Comments on: Abortion http://www.sillyoldbear.net/2008/09/sanctity-of-life-6/ a blog about life and stuff Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:36:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrew http://www.sillyoldbear.net/2008/09/sanctity-of-life-6/comment-page-1/#comment-40 Andrew Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:08:50 +0000 http://www.sillyoldbear.net/?p=422#comment-40 There's one more issue I wish you would have included in this series. Our morals drive us to something beyond taking a stand on this moral dilemma. Our morals drive us to help the mothers who chose to have their babies even when the option to abort is tempting. They compel us to help her pay for the doctor and hospital bills and to be by her side when others won't. Our morals compel us to foster children in OUR homes and adopt children into OUR families. The problem that we as Christians too often chose to ignore is that our statement of morals cannot end with the statement itself or a vote in a voting booth or even a letter to a government official. As it stands, the foster care and children homes of this nation couldn't handle the millions of children a year that would be placed in their care were abortion to be outlawed. It breaks my heart that Christians are too often unwilling to step up and impact the lives of the children who survive with abortion legalized. If we can't do it now, why should the government reverse the ruling? If we cannot, by our actions towards these unwanted children of the world, convince others that a life is indeed precious, we should not be surprised when they do no acknowledge that it is precious.
