Would you consider abortion
in the following four situations?
1. There's a preacher and wife
who are very, very, poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she's
pregnant with her 15th. They're living in tremendous poverty. Considering their
poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending
abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles; the mother has TB. They have 4 children. The 1st is blind, the 2nd is dead, the 3rd is deaf and the 4th has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
3. A white man raped a
13-year-old black girl and she got pregnant. If you were her parents, would you
consider recommending abortion?
4. A teenage girl is pregnant.
She's not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby, and he's very
upset. Would you consider recommending abortion?
_______________________ANSWERS_________________
If
you have answered, "yes" in any of these situations:
In
the first case, you have just killed John Wesley who was one of the great
evangelists of the 19th century.
In
the second case, you have just killed Beethoven.
In
the third case, you have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.
If
you said yes to the fourth case, you have just declared the murder of Jesus.
We
may not be in a situation where abortion could be an issue. No one has the
right to decide if a fetus should live or die. We do not know what the future
holds, why God has placed life in a woman's womb. That baby has the right to be born just like you and me.
