Consider this:
A young woman gets pregnant and
shares the news with her family. Within the week she is visiting an aunt. While
there, she goes to a doctor. A week later, she's back home. Only her family and
the doctor know she's had an abortion. The family name – its reputation – is
safe.
This is arguably an epidemic in the Church*: Women who have
abortions to preserve personal or family reputation. Church, this has to stop.
If looking like a "good" Christian is more
important than your grandchild/son/daughter/niece/nephew gestating in the womb,
you are not Pro-Life.
If appearing "perfect" is more important than the
life your
grandchild/son/daughter/niece/nephew, you are not Pro-Life.
If you are willing to murder YOUR grandchild/son/daughter/niece/nephew
to keep people from talking about you, YOU ARE NOT PRO-LIFE.
You're selfish. That precious reputation you're trying to
protect is a straw house built on quicksand.
Let God tear it down. Let Christ be your new foundation. Let
Him build you a fire & earthquake resistant mansion.
Let Him teach you how He can use sinful circumstances to create
wondrous beauty. Become truly Pro-Life.
*That is, all who believe Jesus the Christ, is the Son of
God who was crucified and has risen from the dead, regardless of denomination
