With the recent election and the fact that I was undecided I had several people try to win me over to their side with the pro life or pro choice argument. My answer to them was neither here near there. I am not able to get on a side of this issue and have not ever been able to. If I was in this situation and found myself with an unwanted pregnancy (and I have had a few surprise babies but never unwanted) I could never get an abortion. On the other hand if I found myself pregnant, and something threatened my health to carry full term. I would (most likely) terminate. It would be very hard for me to make this decision but I have five kids already on this earth who need me and two of them are still very young and will need me for several more years. Now since I haven't faced this I can't say that this would be a final decision for me. I believe as every other Christian believes it is a sin to kill a life. So I would have to have a very sound reason to commit this sin. Then pray for forgiveness everyday. And live with my sin.
As for those who are pro life and want to take that choice away.
We don't staple the stomachs of obese people because they are committing the sin of gluttony. We don't do anything unspeakable to adulterers, also a big sin in my eyes, committed to frequently these days. Lying is a sin, do we sew up lips? Actually how often do we kill killers? You see where I am going with this. We can't decide that some woman can forsake her family and kids because she has a life she can't support and thrive without giving up her own. So there is my take on this issue. I wouldn't choose this sin, neither would I like to have the choice taken from me under certain circumstances. I believe some sins should be left up to the sinner to decide. After all it is their sin. Next issue please.
