Thoughts everyone?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to know your opinions and thoughts on this topic. So as you all know, abortion is a horrible sin, but still forgivable. I feel a great dead of sadness when people kill innocent children even if they know there is a high probability of conceiving after intercourse. I do not understand why people can just have intercourse, knowing they may conceive, and just kill a child! But when people who are rape victims or abuse victims do this, I feel a deal of sympathy towards the victim and can kinda understand why they did it, but I still believe it is a horrible action, even in these situations, I just feel a bit more sympathy and understanding towards those kind of people, even if they committed a great sin. So thoughts anyone? How do you feel about victims doing that? And just for clarification, if anyone thinks I am fine with such a horrible thing, I AM NOT!! I just feel sympathy towards those people and understanding, but if I shouldn’t be feeling these emotions towards these people, please let me know.

I would be more concerned if you didn’t feel sympathy towards rape and abuse victims. There but for the grace of God go I. We are all sinners and need the mercy of God.

 

[GospelOfMatthew]

It is good you feel sympathy, afterall Jesus came to love the sinners. He came for the sinner not the righteous. We just hate and condemn the sin but love the sinner. This is what your experiences show, you hate the sin of abortion and you are right it is quite a horrible and sad sin. But you feel pain and sadness for rape victims who aborted their child because on a human level you can relate to someone who suffered as much as they did. It is this sympathy that makes us Christian, the ability to love someone on a human level beyond their sins.

Afterall, we aren’t the sum of our sins, we are sons and daughters of a merciful and loving God! And thankfully we have the great gift of Confession!!

How do you feel about victims doing that?

One of my friends is a rape baby.
I personally know two women who had rape babies (three if you count my friend’s mom).
They’re all very bonded and love each other very much.

I think your sympathy is love. Try to feel that for all people who have abortions.

We shouldn’t lose sight of the horrors of abortion, but if you care to expand your sympathy beyond the victims of rape consider the types of mistreatment, abandonment, coercion and hopelessness that go into making that kind of decision. Consider that those women are likely haunted by it for the rest of their lives. Consider all the lies they are fed. We have to want better for babies, and for mamas. We have to even want better for those who perform the abortions. No one dreams of being an abortionist when they grow up.

Get your hands on some Abby Johnson material if you can. She changed the way I looked at everything. I think I used to be one of those people some complain about when we are accused of being just pro baby.
