Also, I'm not sure where you're coming from with "Christians simply cannot condone the sin of abortion..." The New Testament speaks endlessly of forgiveness, which is the same thing as condoning sin according to Webster's dictionary.
Also, does anyone really think that it is God's divine plan to have all of the young African American and Latino girls walking around pushing strollers at the age of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17? Especially while our young Black men seem to be content to make babies and then move on to the next available coochie? All men aren't like DoggyStyle82. I would have quoted him but his post has mysteriously disappeared.
Also, I get the impression from some of the posts that I've read that if a woman gets pregnant, then she has been punished for commiting the sin of adultery and that she should accept her punishment by having her child. Should children be seen as a punishment? I think they should be seen as a blessing.

If you have read what I have said, Children are a privilage, not a right. A young woman needs to realize that when she has sex whether married or not, there is a possibility of having a baby. 13 year olds pushing around strollers and putting babies in an unstable enviroment is NOT God's plan, but I am sure it is not in God's plan to KILL them either in the womb. Married couples can make educated choices if they are not ready to have a baby... They can simply abstain MUTUALLY, or if they choose to have sex and a baby comes from it, you still DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL IT because your not ready.
Have you read Shalom2U reason as to why she got an abortion, She said and I quote "I was selfish." Abortion is indeed a SELFISH ACT, by killing another life to make yours better.
Also if we educated out men and women to know that sex was made for marriage and not for self gradification OUTSIDE of marriage, then we (The world) wouldn't have this mentality.
Children are not a punishment. Yes their upbringing takes work and many sleepless nights, but the labors are worth it when you see you have produced a productive person in the world. My mother has told me that she wanted to abort me in pregnancy... boy am I glad she didn't!!
The Lord saw ME in the womb that I would be destined for greatness nad spared me!
God forgives all that COME TO HIM... but He is also a JUST God that won't take the sin of abortion lightly...We all will stand before him on judgement day and answer for all we have done.
That's all I have to say today...
AMEN!!
