Dying during an abortion

[Cara_Serrano]

Hmm, you know, your statement reminds me of a study I read about a long time ago. I wish I could find it again, as it was very interesting. Basically, the study found that in the first 8 weeks of pregnancy, due to hormonal changes, women were at a higher risk of depression and anxiety, including suicidal ideation and panic attacks.

Interestingly, 8 weeks is when the highest percentage of women abort their children.

Yes! In addition to these hormonal changes, now imagine the added stress of an unwanted pregnancy during the first eight weeks.

So is it being said that women who undergo hormonal changes are not responsible for their actions?

No. All women and all men have hormones. I’m saying that it’s tougher to make a rational decision when the hormonal levels are as high as they are in the first eight weeks of pregnancy.

(My brother, who read this post over my shoulder, said it would be like a man trying to make a rational decision while watching a cute girl do a strip tease.)

So…are men who undergo hormonal changes still responsible for their actions? Of course they are! It just takes a lot more fortitude if they have to make that moral decision during a lap dance. Now if the lap dance lasts 8 weeks… well, those are the odds the pregnant woman is facing when she’s makes her decision.

No, it’s not an excuse, just something to think about.

I remember one of the first things I learned at PRCs was to give the most emotional help and interaction to those who were in their first trimester. The first 8 weeks were considered a red area where the woman needed a cellphone/hotline to call at anytime, constant encouragement, woman to woman chats, even just someone to go out shopping or for lunch.

Cara, you are right, it is definitely food for thought. Imagine if women in their first trimester were offered extensive counseling, offers to help them transition, or even just someone to talk to before they could sign for an abortion. I bet this would halve the yearly sales.

No, it means that they need a great deal more family support during that time. They need unconditional love, and a strong sense of security.

There is no need to bring up these kind of hypothetical situations because we should never EVER try to judge another person’s life after death. We do not judge others. We do judge actions, hence the reason that we say that dying in a state of mortal sin will get you a one way ticket to hell, BUT we can only say that if we are not speaking about anyone in particular. Even had this story been true, no one would have known the full truth behind what was going on besides the woman involved and God. And this is why we do not judge.

Later.

the post wasn’t directed at anyone. It was only on dying during commiting mortal sin. Secondly there is a doctor to witness, and nurses to the sin in action. For instance a woman getting an abortion, has done it before, isn’t thinking much about it, just wants to get it done and get on with life… Then something bad happens, like a perforation of the uterus and she bleeds to death. Since its unexpected and no time for contrition or penance would that seal the fate of damnation? hypothetically speaking?

Since God knows our futures would the woman who had died, if she had not died and say God knew in the future she would repent of that sin(preknowledge of God knowing she would repent later had she lived)… would that be able to save her? Or does God only consider what we do here and now and considers nothing that we may do in the future had we not died.
