But God chose what the world considers foolish to shame the wise. God chose what the world considers weak to shame the strong.

Ahhh . . . how sad. So many conceived just to be torn to shreds. If only such conceptions could be prevented!
Not ready for the possiblity of being parents? Then ask yourself if are you really ready for sexual intercourse. Abortion can be prevented simply by not having sexual intercourse especially outside of a loving marriage covenant.
And yet, the “tearing to shreds” can be prevented quite easily – just don’t do it.

(Denise) I have NOT done it!
However, I talked to a woman who was pregnant and said she “just wasn’t going to complete the pregnancy.” It seems to me that this is true of others as well. They were not going to carry to term. If the female won’t carry to term, then the unborn inside her is doomed. Thus, it is vital to prevent such conceptions!
humbling.
Denise, you are going about this all wrong. If people consider life disposable, then THAT is the problem!!

(Denise) The problem is that females become pregnant who aren’t willing to carry to term. Those pregnancies should be prevented. Pregnancies must be limited to those who are willing to carry to term and give birth. That would pretty much mean no demand for abortion.
AGAIN: Do we need sex segregation to prevent pregnancies from occurring under circumstances that aren’t promising?
Do we need less good and useful things in the world to prevent stealing?
It’s our selfish attitudes that need changing. It is humbling to consider our responsibility to care about the weak.
I have always loved this verse.
Shame the strong Lord with the torn bodies of the innocent!!
Hans – selfish has had a bad rap for decades. It’s okay to be selfish. I think the term to be used here is self-centeredness. Otherwise, I agree with your statement.
It always amazes me how people will come out against abortion and yet support contraception. It’s the SAME THING. The so-called “Plan B” contraceptive doesn’t prevent pregnancy, it prevents implantation. You still get pregnant, the baby just dies so quickly that it doesn’t seem like you were. My parents contracepted for ten years before I was born. My older siblings are just as dead due to contraception as they would be due to abortion.
