Abortion Dialog

N:  ...Mitt Romney..he is against women's rights.. he is against abortions even if someone has been raped...no, not all abortions are proper, but if someone is raped, or if the mother might die...is that not up to the parents...? If a mother dies, what kind of life would a child have or the other children?

A:  I understand it is easy to feel bad for someone who has been raped, but sometimes an abortion will put more emotional damage on the person from killing a baby that it will cause more harm than having the baby and giving it up for adoption. And here is something else that I have read.

A:   If a rescuer is venturing into a burning vehicle to try to save its injured occupants, and is only able to save one of the two occupants, is it justifiable for him to then take out his gun and shoot the occupant he was unable to save? Of course not! Intentionally killing those you were not able to save is never justified in health care. We have the technology and expertise to provide quality health care to a pregnant woman without intentionally killing her unborn baby, regardless of the severity of her disease.

I have great compassion with those who have to make those decisions, because my cousin passed away from breast cancer, and bone caner. She was pregnant, she made the decision to not do chemo till later in her pregnancy. She lost her life but did save the life of her baby. She may have died either way, only God knows. But it was very sad. If my child were about to get hit by a car, I would run out in front of the car to save my child, even knowing it would take my life, and take me away from my other children. I would hope I would never have to make a choice like that. Not easy! May God be with everyone that is in that type of a situation. God is a loving and merciful God and will be there for anyone who has maybe made the wrong decision, and to help them get through it. Love you N, just some thoughts..........

J:  My son and daughter-in-law are finally able to have a baby of their own because a girl made the choice not to abort.  She made the ultimate sacrifice of her own happiness in order to give life to her daughter, and to give her baby to a couple who were unable to have children.
Praise be to God for this wonderful gift!

 D:  Abortion kills children who have a right to life. There are too many women and young girls out there having a gay ole time messing around without knowing they need to deal with what happens if they become pregnant. There are so many families that can't have children and are heart broken and in tears for some. Our good Lord tells us in his Word that sexual intercourse belongs with a married man and woman. I love you, N, very much.

E:  I know the sweetest child whose mother was the victim of rape. Would you deny that child life?? I can only imagine the trauma a woman would go thru being raped...but many times giving birth to the child...and if one chooses..giving that child to a family wishing for a child...actually helps the mother mend, whereas having an abortion just places more trauma on top of trauma. I do have some life experience to relate to this, believe me...I choose life unless it is endangering the mother's health. This is definitely not a black and white issue and I feel Romney is saying just that.

J:  N, I must respectfully disagree on this "right to choose" issue. Abortion kills, and no one (especially a mother) should have a right to choose to do that--especially to a child--a child who is also a human being just as much as an adult is a human being. What about the child's right to life? Do we not all have the same human rights to life, liberty and happiness? Life begins at conception. Does the human right to life begin only at a certain age? What age would that be if we decide that the human right to life begins only at a certain age? And if the human right to life begins at some pre-decided age, then wouldn't we have the same "right to choose" whether any other person gets the right to life?--at any age right up to that certain age of life?

The problem began when we chose to reject what God said--He says that He knew us before we were born. Can we know someone before that person is born, if that person is not a human being? Think on that for a moment:  God knew us even before we were born!  He says that He saw us being knit together in our mother's womb, and He saw all of our days before even one of them came to be! This is the truth of God's Word, and that is what Romney believes in and is willing to take a stand for--despite being criticized for it.

E:  Exactly when did Romney say he was "against women's rights?" N, I believe you are listening to others instead of what Romney is really saying.

 
J:  Romney is simply against murder. He is for the God-given rights of any human being, including babies, whether born or unborn!  Babies have life and breath even inside the womb. They eat and sleep and kick inside their mother's womb. Being inside the womb does not make them any less human than those outside the womb. Did you know that a child who died inside the womb will be seen and known in heaven someday? What a sad realization for all those children who were killed by their mothers before they were born.
