Is abortion acceptable for married women?
Question:
Hi Minister, good day.
I am a child of God and would like to know if abortion is a sin for a married woman to do. I have four young children, and recently, I got pregnant. We are done having children, and this one came in. We are considering removing it since it’s barely one month old, and we already said no more children. My family is already upset with me because of the way I had my children (they weren’t spaced) and my health as well. This happened mistakenly. What is the right thing to do, please?
Thank you.
Answer:
The right thing to do is pray earnestly to God and beg His forgiveness for even considering murdering one of His children.
Is murder acceptable if someone decides their life will be easier if you don't live? Morality is not based on individual preferences. It is based on what God said. Human life is valuable to God. "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man" (Genesis 9:6). If you wanted your children spaced out or if you didn't want another child, you should have used something to prevent conception. Since you weren't taking precautions, you can't claim the natural consequences are inconvenient. The choice was made when you were having sex. You said no more children, but you didn't follow through with what you said. Is that this child's fault?
If you truly don't want the child, put him up for adoption, but killing him is not an option.
Response:
This was very much needed. Thank you, sir, for this message. I needed to hear this. I’m keeping it, and God has mercy on my thoughts even though I was thinking about it. God bless you, sir. You just saved a soul.
