After watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lHXH0Zb2QI#t=29) and reading this article (http://liveactionnews.org/mother-wins-case-to-kill-her-disabled-daughter/) last night, I didn't get much sleep. As a Christian I don't see how I could be anything but Pro-Life. I don't think it is my place to play God and end a life, no matter what the "reason". I know that I have previously mentioned, before I was saved I did think there were exceptions to the rule for abortion (rape and incest). But now, knowing that we are all created in His image, and that there is a plan and purpose for each one of us, there is most definitely not an exception to this rule. How can a Christian, a Child of God support abortions, Death with Dignity Act, or Compassion and Choices? Should we support these causes because we don't want to see others suffer? Or do we support them so our suffering isn't drawn out? What is the difference in suicide and Death with Dignity? You can commit suicide by overdosing on a prescription drug, or you can take the Death with Dignity route, fill your prescription, open the individual capsules into a glass of water, drink the magic drink, and die. How can someone rationalize that suicide is not the same?
I am positive that some will think since I am not the one sick and suffering, or pregnant from a rape, or elderly with a case of dementia I couldn't possibly know what I would do in those situations. But, I like to think that I can. I am armed with the Word of God. I am surrounded by my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ. I know right from wrong. I know that through my suffering God is teaching me something. God sent His only son to die for our Sins. Wow! How amazing is that? Our heavenly Father, sent His one and only son to die for us? I am worthy? I am loved? I am forgiven?
Tonight, I ask that you join me in praying for those that are lost. Pray for those that are ill and think it can only get worse, and feel they have no reason to live, or have no family to stand by their bedside. Pray for the scared women contemplating abortion, that God puts someone in their life to show them His love, mercy, and forgiveness; we are all worthy of these things.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13
