Background: Years ago, 1973 to be exact, when the United States Supreme Court struck down all state laws protecting unborn children, I cried. It was hard to believe that in America, the land where we have the Right to LIFE, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, that the right to LIFE would be trampled.
At that time, I had five precious children. I SO agree that women have the right to control their own bodies. Their unborn children are NOT THEIR BODIES!! The unborn child is a separate human being!
Situation, more than 20 years later: Al was a young man very much in love with a young woman, Rhonda. They dated during their first two years of college and planned to be married during the summer between semesters. One month before the wedding, Rhonda informed Al, "I'm pregnant." Al was neither happy nor unhappy about this. However, Rhonda's mother told her, "I don't want you pregnant before your wedding. I will take you to get an abortion." This happened within several days, then Rhonda told Al.
The wedding went on as planned. Within the first year, Rhonda and Al were expecting another baby. They were both thrilled. Rhonda miscarried the baby. Her obstetrician told her, "Rhonda, you have what is called an 'incompetent cervix' as a result of the abortion. You can never carry a baby full-term."
This knowledge was disastrous to the marriage. Al grieved for his two children which he would never know. Rhonda took out her grieving against Al in meanness.
Lessons learned: Risking your child being killed is yet another reason to not chance pregnancy before marriage. So many people are careless about this! If Rhonda and Al had been married and were expecting a baby, it would be unlikely that her mother would have interfered. If a pregnant woman knows the baby's father will support her in every way, she will go through the pregnancy.
Outcome: Al and Rhonda's marriage didn't last very long before they divorced. Neither married again. Al is still grieving over the two children he lost. Rhonda is a very, very bitter middle-aged woman.
Many, many men and women all over the world are suffering because of the children they aborted. It is the real hero who finds herself pregnant and carries the baby to birth. So many couples are unable to have children but would love to adopt a baby. Don't throw away your own child! It is the real man and the real woman who don't give in to sex and risk pregnancy before marriage! Be responsible!!
FYI: My own grandmother was born the day before her parents were married, in 1898. I know this is not a perfect world. If you have participated in an abortion in any way, seek forgiveness from God so you will be at peace. And learn to forgive yourself!
Just think: if any one category of human beings is killed, whether it was the handicapped, the Jews, the priests, or anyone else the Nazis thought were unworthy of being called "human," the rest of us are in danger. Right now, euthanasia, or 'mercy-killing,' legislation is being discussed in England. Several U.S. states have 'assisted suicide' laws. If we abort our children because it is inconvenient to us, their sisters and brothers and cousins will euthanize us when we're old and inconvenient to them. This has happened for years in the Netherlands. When will we wake up???
