@Grailhunter , idk you misinterpreted my words to mean that I think abortion is justifiable. That is the farthest from what I said. What I DID say is that not all who have undergone abortion did so by their own choice. I was forced...as was a young family member of mine (a cousin). And unknown many many SRA/MK survivors who were forced to undergo abortions at young ages.
Many women who "chose" to get abortions were under duress, and/or given false information about the life they were carrying. There are all sorts of reasons here for compassion. NEVEr to diminish the sanctity of the lives of the unborn ...but there is such a thing as regret and repentance ...and so many who feel they do not deserve forgiveness, but Jesus says otherwise. We ALL have been in need of the Savior. All.... ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Now, to those who go and get abortions, knowingly killing their babies and mock at it ...and those "doctors" who profit from shedding innocent blood and love doing so .....that's a different story altogether. I do hope for justice and an end to the murders. God knows and sees ....and unless they repent, they will not escape judgment for what they've done.
As far as you are concerned....I understood what you said...to the extent with no details. "Forced abortion" Still sounds evil to me. Duress, bad counsel, I am sure it happens....Satan at work either way. My criticism is mostly against the institution of abortion. I am not going to pry, forgiveness is a tenant of Faith in Christianity so that is between you and Christ. Then again, how much fault is it of a young lady that gets involved in that process, it is a matter of circumstance. In the struggle against abortions or those that support it, the mother as a victim, is mostly ignored. How many women out their cannot forgive themselves? The government will pay for abortions but who thinks of the counseling that is needed for the mothers that made the wrong choice. We do not hear much from those that are hurting because that would be a deterrent for abortion.
