christians answer please…..abortion?
im 18 and im 9 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend. im a spiritfilled christian and he is agnostic. ive gone down my own road for the past 6 months or so and this is where is am now. i know the calling on my life is to be a missionary this is on my heart so much;it has been since i was about eight. at the moment ive got tonnes of options to go to different places as a missionary. a few years ago i went to bali,and work in an orphanage for six weeks, i left my heart there and now theyve asked me to go back indefinatly to the same place etc. this is a dream ive had since i left. anyway i know and believe with all my heart that abortion is wrong and ive always been dead set against it. but now that im in this situation i feel differntly about it and ive got an appointment for one on thursday. im considering it cos if i do this then i can go back to bali get right with god etc and break up with my boyfriend(not something i want to do)there is noway we can go thru adoption.please read below…
my mum had a dream about all the countries that im called to and that if i dont get right with god soon its going to be too late. but if i have this baby then i wont be able to do this either….i dont know what to do!
I don’t care what you do, but I want you to remember this feeling of why you want an abortion, and understand why other women would want it too.
This is the reason why you cannot be against something until it affects you personally.

Do what feels right for you at this particular point in your life….God forgives you.

take the consequence for your actions, and by that i mean go through with the birth, and put him/her up for adoption. you’ve made a living being. there is no backing out. please don’t even think about terminating the life growing inside you.
don’t pass the consequences on to a helpless child. even if the kid has a 1% chance of success in this world, he/she deserves that chance rather than death.

You’ve already had sex without marriage, and now you want to kill your yet to be born baby? Please don’t do that! Please ask God for Guidance here.

Well, some Christians feel that abortion is "the lesser of two evils"- that it is kinder to you to let you have an abortion rather than force you to keep the baby. BUT
honestly, i think if you think that you can’t go through with the abortion, then don’t have one. Will you regret it for the rest of your life? If you believe that abortion is wrong; don’t have one. It’s YOUR choice.
But if you decide to have the baby, there are still options; have it adopted, or raise it and become a missionary when you are older.
I think you should discuss it with a priest.
Personally, I would say don’t have an abortion (I am religious).

Maybe being pregnant is gods will… How will you feel being around lots of children having just aborted your own?

Take some time to yourself to really think about what is right for you. If the time isn’t right for you and you definately can’t go through with adoption, I’m sure God will forgive you for doing what you think is best for you and your family. God is a very caring person and he understands what you’re going through, He’s there for you and if you just listen I’m sure He can give you guidance.
You could also talk to both your pastor and your doctor. Between the three of you and God, I’m sure you can come up with a solution.

CONVENIENCE = MURDER.
You know this already. If you cannot be a missionary to your own child, who can you be?

Well, if you’re a Christian, you know God’s commandments, one of which is: Thou shalt not kill. I’m sorry that you find yourself in this situation, but it is not your child’s fault that you either didn’t use contraception or that your contraception failed.

In Mark 1:15 Jesus says "repent and believe the gospel". Religiously speaking, repent means to change your conduct for the better. If you get an abortion, you did not repent. Put the baby up for adoption if you don’t want it. Most woman who have abortions regret it from then on.

I don’t mean this harshly at all, but as a Christian, I wonder how you would be able to justify killing one child so you can help other children. Have you ever thought about adoption? Your baby is not simply a mass of cells to be gotten rid of. It has a soul and God has a purpose for it’s life also. If you do this, I think you will regret it all your life. Please seek the advise of responsible Christian leaders in this before you do anything drastic. See if your town has a Crisis Pregnancy Center. They do really great work with women facing your situation. God bless you and I hope you make the right decision.

Having that baby IS gonna be inconvenient for you. It will certainly set your dreams back a bit. But you say you’re only 18. Barring a runaway truck, you’ve got a lotta time left to make those dreams come true, dear.
DO NOT make a hasty decision. I know it’s tough trying to exercise patience when you’re all agog to get started being an adult. But if your first act as an adult is to commit murder on the most helpless and innocent fragment of humanity, then it bodes very ill indeed for your future. Please reconsider adoption.
May God be with you, hold you safe and help you. May He even forgive you if you kill that child. Believe me, I have friends who went that route decades ago and they are still sorry. Sadly, the pro-abortionists don’t tell you kids the statistics of their preferred course. The suicide rate for women who get an abortion is 9 times the national average. The drug-addiction rate 12 times, the alcoholism rate more than 20 times the norm. Things to consider, child.
Go with God. And I believe that if you give respect to this baby’s life that God will give you your dream in a far greater way than you can imagine, for in giving life to this child you will have followed God who never takes life, but gives it copiously and abundantly.

