It's so easy for the anti-abortionist to condemn those who have to make the varied and complex choices about whether or not to abort. They often refuse to look at the many compelling reasons why abortion makes sense. How would you handle abortion in the following 4 situations? 1. There's a preacher and wife who 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 the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion? 2. The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. They have 4 children. 1st is blind, 2nd is dead, 3rd is deaf, 4th has TB. She finds she's 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's not married. Her fiance is not the father of the baby, and he's very upset. Would you consider recommending abortion? * If you said "Yes" to the first case, you have just killed John Wesley. One of the great evangelists in the 19th century. * If you said "Yes" to the second case, you have killed Beethoven. * If you said "Yes" to the third case, you have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer. * If you said "Yes" to the fourth case, you have just declared the murder of Jesus Christ! (Matthew 1:18-23). The wisdom of man is not the wisdom of God.
