Abortions

This post is about facts, plain and simple, not judgements, emotions, or opinions. The post makes a very straightforward, very specific fact.




IF you have an abortion, then it is a fact, that you are now the mother of a dead baby, AND if you gave consent for the abortion then you are also the killer of that baby (as are those performing the procedure). This is fact, not opinion, no emotions, and no judgement, just fact. That is all I meant by the post and all it means.

I have stated many times before, in this post and in others, that I am against abortion, BUT some circumstances still call for it, such as rape, incest or health concerns, none of these reasons are 100% ok for an abortion but they are the only reasons in which an abortion may be considered ok, It is not for me to decide if the choice of getting an abortion was a good choice or a bad one, so long as it is for one of those reasons. That is left for god to decide, not me.

But for any other reason besides those, it is wrong, the killing of a child is a very very serious matter, and should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. But even when it is unavoidable and has to be done, it is still a very sad, very horrible thing. However, just because you have had to make that decision does not mean that you did the wrong thing, or are a horrible person yourself, only the loss of the child is the horrible matter. As LDS people, we understand and are taught that we will get the chance to raise that child again, whether it be now or in the millennium.

That is a huge blessing, if someone had to give up their child to stay alive or sane, then it is sad, I cannot imagine the pain and suffering someone would go through knowing that they had no choice but to kill their own child, born or unborn. But at least we can know that even if that situation occurs we will be given the chance to raise that child again in the future, so although it hurts it can at least hurt a little bit less.

I have never judged anyone for their decisions, I am friends with people from all walks of life, people that have made countless decisions that I do not condone, but I still love each and every one of them, and I treat them personally with kindness, charity and love. But just because I love them, and support them in life, does not mean that I have to agree with their actions or support their individual actions, nor will I ever do so if it contradicts my own standards or beliefs.

I am a christian, a member of the LDS Church, and a priesthood holder, I have the duty and Obligation to spread the word of the lord and bring people to repentance. That includes telling people what actions they are taking are wrong in the eyes of the lord, it is not my duty or my right to tell the person that they themselves are bad, only that their actions may be bad.

I am very sick and tired of everyone telling me that I have no right to tell someone they have done wrong, that I must idly sit by and what them perform evil, unjust, or simply wrong actions and not say my peace. THIS IS WRONG.

Christ himself DID NOT sit idly by while people sinned around him, he told people of their sins, and not always in a kind voice either, he got angry at them, he flipped tables and yelled and screamed at the sinful. But he always forgave them for their actions if they seeked for it.

I will never sit idly by and watch people make decisions that are against the word of the lord. I will always spread his gospel, and I will always help those on the wrong path move towards the right one. I will express what people do wrong, and I point out what needs to be changed, because I have the duty and responsibility to do so.

But I will never judge a person for their actions, I do not know nor may I ever truly understand what has brought them to the point in their lives to make those decisions, so I have no right to say they are going to hell, or heaven, or that they are bad or good people.

BUT I have been given the right, obligation and guidance to know what actions are wrong and to point out to those that are making them that they are wrong.
