It wasn't my intention to embarrass my church here, but I suppose they have to take responsibility for who they're going to follow.... Maybe I'll give them a chance to respond to these blog posts, if they're interested? (Some people at the church headquarters used to read my blog but am not sure they've always continued?) [I'll send them an email.] Have I mentioned my church didn't used to oppose abortion over 30 years ago?
Whatever else can be said about an embryo or fetus, I believe it's true that they don't have a conscience. Some of the researchers wanted Christians to pity and defend the lives of the unborn, on account of them being helpless.... But as I said, I believe God wants us to help and defend ALL the disadvantaged people in this world, as far as possible. And we're supposed to preach the gospel to everyone. A youth or adult person who has been living in this earth has been invested in--and they have choices to make regarding good and evil. The unborn have been invested in fairly little.... For most young adults, it doesn't take a lot to get pregnant....
Is it fair to spend our resources--if we don't feel prepared for whatever reason--on bringing up the unborn?
The researchers who don't value the lives of mothers over the unborn are almost guilty of violence towards women, in my opinion. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't a reasonable person choose the mother's life over the baby's--if only one of them could be saved [due to some unusual health circumstances]?
Pregnancy and childbirth can be a wonderful and miraculous experience...but unfortunately it isn't always seen that way and it may be for good reason.... Medical science has given pregnant women a choice, if they're allowed to use it.
