Tricky questions about abortion

[vern_humphrey]

Also, we need to be careful when it comes to assign simple motives and actions. Arkansas has Title IV-E Foster Care issues, which are at least partly responsible for the ‘shunting’.

And how does that work in the best interests of the kids?

It doesn’t.

One foster care reform group I support is kidsarewaiting.org. The site has some pretty compelling statistics.

Thanks for the site.

I am saying that it is not practical for all to physically do something. A mother who has young children at home for example cannot go out and help at a crises pregnancy center. Her first duty is to her children. A disabled person cannot physically volunteer at birth right. A poor family cannot financially give to pregnancy centers. But they are all called to speak out about the evils of abortions.

It is ridicules to say that all who are against abortion should have to help the mother, when in reality that is not their calling. God gave each of us a calling and for some that calling is not to physically or financially help out, but since we all have a voice we should speak out against it and of course we should all pray, fast and offer repentance for these evils.

OK, that makes more sense.

I’m more concerned about those who do have the resources to help out and do not; their voices smack of hypocricy…and there are many of them. Granted, many of the more vocal voices are political in nature.

The sanctimonious message unfortunately seems to be, from some, “Well, if you didn’t have sex outside of marriage, you wouldn’t have this problem now, would you? Well, you certainly can’t have an abortion, because that would be murder. Perhaps you should have thought of the consequences first, Missy. It’s your problem, YOU take care of it”.

Methinks that’s not the answer Christ would have given.

When it comes to hypocricy, there seems to be a** lot** of it among those who accuse pro-lifers of saying, “It’s your problem, YOU take care of it”.

Perhaps if you attended meetings of your local Right To Life group, you’d see how hard they work to assist mothers-tio-be who need help.

You mean “you” in general or me specifically? Personally, I see some hypocricy on both sides, but that doesn’t negate the value of those who are working to help moms-to-be.

In general.

The work the pro-life people do has to be seen to be believed. And there are always those who will refuse to see so as to make the argument that pro-lifers do nothing.
