Choose Life - Blog Posts

I have a question. We obviously share very different beliefs which I acknowledge and respect, but what is your opinion on abortion if the person was raped? Especially if they were raped underage. I as well believe that creating life is beautiful but that just seems downright murderous and disgusting. I would like to know your stance on it. Or, perhaps, if the parent would die during birth what would your opinion be?

that is a good question, and I myself used to think about it a lot and I didn’t really know my own opinion on it. However, my religion teacher showed me her opinion and why that’s her opinion and that really helped me and I hope (and think) it could help you too. She said something like this:

What is this? (And to which we answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was planned and the parents are very happy about it

Now what is this? (to which we again answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was conceived by rape. They look the same, don’t they. It’s because they are the same.

and as for if the parent would be likely to die, you never know what could happen. It’s still possible the parent could end up alive and well, and it’s also possible the parent could die from the abortion. No matter if you choose death or life, you could still die. There’s always still a chance you could die no matter what you choose. You could risk it to kill another living being, or you could risk it giving another living being a chance at a full, long life. I believe that you should always choose life, but though I strongly disagree with the people who don’t, I can see part of where you’re coming from.
