I’m sorry but I just don’t believe you.. at this point you’ve had a friend with cancer that had a csection to save her 20 week old fetus who miraculously survived and now a sister who’s had 7 abortions of which three were illegal. That’s just too entirely implausible, I’m sorry.
If they are performing illegal abortions they should lose their license and be shut down, what the law says doesn’t actually matter to people who break laws so the law allowing for exceptional circumstances shouldnt bother you or anyone else since it doesn’t matter either way to those who break it. The only way this law should bother you is if you actually disagree that abortions in cases of maternal health and fatality shouldn’t be done. In which case, while I vehementally disagree with you, I respect that this is your belief.
My problem comes in with trying to force that belief on people who don’t share it. The laws and ideas surrounding pregnancy are all based squarely in religion and philosophy. If someone has a different religious or philosophical view in a country that isn’t a theocracy, forcing them to adhere to ones own is wrong.
At the end of the day if your god exists he will judge them for what they’ve done. Why isn’t that good enough? The aborted child or fetus, if it has in fact been ensouled already will find its way to heaven since it’s innocent, even the Catholics with the original sin doctrine believe this. Eternal damnation of the mother who aborted it, if your god sees fit is worse than any prison sentence she could have been given anyway.
Abortions have been around since the beginning of time. Whether they are legal or not they aren’t going to go away.
I personally don’t feel making them illegal does any actual good. I’d rather see time effort and resources directed towards ameliorating the societal conditions that cause women to get abortions in the first place.
Whether you believe it or not, it happens. Miracles, as well as the most deplorable acts of man.
I never said God would or even should damn a woman to Hell (with no hope of salvation) for eternity for having abortion(s).
I’m grateful He doesn’t, and that these women can still become saved, as my sister is living proof. I hope they all believe on Christ and He will separate them from those sins as far as the east is to the west and Hell will never have dominion over them.
People make mistakes.
But we cannot just be silent and watch it continue.
I’ve also seen the pain & horror of the aftermath of women who have had abortions and it is truly heartbreaking.
After the abortion the baby is gone, but the mother remembers. And they will carry that guilt with them forever.
My sister has given me so much insight on it and I’m thoroughly convinced that abortion harms the mother who commits it.
I asked her if there was a difference (as far as how it affected her later) between the earlier abortions she had& the later term ones.
She thought about it and closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face as she shook her head and said , “Not really. Any way you look at it, in the end, you still know you just killed your own baby.”
