Abortion. Pro-life. Pro-choice.
These words stir up so many emotions. Do you feel it? Is
that passion growing within as you look at those three words? Most people,
Christians and non-Christians, religious and non-religious, have strong
feelings about this issue. As you may expect, pictures like the one below (posted
on Facebook by a Pro-life group known for their controversial anti-abortion 180 Movie) receive heaps of responses both
agreeing and disagreeing with the image.

At this moment, it has gained over 350
comments- some in favor and, of course, some against the opinions and ideas of
Pro-life thinking. As many of you probably know, I’m against abortion; I’m
Pro-life all the way. No, I’ve never chosen the path of abortion myself,
although it was strongly presented to me at the age of 18 when I became
pregnant with my now 14 year old. I have not walked the path of abortion that
so many have. However, one commenter
has, and it is her story I want to share with you today. Her name is Christina,
and this is her powerful response, word for word, to another commenter named
Michelle. Christina shares HOPE. HOPE. Not only for those considering abortion,
but for those living day after day with the consequences of an irrevocable
choice; A permanent choice that cannot be changed- the choice to terminate a
pregnancy and kill an unborn child- the choice of abortion.
“Sorry u feel that way
Michelle-I was raped, by two men, tortured and burned and got pregnant. I
decided against abortion because it wasn't the baby fault, he didn't ask to be
born. I did however, decide on adoption and I can tell u that baby is now 24 years
old, he loves the Lord and is a wonderful musician and has just released his
first album. He has
wonderful parents whom I was able to choose for him they couldn’t have children
of their own and he was very wanted and loved. Today, we have a good
relationship and I am getting to know him and his wife of just under a year.
God can take something that satan meant for harm and turn it around and use it
to glorify His name as well as, giving that baby a good life. On the flip side
of things, I had an abortion after my drug addicted husband decided that drugs
were more important than our family- we split up because I wasn’t going to
raise my two children in that kind of environment and I also found that he had
gotten another woman pregnant- so when I found out that I was going to have
another baby with this person that was still my husband, I got angry put God in
the back seat and told him since I was going to be a single parent and was
trying my best to support my two kids that I was not going to have another baby
to take care of by myself. So I did it and afterwards realized that I had taken
an innocent life and that I didn’t deserve to live but my gracious Heavenly
Father forgave me of my sin(because taking an innocent human life is a sin) and
he brought me back from the brink of suicide. I still think on my children, who
are now grown and the little brother or sister that they would have had and I
know that he or she is in heaven with my Lord and I’ll have the chance someday
to see that child. It not just that simple Michelle to have an abortion and get
back to business as usual it rips u up inside down to ur very soul and thank
God he’s there to pick up the pieces otherwise I know I wouldn’t be here right
now telling u this. When ur thinkiing about having an abortion it’s not one
life at stake, it’s two because you’ll never be the same again if you don’t
have Jesus to forgive and help make it right. To many women in this world
resort to suicide because they can’t handle what they’ve done. I thank Jesus
everyday that He died on the cross for my sins and thru His shed blood He
washed away my sins and has given me another chance. He’s made my life new
again. I’m truly sorry u feel the way u do, but u don’t have to. I believe that
God takes abortion personally because He loves each and every one of us.”

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
