Pro Choice?...Think Again!
(This is a repost of a post I did back in October. I didn't have many readers back then, so I thought I would post it again.)
1. A preacher and his wife are very, very poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she's pregnant with the 15th. They're living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. Of their four children, the first is blind, the second has died, the third is deaf, the fourth has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Given this extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
3. A white man raped a 13-year-old black girl and she's now pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She's not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby, and he's upset. Would you recommend abortion?
In the first case, you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists in the 19th century. In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven. In the third case, you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer. If you said yes to the fourth case, you would have declared the murder of Jesus Christ!

Wow I didn't know the situation behind their families.(Except for Jesus) This goes to show what we are really doing when we are aborting.
It's hard for some people to accept that the life inside the womb is actually a separate life to the mother.
Fantastic post, God bless you
Excellent, excellent post!
LL,
The argument doesn't lose it meaning. All life is sacred and suggesting that you switch the people with serial killers is NOT an excuse for abortion. This is no excuse for abortion.
Every one deserves a chance at life.
LL,
You said:
" I didn't suggest that replacing serial killers in your argument is a pro-abortion argument. That wasn't my point. I agree that all life is sacred, even serial killers. The sanctity of life has nothing to do with what someone contributes to society, and your original post relies on that for its impact."
If you agree that all life is sacred and you say that even the life of a serial killer is sacred, then pointing out influential lives (especially that of our Lord and Savior) that have been saved because their parents decided not to have an abortion shouldn't be a problem. Because even if Serial Killers were replaced with the other names, I would still argue (as any Christian should) for the sanctity of life. You see your argument doesn't debunk mine. All it does is make me suspicious of your motives and wonder if you really value the sanctity of life.
