ReplyThere will always be pain and suffering, it is the choice we made, so now it is your choice you can either choose God as your creator, saviour, and except the fact that he is the one in the drivers seat. You could also stop blaming him for all the bad and be his hands, his feet, his eyes and go make a difference in the world instead of placing blame. Or you can choose to continue to blame God for all that is bad, after all it is easier to blame someone else for what is wrong then take the blame ourselves.

ReplySomething else to think about my dear Michael Meloth, "God" is the Creator, "The Almighty," we play by His rules. If a fertilized egg doesn't implant then it is by "His" will and it wasn't meant to be. But if the egg is fertilized and does implant that is also because of His will, it is because the child was meant to be. He after all is our Creator he made us, He built us, He designed us. So if that fertilized egg does not implant then God has His reasons as to why. Who are you to question that? It is God's right to choose, the life cycle is his creation. Consider yourself lucky that he chose you, you could be swimming in a cesspool.
God didn't create abortion, he didn't create pain, he didn't create diseases, accidents, starvation or murder, or so on. This comes from humans from the beginning of His creation. He told us we could have had a beautiful life that He would take care of us if we so choose, but He warned us that if we ate of the fruit we would no longer have that privledge. So yes He gave us the right to choose. It was chosen for us by humans that there is sin, pain and suffering. God did not make that choice. But He still gives us the choice to accept Him, to know Him, to love Him, so that we can live with Him eternally in the end. He sent His only Son, in human form to show us how much He loves us, He gave us a second chance by His Son dying for our sins so that we could be forgiven. -

Replywith. Don't be afraid to do this, because only when love is put to the test can it's real value be seen. Sex equals pregnancy/STD's and obviously even trying to prevent it sometimes doesn't work it is because God is in Control. That baby was meant to be.
I know I have gone on and on here, but I do hope you read it. I hope and I pray that you ask God to come into your life, He will only go to you if you ask, He does not force himself upon you. This is where he gives you free will, to choose to have him in your life, or choose to shut him out. The choice is yours.
If you do not miscarry and decide to abort my prayers will still be with and your baby. But know there is help no matter what you choose. These people writing back and forth to you aren't judging you, they are giving you facts, they are giving you the opportunity to learn all the facts before you make a choice you may regret. They do this because they know Jesus, they have excepted him as their saviour. They want to help you. As Christians we want to reach out to you, and yes we want you to choose life, but we do not judge, and we do not throw stones, not one of us has the right to do that. If you fall we will not just shove you away like a broken toy we will open our arms and love you, we will help you and ask the Lord to fix you. You will be in my prayers. If you need someone to talk to you are more than welcome to talk with me. May God be with you Amanda. -

ReplyThis is how God planned it, he created the way a life was to be formed. There is no science to it. Those little sperms that don't make it to the egg weren't meant to be, they are not wasted they never were "Life" begins at conception, conception is when the sperm fertilizes the egg. If the egg is not fertilized then there is no life. When life does begin it is because that baby was meant to be. If the mother miscarries then that was meant to be, it is God's will. We should not question, as he is the one in control, it is his plan not ours. Show me where God says I made you so you could choose to destroy the life I have created.
I see that it is posible that you will miscarry. If so that will be God's choice.
Having sex was meant for two people who are married, for people who truly love each other. If you are sleeping with someone that you are not married to, then you are lying to them with your body. In sex the body is saying I give myself entirely to you. Theres nothing of me that I am not giving you. But if you are not married to them that's a lie. It's saying, I give you my body (but I won't give you myself). Or "I'm totally yours (until I'm totally someone else's). In sex the body makes a promise, even if you won't. If you or anyone for that matter are sexually active and you want to figure out if it's love apply the love test. Take the sexual part out of the relationship and live the virture of chasity. If you remove the lust you can see if there was any love to begin -

Replythe girls, as they didn't want them to become attached. Well hello why would you not want them to become attached. I think the answer is obvious.
It was not until I was pregnant again with my 4th child that I had an ephiphany. I had talked with my friend who was an ultrasound tech. I told her I thought I was pregnant because I had a feeling, even though I had not missed a period yet I had an intuition that I was. She said let's go back and do an ultrasound, I was like, you can't see anything yet, don't I need to wait till I miss my period and have bloodwork done. She said just come back and we will look. I was amazed, on the screen was this little spot maybe the size of a kidney bean, and actually shaped like a kidney bean. It had a black dot where the eye was.Then you could see two more very small dots where an arm and a leg were forming. Then she pointed out another small dot only this dot was blinking, Oh my God I said is that the heartbeat? I could not believe my eyes, this was only 3 weeks almost four since I concieved and there is a heartbeat. I started to cry as I realized life really does begin at conception. -

