for a mistaken pregnancy long before she was saved. I know the physical and mental damage it did to her and it hurts me as well. Because of the medical issues caused by the abortion, I nearly died at birth and lived my life as an only child.

Don't get me wrong, God has blessed me richly and I have seen both parents saved. But this issues still makes me weary.

I'm so sorry...((hugs)) that is really traumatic both emotionally and physically...and I understand the grief.

I think often times in these conversations we fail to mention...not necessarily fail to consider...that there is forgiveness and sympathy for those women who feel they have no choice in aborting their babies....

...and for those women such as your mother...the grief is so magnified by being forced into such a heart breaking decision.

Praise God for His grace and tender mercies toward you and your parents.

I cant approach that subject. I am afraid I'll get sick or weepy. I'm sorry I cannot be of any help.

Thanks for the kind words. As tough as it has been, I know the loss has helped my mother in many ways... particularly since becoming a grandmother. Praise God for his grace.

I just wish this was a topic that people had a deeper understanding of. My wife is a Mother/Baby nurse and she has told me so many stories. Many people have no clue about just when conception begins. I guess if we keep telling ourselves that it doesn't happen immediately... maybe it doesn't.

Relativism is a killer. Praise Jesus that he is knocks this relativism to the curb.

There's one argument that I loathe hearing, and that's the whole "abortion is actually much safer than delivery".

What a load of crud. If that were truly the case, there'd be far more women who couldn't have children again because they delivered...whereas there are plenty of women (I know many myself) who cannot conceive now because of an earlier abortion.

And hey, if we really wanted to boil that argument down to its simplest terms, we should just kill everyone because life would be safer that way.

Abortion is a strong subject for me as well, since I'm adopted. While my birth mother was going back and forth around whether she wanted to keep me or not, the idea of an abortion was mentioned to her. Fortunately, that was never an option for her. If I ever do meet her, I plan on giving her a big hug and saying THANK YOU to her.

 

[AlabamaStreetPreacher]

Yeah, I left out part of my story. I've also been strong on the issue, not only because of myself, but also my wife. Her birth father, whom she has never met, wanted her mother to abort her. It only adds to my strong feelings.

Its really hard to find people who are actually grateful to their birth mothers for being given up for adoption.

I'm glad you are not angry or resentful to her.

 

[Sketcher]

Voted pro-life with exceptions. An ectopic pregnancy would be the exception.

I owe a big part of that to my upraising. My parents never lied to me, and I always knew I was adopted. So there was never that Lifetime Movie bombshell moment when they dropped the news to me, thankfully. My mom always told me that I was special because God picked me out for her.

[TimMorgan]

I believe it's good to hear both sides of the story. So why exactly is it so wrong to have an abortion?

 

[Sketcher]

The unborn child is an innocent person with as much right to life as the mother has.

 

[TimMorgan]

But the child isn't born yet it's not really alive is it? Not trying to sound cruel or anything.
