Since there really is no point where we can be sure a soul begins, abortion is not a simple issue. I chose to risk death rather than abort, but after being an agnostic I had found faith. During my fifth C section from a pregnancy that happened even though we were using birth control, I began to hemorrhage, and chaos was going on with shouting and someone knocking over the glass IV which broke leaving me hearing feet crunching on it and feeling life going out of me. My faith was new and strong enough to accept dying and to trust God to give my children a good mother. But without that faith, I could not have done that. Christians cannot make decisions for women who are still children themselves, who have other children that need them, or are risking death without that faith. Many miscarriages happen through no fault of anyone. No loving God is going to keep those souls separate from their mother in heaven. That is a stupid belief made up by men who have never had a wife or children, never the less carried them in their body. Today’s attitude toward sex is as a toy for pleasure , rather than a help in bonding with another person enough to grow in love for them until you can love them more than yourself. In today’s world casual sex is in movies, books, magazines, music, advertising all around us. The freedom teens have now makes it incredibly difficult to wait for the one you are willing to live with all your life. Our whole culture shouts “pleasure is what life is about.” Christians should be loving others enough to make them want the faith and love we have. We should be helping those unwed mothers and their child survive in a culture that promises happiness through pleasure, but doesn’t support those who are paying a price for that. Our love should help them find Jesus.
