Four Reasons Why One Should Not Abort A Baby
Would you consider abortion in the following four situations?
1. There is a preacher and his wife who are very, very poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she is pregnant with the 15th. They are living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessiveness of the world population, would you consider abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles and the mother has TB. They have four children. The first is blind, the second dead, the third is deaf and the fourth has TB. She finds she is 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 is not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby and he is very upset. Would you consider recommending abortion?
If you said yes to all of the above situations, then
In the first case, you just killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists in the 19th century.
In second case, you have killed Ludwig van Beethoven.
In the third case, you have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.
And in the fourth case, you have just declared the murder of Jesus Christ.
