This topic is so complicated. I am pro-life and don't believe that unborn babies should be killed. It's hard for me to understand how Christians can be pro-choice. I am christian and am BY NO MEANS perfect. Trust me, the Lord has A LOT of work to do with me so I am not trying to take the holier-than-thou road because, quite truthfully, I just don't qualify. However, I happen to know that the Lord does not make mistakes. And if you trust in Him and His Word than some of the reasons stated for having an abortion
don't measure up. Take this scenario, a teenage girl and boyfriend are having an intimate relationship and she gets pregnant. She has no job, no education, and her boyfriend is a striaght BUM. Should she get an abortion? I am taking an educated guess that most people who said they were pro-choice would say that she should have an abortion, but how is that fair to the unborn child? How is it fair that this baby can never experience life? Alright, she won't have much money, will have to wear second hand clothes, and might possibly go to bed hungry some nights. Can you honestly say that the child would have been better off dead? I know so many people who grew up deprived, some were abused- physically and verbally, and some grew up dead broke the conditions were truly deplorable. But, they grew up- and learned from there past and are going on with healthy lives. Lives that might not have come to be if they were aborted because the family didn't have money, or the mother was too young with no education, or the mother was forced to have the baby. I am not saying that all will turn out alright. But they at least need that chance. This is long and I am sorry, but I would not have right if I just passed by tne topic without responding.
I don't see people who choose to have abortions any different than I see myself who is "shacking" with my boyfriend. None of us are perfect and none will ever be. We all have things we need to work on. All I am saying is that we will never know what will be because we can't see the bigger picture, we have to trust and believe in God. And for those who say that it is more complicated than that (trusting and believing in God), I don't know what else to say to you.
