SHORT COMMUNICATION 351
The Realities of Abortion
By
Roger Behra
A very large number
of women who have an abortion do not think beyond the moment. They do not think
beyond the desire to be free from the responsibility of an unwanted child. They
fail to realize there are other realities to consider. And many times those realities
come back to haunt them.
The first reality is
that abortion is really murder and gravely immoral behavior. At the moment of
conception a soul is born and has a destiny planned by God, and only God is in
charge and can terminate that new life. So, every effort should be made to keep
the developing new life alive.
John convinced his
wife to have an abortion. She did but was not enthusiastic about it after it
was over. She just kept quiet in her hospital bed. The father then began a
conversation with the nurse. "What was it?" he asked her. "It
was a boy," said the nurse without any expression. In an instant the
father realized what he had done. He had buried his son. Purposely. Indifferently. Irreversibly. Those realities of abortion can never be
changed or forgotten.
God has a destiny
planned for each human being at birth, and when an innocent and helpless baby
is killed through abortion, so is the destiny God had planned. That is another
sobering reality of an abortion.
Many women who have
had an abortion live the middle and last years of their lives full of regret
and remorse. They think of what could have been and realize their mistake.
Each state in the
United States has their own laws regarding the issue of abortion. It is a
conglomeration of uneven laws that tries to accommodate what is wrong as if it
is right. The result as of April, 2013 is 55 MILLION babies lives and their destinies
have been purposely ended. Along with the many other realities of abortion, the
reality that 55 MILLION abortions have taken place in the United States is the
very most shocking reality of the total abortion issue. And to top it all off,
the lives of millions of mothers and fathers have been altered forever.
