- This is one of the few intelligent things I read when I scanned this
- group recently (IMHO).
-
- I`m a Christian, thus pro-life. But I don't think I have the right
- to force my beliefs on anyone by saying that they CAN'T have an abortion.
- (Incidently, it was partly due to email with a few people from this group that I
- thought more about my views, and softened from thinking that outlawing
- abortion was part of the solution).
-
- Christians, please read and think about this...
- I think that we need to stop trying to tell everyone
- what to do (it's a waste of time, they won't listen to us), and pray that
- God will work his will through us. The causes of unwanted pregnancy and the reasons
- to abort/not abort are so complex, that no human "solution" will ever be
- found (maybe it COULD be found, but I doubt it...) Only God can help us
- out of this mess! If we put as much effort into prayer as we do "fighting
- the enemy pro-choicers", I believe God would work wonders. I think most
- of us are guilty of not truly beleiving that
-
- he "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask
- or can imagine" (Eph. 3:20).
-
- Non-christians...
- The hope that comes from knowing the power of God and the promise of
- salvation is the only thing that keeps me from getting truly depressed
- given the state of world these days. If I had to rely on the outcome of
- an election, or a Supreme Court decision, etc. Boy, does that ever
- seem hopeless...
