Hi,
So just some personal testimony: I had a relationship where my partner drew me in, but as soon as they had had their desire, they turned on me and wanted to remove the possibility of a child - this confused me for a long time.
Then, just seeing the thread "how can christians justify abortion?" I thought about it, how it's possible to permit abortion, even if you can't ratify it and the Holy Spirit was able to point out to me, "there is someone that wants an abortion: the Devil!" This opened my eyes, to realise that I was in a spiritual battle, both with the Devil and with people who want to take easy advantage of the Law, not just to justify abortion in themselves, but to encourage it, in others.
I feel very sad, about it - but really I should be seeking wisdom and elevating the Lord, not to the point that I ask for permission to be done away with - there will always be cases where abortion seems justified enough (rape, incest, divorce) - but that I get to the point, where despite giving permission, I am encouraging people to think about nurturing a child and what abortion would really mean (it does not mean "you are in control"!). Also, I think it is something that, even as a special rule, needs especial prayer - Lord, hear it!
Thanks.
