Yes, it has, once again, been a while since the last post. And as I generally say, I really need to change that by just establishing a period of each day to visit with this blog".
Though this blog is generally about what I sew, or knit, or quilt, or crochet, or cook ..... today I want to write on a topic that is deeply troubling me. Abortion vs adoption. Better yet, a look at a woman who recently blogged her love for abortion and her hate for adoption. As a Christian and as a Pro-Lifer, I am saddened by Jessica DelBalzo's take on this issue.
She writes:
Terminating a pregnancy is not an unethical act, yet suggesting that abortion should be rare implies that there is something undesirable about having one. …
Suggesting that abortion be ‘safe, legal, and rare,’ and crowing that ‘no one likes abortion,’ accomplishes nothing for women’s rights. … Rather than trying to cozy up to the forced-birth camp, women who value their freedom should be proud to say that they like abortion. In fact, they should venerate it whole-heartedly. Abortion is our last refuge, the one final, definitive instrument that secures our bodily autonomy. What’s not to love?
Interestingly enough, she hates adoption, largely due to women in the 1950's to 70's hiding their pregnancy's and putting the babies up for adoption, stating that is more unethical than abortion.
I sincerely hope and pray this one woman is in an extreme minority of the female population. I would like to believe there are more women who have a higher regard to human life than this one person.
As a mother of three, and with three babies waiting for me in Heaven, I look at the mysterious gift of life as the miracle it is, and I give thanks to God for granting me the gift of receiving His children into this earthly life. I pray everyday I have given my daughter and two sons the right tools to use now that they are adults and having children of their own.
But most of all, I find myself praying for a woman I do not know. A woman who does not speak for me. A woman whose mother brought her life into this world. A woman, who after I did a google search on, is a mother herself. God says to, "... Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" Mathew 5:44
By Pat Franklin: Abortion, as we know it today, may have not been commonplace in biblical days. Regardless, there were ways people could hurt or even kill an unborn child. God knew this, so he put forth laws in the bible to protect unborn children from violence.
The following verse is an example of the Bible protecting the unborn:
Exodus 21
22 “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(
NOTE: Any verse that calls for the death penalty is left for the governing officials and justice system to carry out. No one should ever take the law and the death penalty into their own hands, to do so would result in murder, not justice.)
This verse illustrates how God instructs the government to give an unborn child the same legal protection as an adult. When harm falls upon an unborn child, the child was important enough to warrant legal action against the guilty man.
Ok ... for those who understand, I thank you. For those who find condemnation in my words, I pray for you, but do not slander what I have written ....
