Will God forgive me??

Question

I have 3children but when my husband and I found out I was pregnant again shortly after I had our 3rd child he wanted me to have an abortion and I did. I have asked for forgiveness and I know what I did was wrong but will God forgive me???
I may be pregnant again and I know my husband will not want this child either, so he may want me to have another abortion. Would I be forgiven a 2nd time?? Help..!!

I do want this child just as I wanted the one before and yes my husband is very abusive towards me and he is not the best father either. My choice was to give the child to a couple I know who lost there 2nd child and could no longer have any more but he disagreed. I can't afford tubal litigation or iud. As for pills I was on them but the prescriptions have all been filled and at this time I can't afford to pay for the visit to go see the doc. again.My heart still aches for what I've done and I don't know if my heart & mind can go through it again.Me and my husband recently seperated and I'm living on my own with our children, and if I don't get the abortion again I'm afraid he may get abusive towards my lower abdomin region just so I can miscarry, he's made a comment before aboiut pushing me down the stairs.I know I should get away but it's not as easy as it sounds.Abortion is not something I want to do again so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it....

Answer 1

Don't do it again. If you believe it to be sin, then I don't think you can ask for forgiveness beforehand. I personally don't think it works that way. Tell your husband you will give the child up for adoption. If he tries to force you into another abortion, you should leave him. There is no excuse for that.

Oh, and get some birth control, for crying out loud! (and don't say you don't believe in it, you wouldn't have had the abortion if you were that serious about it.)

Answer 2

Are you a true believer?

I know according to the word of God He will forgive of all things except rejection of His son Jesus Christ. 1st you have to forgive yourself. Read: Matthews 12:31-32, Matthews 18:21, Mark 3:28-29, Mark 11:23-28.

Regarding the possible pregnancy, every child deserves to live. Jesus said in Luke, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."

Children are close to God's heart. We don't have the power to give life, why should be take there lives away? If you don't want the child give it up for adoption. An abortion is also not worth the guilt it causes.

If you and your husband don't want anymore children, either get birth control or don't have sex.

Answer 3

There are many shelters you can go to if you dont have family. I have been in an abusive relationship myslef and I know its not easy to leave but its the best for you and your children. and about not affording birth control its hard to believe there are planned parenthoods all over the place. your husband can afford a $500 abortion but not an $300 IUD? that last for 5-10 years.

Answer 4

Yes, but that is NO excuse for getting another abortion. I would push my luck. Does your husband KNOW that he is causing the murder of YOUR babies?

You have a hard decision ahead of you. I know it has happened but why do you allow yourself to get pregnant knowing what you are living with? It YOUR choice, not his. The fact reminds that he would probably have loved the aborted baby AND this one even more than he cared for the others.

He is a selfish animal. Tell him where to he can put his idea of abortion with that being where the "sun don't shine".

I think you are looking for "approval" for what he will be trying to make you do, but I think you have suffered enough over the last one. Now, it is up to you to decide whether or not you can withstand the guilt of another abortion. You have my deepest sympathy in all of this. Good luck. Pops

Answer 5

You have 4 choices:::
1. Abort the child and stay with your husband.
2. Put the child up for adoption and stay with your husband.
3. Keep the child and stay with your husband.
4. Keep the child and leave your husband.

A husband that loved his wife would never tell HIS WIFE to abort HIS own seed.
Been there, done that.

Answer 6

Of course God will forgive you, seventy times seven. I would strongly suggest that you two figure out what causes pregnancy. Your hubby could have a vasectomy, or you could have a tubal ligation. I do not judge you, you do have a right to chose, but I think that you are not being smart, because you have not taken proper precautions. Please take care of your body (and mind), and take care of your unwanted fertility after this next abortion.


God Bless You, and peace be with you, God loves you no matter
what.



Your destiny is in your hands, and no, it is not going to be easy. There are agencies that will assist you with birth control after the disposition of your current pregnancy, whatever you decide. You CAN leave your abusive husband, and it is your DUTY to the children that you are raising to put THEM first. You have to get your back up and decide, it is going to be him or you? Are you going to live in fear or survive this, get away and reclaim the remainder of your life, not to mention your children's lives. Also, if you just cannot use birth control, or procure it in any way, you most certainly can,,,Keep Your Legs Closed.

Answer 7

look, ever since the time you aborted your baby, you have been wounded yourself both mentally and spiritually, you knew deep down inside you that what you did was wrong and against the will of God,and I believe that you are truly sorry for what you did but I don`t think that you can really forgive yourself,you will forever be left wondering what your baby would have looked like and what he/she would have become. do you really want to go through this pain a second time?
listen you are the bearer of life within you and it is you who must stand up for yourself and your unborn child, asking God for forgiveness is not a blank cheque to do this thing again with impunity, and I think that you already know this to be true.
please look on your living children and the unbelievable gift that they are before deciding to take the life of your unborn child.
your husband is being very selfish with you in that he has decided for both of you and does not entitle you to your wish, this child is your flesh and blood and will one day call you Mama and love you with that pure dependant love that exists between Mother and Child, how can your Husband appreciate this special bond, you must for the sake of your innocent one be strong and courageous and God will be with you.

I will pray for you and your baby, God bless you.

Answer 8

Consider adoption.

Also, consider some method of not getting pregnant so frequently.

Some say "contraception" is wrong. Probably most methods are; but certainly abortion is worse.

And since your husband is the one who doesn't want more children, then he should take at least some of the responsibility for your NOT getting pregnant again.

Will God forgive you for something you are intending to do? Especially when there are alternatives (such as adoption)?

Answer 9

You would be better off trusting in God and not having an abortion. He will forgive you for the abortion but do not kill this second child. Tell your husband you cannot do that. God will turn his heart.

Answer 10

Although I'm not a Christian, I find this question to be terribly frightening. If you're with a man who is so controlling that he wants you to have an abortion when you're against it and worried about the moral/religious implications of your decision, that's abuse. I know it can be hard to raise your children on your own, but for your sake and theirs, you should strongly consider getting out of this relationship. Could you forgive yourself if something happened to one of your other children, when you hadn't heeded the warning signs this man is giving you?
