How would you respond in these situations?

Question

1. A preacher and his wife are very, very poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she’s pregnant with the 15th. They’re living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?

2. The father is always sick, the mother has TB. Of their four children, the first is blind, the second has died, the third is deaf, the fourth has TB. She finds she’s pregnant again. Given this extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?

3. A white man raped a 13-year-old black girl and she’s now pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?

4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She’s not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby, and he’s very upset. Would you recommend abortion?

Did you say YES to any of these ? If you did ~ In the first case, you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists in the 19th century. In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven. In the third case, you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer. If you said yes to the fourth case, you would have declared the murder of Jesus Christ!
God is the author of life, and He has givenevery single individual supreme value. Each life—whether inside or outside the womb—should therefore be valued by us. God knows the plans He has for each individual and has written in His book all the days ordained for us before one of them came to be. When we presume to know better than God who should be given life, we are putting ourselves in the place of God and are guilty of idolatry.

Answer 1

I would not recommend abortion for any of these cases. Currently, women have the right to choose, but I would not wish the trauma and guilt of abortion for any reason on anyone. God has His purpose for each life created.

Although I disagree with abortion and it makes me very sad, I do not hate the women who have made that choice. I am not even angry with them. I wish that they had made a different choice, but I do not envy them the guilt that they will feel for the rest of their lives, no matter what the circumstances of the conception of the child. I hope that we can love these women in spite of their choices. We who have our hopes in Jesus Christ alone through faith have been forgiven much, and we have been forgiven more than we deserved no matter what we have done. We were all worthy of death until we surrendered our lives and nothing will ever make us worthy except Jesus.

I applaud you for putting this out there- thank you and God bless you and keep you.

Answer 2

you've basically "channeled" the SF television series Stargate SG-a million: Stargate SG-a million follows the present-day adventures of SG-a million, a armed forces crew from Earth that, alongside with 2 dozen different SG communities, ventures to distant planets by an alien gadget time-honored as a Stargate it is housed in a real-secret U.S. armed forces base time-honored because the Stargate Command (SGC) below Cheyenne Mountain. The project of the SG communities is to detect the galaxy and search for for technologies and alliances with pleasant more suitable races for conceal from the Goa'uld, a parasitic alien race which began taking people as unwilling hosts 1000's of years in the past and transported them to different liveable planets by the galaxy. The series expands upon the Egyptian mythologies presented contained in the Stargate movie, the Norse, Greeks and Romans, yet as well has contained one-episode thoughts. The Goa'uld function the well-known antagonists in the course of the first 8 seasons. The Replicators, self-replicating mechanical insects, are presented as a undemanding villain race contained in the third season. The Ori, who like the Ancients are Ascended Beings with wonderful powers, are presented in season 9 and pose a departure from the well-known concentration on Egyptian mythology into an exploration of the Arthurian mythology. Many properly-time-honored mythical places which incorporates Avalon, Camelot and Atlantis are cutting-edge in later seasons. ----------------- it may well be exciting, were it authentic, besides the undeniable fact that it would want to also be an outstanding risk to humanity, and we've were given sufficient of those the following at homestead, thanks. So, i'm satisfied that that's largely technology fiction.

Answer 3

I say yes to 3 and, possibly, 4. but only if I'm the mother of one of the teenage girls, or her obstetrician. The others? None of my business. And telling us how we should think about these highly personal decisions is none of your business, nor anybody else's. We, each one of us, live our lives and must make very hard, heart breaking choices. No one in the universe can know our pain, our problems like we can. And no one can own another's body. You can believe as you proclaim, that's fine. I believe you CAN KNOW, for yourself, but you CANNOT KNOW for others. Would have, could have, should have. Your arguments here fall flat. No one from outside can know the reasons Beethoven or Ethel Waters mothers made their decisions. Nor should we dare presume to know.

Answer 4

I would have left the decision up to them where it belongs. What if we could have aborted hitler I know about 6 million jews who would have liked that. Why can't you get it through your head that alot of people don't believe in your god so the decision should be left up to the indivudual not you or your god. I know a god who believes that you should be taken up to the stone alter and have your still beating heart ripped from your chest should we follow those believes. No we shouldn't and nobody else should be allowed to inflict there beliefs on to others God gave us free will or so your bible says.

Answer 5

Who are you to judge what someone else does? Live your life the way you want and allow others to do the same!! I understand all life is precious but how about the girl that was kidnapped and raped. Now she is pregnant and doesn't want the child. Would you force that child to live a life filled with hatred??! I'm ALL for adoption but I will NOT judge someone if they have an abortion

All this God believers - and most of you are SO QUICK to judge - when God said not to!!!
BTW: God doesn't exist

Answer 6

Well then, don't stop at Adolf Hitler and all the rest of the bad people now. How convenient is it to take all the credit of the good stuffs on earth and not a shred of the bad ones?

It is just typical of human to up hold biased opinion as virtues.

Answer 7

What if a woman is a hemophiliac? Giving birth would kill her because she would never stop bleeding. Abortion in the first trimester would not harm her. Can you force a woman to give up her life for her child's?

Answer 8

Woman is abandoned by husband and has an affair with a married man. When she tells him she is pregnant, he told her to get rid of the baby. However, she wants to have the baby.

If you said YES, you have allowed David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam killer, to live.

This game is unfair, as you can see.

Answer 9

I don't know anyone who recommends abortion but I will fight for a womens right to choose in each and every one of those situations.

Answer 10

"I knew you before you were in your mother's womb, " God has had a plan for each and everyone of the people that you have listed there, and everyone else too. What right to step in and take that life away, no matter how "untimely or inconvenient". Life is a precious gift.

be blessed with the peace of Jesus
