Myth—Abortion Doesn’t Matter

Isn’t that exactly what many women do when they abort their baby?

Whatever the excuse, it all boils down to that fact, which demonstrably shows a lack of love in God Almighty’s eyes. Therefore, every Christian woman should study carefully what God teaches about love. Aside from not demanding one’s own way, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes

all things and endures all things. There is not a woman alive that cannot bear carrying her baby, cannot believe in the best for her baby, cannot hope for the best of all things for her baby and cannot endure the 9-months it will take to carry that baby to term. God has never taught us that life would

always go our way. Sometimes the unexpected happens. When Jackie was with child, we had the attitude that she was “pregnant with possibilities.”

Indeed every woman with child is pregnant with the possibilities of countless successive generations, which belong to that child. If you abort

the child, you delete the child’s descendants. Genocide? I think so.

Yet the baby’s life would most likely be safe in all but the rarest of circumstances since the life of the mother argument is just another specious

argument without merit and almost totally non-existent. No one argues not saving the life of the mother! Given 20-week babies can also survive, it is likely both mother and child would survive a crisis. That assumes of course that [the mother’s and other’s] “love doesn’t demand its [their] own way!”

Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Abortion knows no limits when it comes to human life. That fact is illustrated by lab-created human embryos, which are destroyed or aborted as stem cells are harvested. The promise of stem cell research is for a cure to a variety of diseases and even a veritable treasure chest of human spare parts.

Need a new kidney? Stem cell research offers the promise of growing you a new one that won’t be rejected by your body. Theoretically, every body part can be grown again if the stem cell can be properly activated and directed to do each task. However, this is human life and those engaged in embryonic

research will eventually answer to God. Let no one be confused about stem cells either. As of this date, adult stem cells offer equal or more promise and do not involve the creation and destruction of human life in its embryonic stage, which we know leads to a fully grown human baby in a willing womb.
