I don't understand your logic. And with that statement you said that I highlighted you've proven my point. Man has invented and done a lot of things that aren't necesarily good. He often uses twisted logic to justify actions that can be clearly perceived as wrong. If I went and killed your family in the name of the Lord, would it be right? Or would I just be a twisted person justifying my actions using the Lord's name in vain?
Can we see the future? No. How can you tell those kids can't have a nicer future? How do you know there's no hope for them? How do you know there won't be an artist, a pastor, a teacher, a hero among them?
If we use the logic of "we should kill anything that might suffer" then I guess we should also be killing all addicts, people with cancer, etc.
I respect your view of "pro choice". Abortion is a topic in which there will always be 2 sides but instead of judging whoever choses to have an abortion, I'd rather let the Lord judge that with His perfect judgement. I'm sure He'll judge each case separately instead of making one single general judgement since He's fair. But as I do with all the things in life, I'd rather stay on the safe side and not swim in the deep side of the pool.

Please re-read that.Me and her don't have much of a relationship because of it but of course she don't know that. Redeeming-Love

Redeeming-Love, I don't know if someone has been sending you hate mail on here, but I think it was very clear what your position was in your earlier post. And in no way did I see anything that stated you were for abortion, but rather one reason why you are against abortion.

It's wasn't my logic, it was part of a conversation I once had with a teacher of mine while i was writing an essay on the topic. I don't think we should kill everyone that suffers the point that was being made is that those children were not wanted and because of that they suffered, a lot. The point that was being made was that if those people were not going to look after them perhaps they should not have had them. On the flip side I think if they weren't wanted then they should have been more careful in the first place. Or had the morning after pill.
Thank you for accepting my opinoin, I would like to share part of the reason why I feel the way I do....
I have a cousin, she has a blood disorder, she didn't know about it and one or her babies lost his life during labour because of it, she nearly died. Her next baby and her also nearly died during labour. Eventually they found out what was wrong (they didn't know she had the disorder it isn't part of routine checks and her symptoms are rare), when she fell pregnant again she kept the baby and they treated the symptoms, luckily he arrived on time and healthy however the pregnancy was still high risk. She is now a single parent and if she fell pregnant again then she would have an abortion. She has two boys to look after, she is the only parent they have and for that reason she will not have another high risk pregnancy that could kill her. Those boys need their mammy.

In my opinion, when there's another life at risk that's the only time when abortion could be discussed. I'm not saying it's right, I'm only saying it can be thought of. And even so, I don't know how the Lord would see it. As I said, I like to be in the safe side of things, specially if it involves decisions that you don't know how will be judged by the Lord.
But just because there might be a little situation, as the one you posted, that could put abortion in discussion, doesn't mean that it makes abortion as a whole alright. It's almost as saying that just because killing in self defense is alright, then every type of murder is alright as well.
I sometimes wish the Lord's arrival would be soon. Human kind has become so twisted that it discusses the life or death of their own specie. While other species of animals struggle to survive and have succesful births, we're here being irresponsible and trying to justify something that goes against God's nature.

The subject of abortion is not about what anyone feels or even thinks. It is also not about what a woman does with her own body or uterus.
Most out of wedlock pregnancy are the result of the sin of fornication. A miniscule few might be from rape &/or incest.
Once a life has been conceived it is no longer about her... An innocent life (pre- or post- birth) snuffed out is simply murder.
It is a heinous crime against humanity to destroy a life in what should have been its safest haven.

Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations"
Psalm 139:13-14: "For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well"
God didn't invent abortion; man did. It's wicked ways of the flesh and not of God.
Since we're on this conversation, what is the opinion of birth control?
