you always hear stuff from the religious world about abortion being murder, yadda yadda. but it is a hard subject to find one conclusion to come to. growing up in the christian world, it was drilled in my head that abortion is wrong and an abomination. but what about those cases with incest and rape. i do believe that great things come in unexpected small packages. i know of quite a few people that were born from victims of rape. they thank God that they were born and that they went on to do great things. now obviously, this isnt always the case. it just hurts to think about a baby being hurt. now i know that is not the intent ( in most cases) but it just makes me sad. i just am not in a position to say if it is right or wrong. thankfully, i have never been in a position where i was involved in incest or something terrible like that. i cant imagine what that child's life would be like. it sounds awful. so i have no right to say if i think it is a 'sin'. i can have an opinion, but i cant think that i have the right to stop someone's decision. my body is not the one in trouble here. that is what i think but i feel kinda wierd about that. i feel the church frowning on me now.
i still love the church and my christianity.


people please! be mature with this topic! dont attack each other!
