In this life one very important thing we have is the right to CHOOSE. i am not saying abortion is right or wrong, what i am saying is that if i am ever placed in that situation or if somebody else is in such a situation, then let us kindly have the right to CHOOSE whatever the case, we need to tell ourselves some truths. until something happens to you it is very easy to stand by the corner and pass judgements about what is good or bad. it is the person that is wearing the shoe that feels the pinch.

We always claim that Jesus Christ is the resurrection, now let us prove him in this.

It's a topic that's extremely easy to pass quick judgemental comments about. It's wrong, it's murder, It's the consequence of a choice...e.t.c. But can we really generalize? First, I'll tell you that my stand is, no to abortion. I'll also silently mutter under my breath, that may I never have a reason to consider otherwise. Who no know, no know, it's who it touches that knows. I remember being faced with the dilema of helping someone decide about this some years back. She was raped! Rappist unknown. She was also young, immature, and not street wise (these were all good things, by the way), she came to me 3 months after...thoroughly confused. I thought it was an easy decision until she layed the story on me.Truth is, it isn't an easy decision. I could do an analysis on the factors you could consider...maybe when Dipo posts his continuation. That was when I learnt a lot of things, about threatening abortion, about aborting before knowledge of conception, about washing out the baby, about progesterone, about foetal abnormalies, about all sorts. I spoke with doctors, I read, I prayed, I thought. Which is a better memory? The thought of a child, and maybe a family destroyed, or the constant reminder of the "event". After that event, i came to one conclusion. Pray that you are free of evil, seek for knowledge/counsel quickly (you never need to know you are pregnant), Abortion never works. If it's self inflicted live with it, you'll be glad you did...and don't kill your good ideas as well, God does not bring to the point of labour without delivering. If you are in pain in the course of your vision, something is about to happen!!! Abortion!!!

But my opinion, better to live being a parent than with a memory you would rather not live with. Encourage her to do the right thing.

This is a basic principle. Before the action, your heart pounds, you either weigh the pleasure and trivialize the consequence or the converse. This could be said about both the pre-pregnancy stage and the this pre-abortion stage. My rhetorical question is, having made the first choice and faced the consequence, would she be willing to make a second choice in the same direction and live with the impending consequence? We are often forced to make decisions withing the boundaries of the present while we neglect the futuristic implicatiions of our present decisions. My advice in as much as i understand the pains of bearing an untimely child (not an unwanted child) is that the lady should try to forecast and see what the future holds with and without the child and make her choice.That way, she will be held responsible for her choice. lastly, deep in our hearts, we all know the truth and when we apply it...it sets us free.

Abortion is a very serious issue, especially now in Nigeria with all the talk on the Abortion bill being considered. The fact is that in every abortion, one life is lost and one woman is wounded.Abortion is not the end of a would be life, it is the termination of an already existing human being as his/her heart begins beating btw 18 and 25 days of concepton which is mostly likely before the mother even knows she's pregnant. No matter the situation leading to pregnancy, we must never forget that the child is not responsible for his conception nor is he guilty of any crime. He/her has as much rights to life as any of us, so the mother should not deny the child of his/her rights. Abortion stops a beating heart and great personality to be might just be the aborted. Most importantly, we must not try to play God, cos thats what we do when we decide who lives and who dies in abortion. If God brings one to it, he'll definitely bring one through it. Have a nice day.
