Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”
Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.
An Australian couple announced they aborted their healthy baby because doctors said that he would have a deformed hand.
The baby, who would have had no problem living a full life with good health, would have had a problem with a “cleft” left hand.
The couple, known as “Frank” and “Cindy”, said that they thought it might be possible the child would have a “difficult” life and that other children would be making fun of him.
“I grew up with many people who were disabled, and… there was discrimination,” “Cindy” said. “I didn’t want my child to be discriminated against. The problem is… obvious because it is the fingers, and I think the child would have a very hard life.”
The couple said that they feel relieved.
“We were being told that our only option was to give birth to a baby that we did not wish to give birth to at all. We felt we have been forgotten and abandoned through the political and judicial uncertainty of the abortion laws,” Frank said.
Doctors made a point to note there was nothing life threatening about the child’s condition.
Pray that they seek God and ask for forgiveness, and they would follow after Jesus and help others to avoid doing the same things. Their child is in heaven.
Concerned about a child being discriminated against , but not concerned about murdering that child.
How horrible. Glad my husband was not aborted. He has numerous birth defects, yet in his younger days he could fix cars and anything else mechanical. He contributed to society and worked to raise four children. People have always degraded him because of his looks. Maybe they are deformed, mentally.
