Pro-life vid of the day: The real bloodiest day in America
by Kelli
Stand to Reason discusses apologetics and issues in our society from a Christian perspective. On his February 17, 2015 podcast, STR founder Greg Koukl, who is an adoptive father, shared his thoughts on abortion and adoption. Greg shares something that those of us who have worked at pregnancy resource centers have personally experienced:
Many women would rather kill their child than give their child up for adoption…. Those of you who are working in this business know the girls that will say, “Oh no, I could never do that to my child!” (speaking of adoption) but would readily consider abortion.

I don’t think there’s enough resources out there for women. really. seriously. The same women who say that, seam to think their children will either be in supressive christian home which will constantly remind their child that they should be grateful since they were initially unwanted OR, that they will end up in some foster home style family where they will, again be treated like an ungrateful freeloader, or worse, molested daily. Yes. They are ‘flat out wrong’. But why do they think that?
Because, Planned Parenthood teaches teens in school abortion is responsible. So straight A students are winning when they make the grade here, and B & below students are further treated like underachievers if they disagree. Planned Parenthood does not belong in schools. But also, more importantly, look at what the RADIANCE FOUNDATION did upping the impression people have on adopted families, calling them ‘forever families :)’, getting the word out on the sweet life they have been given by both ‘birth mothers'(another term they helped popularize if not coin) and their forever families—not excluding the birth mothers, who are still held up as light beaeres and life bearers. Upping the respect we have for life bearers will help them to recognize themselves as heroes and they won’t have to constantly feel indebted to help center employees most of whom do get a salary, however, hard they work for it. Birth mothers don’t. Alot of times they are also allowed to think they will be at the mercy of strangers throughout the process. I think the movie, “gimmie shelter” shows something of that, but I think alot of them want to know they are respected just as much if they give birth and choose to parent as if they were to choose adoption. Both decisions are equally heroic, but of course, God has the child’s future in mind. He made that child, formed ‘it’ with intentions, and ‘let it go’. But when we destroy the moment of conception, we destroy His gift. That they have more power, more freedom, more choices, when they choose birth instead of “choice” they are choosing choices. Choices are for the girl that never has to choose. Choice is for the girl who doesn’t see the potential In states where women get to choose between open and closed adoption, the open adoption option has proven to be more of an extended family, where she is treated, not just as a mother to that child, but as a daughter to the family who adopted the child. So it is a very powerful position she has found herself in, with a family who sponsors her dreams as well as those of her child. You are always going to have obstacles to anything, but especially to aquiring gems. You are always going to have haters when your dreams get real, but thats a good thing, because when you get haters, it means you have something to resent, something to make others want what you have, and that can mean power=girl power. What I am saying is this. An arborist was talking about the beauty of the charry tree blossoms in D.C. and the challenge of nurturing them, and pruning them and cutting them back and what a pain in the butt that can be… but he was saying it’s also like a pregnant woman… no matter how mad she makes you, and infuriated, you just can only get so mad at her, because it’s a beautiful thing. A pregnant woman is priceless beauty and that’s a power that speaks to mens souls. You can’t fake it, you can’t buy it, but the reality is some women get to have the honor, the power, the anointing to be pregnant and to carry that sacred duty, which is also a cross. You don’t put that down in any way and overcome sorrow. You pick it up to overcome it, and you carry it, until have run the race to completion, you have become worthy of that power; the crown of victory. Yay! Girl Power!
And I was thinking about Rand Paul and how bally he was to stand up against debbie wasserman-s, and how those mean girls are like “women deserve birth control.” that’s like saying some women deserve a slap. So Rand should say “IF a woman WANTS birth CONTROL, she could have AACCESS.” The fact that’s its over relevant, makes it an obligation, which is should not be to women. Women should not ever, for one second, feel pressure from a man to do that. That should be taboo, for a man to push or even bring it up. Sorry, but that’s girl power. Right?
And listen… the priests and preachers should bring this up in the pulpits.
Ladies, its your right to not use birth control. If your man is having sex with you, he knows how babies are made, he’s party to children, and you need to reinforce your support group to mandate your right to the moment of conception with any man who chooses intercourse with you. If he doesn’t want to score, he should not kick the ball int he goal. Children are a sacred rite. They are a gift, they are not our toys to be excluded from the woman and men who concieve them nor the God who created them. That was a choice, and this is the choice; children. Birth control is just a euphemism it is not a guarantee, and any man who tells his woman to controcept should be chastized for it. It is her body. Her heart is being played with when a man asks that of her. Her heart should be treated as a neighbor to the womb in the temple of her soul.
If adam was the gardner of eden and eve was under his patronage, where was he when she ate the fruit? Man did not fall from grace until MAN ate the fruit, and not before that. It was his negligence, in large part, that led to her fall, and in all part to his own.
CityOfAngels: And I was thinking about Rand Paul and how bally he was to stand up against debbie wasserman-s, and how those mean girls are like “women deserve birth control.” that’s like saying some women deserve a slap.
I’d say it’s like saying that women (or men, for that matter) deserve healthcare. Not that it should necessarily be free.
So Rand should say “IF a woman WANTS birth CONTROL, she could have ACCESS.”
How about “she should have access”?
The fact that’s its over relevant, makes it an obligation, which is should not be to women.
I agree that women should not be forced, against their will.
Women should not ever, for one second, feel pressure from a man to do that. That should be taboo, for a man to push or even bring it up. Sorry, but that’s girl power. Right?
No, I think that goes way too far. There are two people, and it’s a two-way street. It should “be taboo for a man to even bring it up”? No way – by far, it’s best for both people to be in agreement, and to know what they other one wants. They need to talk about this stuff.
