With the US election on the horizon I figured it would be nice to have a place for CIVIL political discord. That being said feel free to drag your third world non-american politics into the mix as well
Wasn't Biden refused communion from the Catholic church due to his stance on abortion? Not sure how being a Christian and supporting abortion goes together.
I am legitimately curious though. Have the Christians you know explained how they view abortion fits in with their religion? Where I'm from and the surrounding states, I've honestly never met a pro-choice Christian.
I could never be ok with it myself.
1. I have kids and I could never imagine being without them.
2. I was adopted myself and I'm very thankful my biological mother didn't have me aborted.
I don't get why people just don't choose adoption as an alternative to abortion.
I just could never do it. I don't want to live with the guilt of murder on my hands. I think adoption is a better option than abortion. If pregnant by rape or incest, why not turn that into something positive and give that child up to a loving family that desperately wants a child? Why punish a pure and innocent life? If it's just getting pregnant from screwing around, maybe the better option is for women to find birth control that works, tubal ligation surgery if they never want kids, or just keep their legs closed.
I see no need to tell them unless they ask. Even then I would wait until old enough for them to learn the circumstances. I would let them know that even though their biological mother went through something horrific, she knew it wasn't their fault and they should have a chance at a happy life.