ReplyThe first time I ever felt the pain and the guilt of my abortion was not till I got pregnant with my second child (which at the time to me was my first) I miscarried at 10 wks. I was devastated, I swore God was punishing me for what I did. And what made it harder was the girl I worked with was also pregnant, so it was very difficult to watch her tummy grow knowing that our babies would have been born at the same time. I would cry myself to sleep, and I prayed (finally) and asked God to forgive me, to please give me a second chance. A few months later I was pregnant again. This time I started bleeding around the 8-9th week. I started freaking out, but instead of blaming God or feeling like he was punishing me, I prayed, I taped a cross to my stomach, and I put my trust in him. In October of '83 I had a beautiful baby girl. My faith journey had just begun. It took many years for it to build, for me to finally realize God really is the one in control. And even though I felt the pain and the guilt of having an abortion, I still felt it was the womans choice. That is because I was truly unaware of what an abortion actually does, and because I really did not think of it being a life while inside my womb. I worked in a radiology department so there would be girls that were sent over from the clinic to have an ultrasound to determine how many weeks they were, so the Dr could determine what kind of abortion was going to be done. The technician was advised not to show the ultrasound to

ReplyI remember the bright lights of the operating room, I can remember hearing the nurses and Dr's chatting away, laughing, I remember the sound of the machine. Then the next thing I remember is them getting me up and saying it was time to go home. Not a word was spoken the whole ride, and it was never mentioned again.
My life continued but my behavior had changed. My self esteem, I had none, I felt worthless, I felt like I didn't fit anywhere, I started hanging out with the wrong kind of people, skipping school, drinking, smoking pot, and having sex. This was the only way at the time that I felt like I belonged somewhere. Eventually I quit school. I met my husband in 1976 the year I was suppose to graduate. I know God put him in my life to let me know how special I was. He got me to go back and get my GED. He also was the only person I ever told that I had an abortion, and he still loved me. I still never talked of it and still kept feelings I didn't even know I had shoved in the back of my head somewhere. -

ReplyI know that this is not your situation now but if it were could you choose between the two? The point is whether the baby is in your womb or outside the womb it is still life. For either one their life is in your hands, the choice is yours, as neither one of them can make the choice themselves.
You say do unto others as you would like to be treated, well then I am doing what I wish someone had done for me. Reaching out to someone who is in the same position I was in 37 yrs ago. I was a teenager, 16 yrs old, I went to my parents, who I trusted the most, who I thought would guide me to make the right decision. I mean come on they were my parents. After discussing it we decided that an abortion was the best solution, that way I could continue my education, and continue to have a normal teenage life. I will never forget it. We drove into NY where I stayed overnight in a hospital. They explained that they had to insert seaweed sticks into the cervix to open it up, they explained that I would feel cramping, like having a period almost. then in the morning they would check me again to see if I had dialated enough. Then they would take me in, I would be sedated enough that I would not feel anything but still conscious, like being in la la land they said. -

ReplyDear Amanda,
I have a question for you, take this scenario, let's say you have another child say around 2, you find out your pregnant with another child. Things aren't great your husband has lost his job, your working but the pay isn't great, the benifits suck, and you can't afford to take time off from work. So you decide that having an abortion is the best thing to do. You go to the Dr and you explain everything to him, and he listens nodding his head in agreement. Then he says to you... Amanda I understand completely what you are going through, I know how difficult it must be for you. So I have two choices for you. When you come tomorrow you can let me know which choice you want to go with. The first choice is you can abort your 10 wk old baby, who at ten wks The fingers and toes have separated and the tail has disappeared now. Your baby has taste and tooth buds at this point, which will continue to develop. The brain will continue to grow at an amazing rate and nearly a quarter of a million new neurons are produced every minute! The embryonic heart is completely developed. External genitalia are not apparent until next week, but the testes in baby boys will already be producing testosterone.
Or you can kill your 2 year old baby by a lethal injection, either way your problem is solved. Come back in the morning and you can let me know what you decide.
Did you make your choice yet?
