Re: Abortion as a birth control method against christianity

Life is not always that simple. Where is your compassion? Abortion is not always the decision of the woman alone a lot of the time they are pressured to do so by their partner. I was a sexually promiscuos teenager and all though we all make our own decisions in life most promiscuos females have been sexually abused as children (as was I) and unconsciously this is how they seek love. I too had an abortion, at the time I was 19 and lived by myself away from my family and felt I could tell no-one I was ashamed and very afraid - so I decided to terminate. I remember as I went under General Anesetic being so scared and wishing I had the strength to say no - I have relived that moment many times in my mind. The following days after the operation I could not sleep because of the sheer guilt - I had hot and cold sweats and felt like I was going to hell. Because of this great remorse and regret that I felt I know God has forgiven me, I have paid for my sin over the years I have tortured myself because I have not forgiven me. I have contemplated suicide and I am on anti-depressants because of this. A few weeks after the termination I was broken down on my kitchen floor crying and pleading to God to forgive me and send someone to love me. 6 weeks after the termination I went out with my girlfriends for the first time and found my future husband - God had forgiven me and was looking after me - he loves me no less. I now know what makes a sin greater than another - and that is the amount of remorse and regret you feel i.e. the more remorse and regret the lesser the sin is in God's eyes. I am a truly spiritual being now, and have God in my heart and I experience miracles on a daily basis. God forgives instantly, so should we. Tweet