Sweetheart, you have a baby. The question is what are you going to do with it/him.her. Yes, there is good work for you to do. But raising a child is good work, too.
As yourself what YOU think is RIGHT. I don’t understand why you can’t give the baby up for adoption. My sister just adopted, and the birth mom was thankful for being able to give her child to a loving family capable of caring for him.
You sound like you are making a choice based on what you want. Your mothers dream is no longer relevant. You have changed that plan. Things are different now. Perhaps our life won’t go the way she believes God intended, but you can still live a blessed and fruitful life. You have to choose between giving your baby the opportunity to know God, loving parents, and a warm home, and giving that opportunity to other people’s children.
Besides, as your child gets older, there is no reason he/she can’t go along with you. I know many "Mish Kids" who were raised in the Missionary Field. Talk about having some amazing experiences! They may not be just like me, but they are so lucky to have traveled as they have.
I am not Christian, but once was. I hate to see someone have an abortion when they are so conflicted about it, because it is permanent and will affect you permanently.
Have you considered the possibility that God wants you to have the baby? That he placed that child within you for a purpose? Perhaps your mother’s dream was off-base, and he is keeping you from harm by keeping you here.
I won’t insult you or be rude. I will not judge you if you decide to have an abortion. But I think that because you are who you are, you should seriously consider changing your plans to include a +1. Let me know if you reconsider the adoption issue. There are lots of different ways to go about it, and you can even know the adoptive parents if you want.
I will be thinking of you. I’d love for you to let me know how things work out for you, but don’t do it here. You’ve already opened yourself up to enough criticism.
Blessings!
Edit: I want to respond to the person who said "do what feels right. God will forgive you". I was Christian for long enough to know that this is NOT what is taught. Jesus said "go, and sin no more", NOT "go sin. I got crucified AND tortured, so you should be good for about 100,000 more sins". Christians are supposed to recognize sin, and keep themselves from it. I’m not saying abortion is a sin, but if that’s what you believe, then being cavalier about it won’t help you.

You should not build your future, – standing on the shoulders of your dead baby.
You want to co-labor with the work of Jesus, – by starting out in violation of God’s will for human lives? You have one soul to consider right now, – and that’s your baby’s soul.
Consider adoption.

DO WHATS RIGHT FOR YOU– DO NOT MESS UP YOUR LIFE FOR SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE .
THIS IS NOT A MORAL DILEMMA. DO WHAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE WORK .
DO NOT MAKE A DECISION BASED ON OR FROM LOVE OR RELIGION. THAT HAS SCREWED UP MORE LIVES AND LEFT PEOPLE IN REGRET TO MAKE LIFE MORE MISERABLE …

You know the answer to this. Stop using Gods word and your "feelings" as an excuse to have an abortion. You may be a missionary yet but your first priority is your child. As a women, your family has to come first. Don’t nullify God’s word by using the excuse of becoming a missionary to have an abortion. Have your child bring it up and then be a missionary if you still feel that way.

There are many missionaries who were sure that they were called here or there but God led them someplace entirely different. God dances with us. In other words, there is not just one path that we are to take in life. God acts and we react. In response to our reaction, God leads us. We make a misstep and a door closes and another door opens. Be open to God.
Here is a personal story. I met a smuggler while traveling in Greece. He smuggled Bibles into Moslem countries along the Mediterranean. Twenty years earlier he lived in Denver Colorado and thought his mission was to serve his church there. But his business partner stole his money and destroyed his life. Of all things, God led him to buy a sailboat (in Denver?), learn to sail and take it across the ocean. It wasn’t the life he thought he wanted, but wow, what that man and his wife experienced in those twenty years.
Matthew T | Jun 15, 2008
You don’t get right with God by having a doctor kill your unborn baby. You get right with God by confessing and repenting and determining that from now on to the best of your ability you are going to do things His way.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
It sounds like you are not trusting in the Lord with all your heart but instead are leaning on your own understanding and that of other people.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
You don’t know, and your mother doesn’t know, how God can work all things together for good by His supernatural provision and power. Instead, like Abraham and Sarah did when Sarah had her husband have sex with her servant Hagar, you figure that you can use your human understanding of your circumstances to "help God out" in fulfilling His plan for your life.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Don’t make such a huge mistake that you will regret for years to come. Just imagine telling people that you began your missionary career by having an abortion. Right off your testimony is shot. It is pagans who sacrifice their children to their "gods" not Christians.
God sees a person in the womb, not an unviable tissue mass.
Jeremiah 1:4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
God says that children are a blessing from Him.
Psalms 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
God says that He sees the unborn in the womb and his supernatural power is active in their development.
Psalms 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

‘im 18 and im 9 weeks pregnant with my boyfriend. im a spiritfilled christian and he is agnostic.’
You’ve got a sense of humor.

Life is all about the choices we make, you made the choice to have unprotected sex and now you have a new life growing within you. You claim to love children and want to work in orphanage’s and say that you believe that abortion is wrong, you love your boy friend, you have only one true choice here and you already know what it is, and it is not taking a life!!!

If you have an abortion, just thinking "Oh, God will forgive me afterwards" He WON’T. Do not tempt the Lord your God, remember? Geez, I’LL take your baby! He or she would have medical insurance, a roof over his or her head, lots of love, and stability. I’m completely serious. My husband and I want a baby badly, and can’t seem to conceive. At the moment, it’s impossible (unless God intervenes).
So you’d have to put your dream back a little. That’s a lot better than tempting God.
You would be a hypocrite if you had an abortion.

Stop thinking of your self and start thinking of the life you created inside you. You will never be right with God if you get an abortion. You are very selfish to just think of what you want in life. Granted we all make mistakes, but you have a cnance to correct your mistake, by having the baby. Aren’t you glad your Mother didn’t abort you? Abortion is MURDER!
And why not adoption? It is better then murder! Why kill an innocent baby?
Gerry | Jun 15, 2008
Don’t let your baby suffer because of what you did. You had sex, now you should accept the consequences.
God blessed you with a baby for a reason. You talk about doing God’s will.
Well, why would God have sent you a baby if He wanted you to abort it?
