Why is Abortion Never Okay?

"1. Abortion terminates the life of an unborn child. 2. God is the Creator of life which makes every life valuable (Psalm 139:13-16; Jeremiah 1:5). 3. God has commanded us not to take the life of another (Deuteronomy 5:17)"

[The text above is an excerpt from Secret Sin: When God's People Choose Abortion; Chapter 6, Chart 6:1, page 54]

These reasons may be obvious to those of us in the church. If we are trying to help others understand these reasons, then we should communicate God's perspective to them--in a loving, non-judgmental, Biblical way. Explain how God creates each and every life-- and that creation of life begins at conception. Discuss God's sovereignty-- and that we are not to say whether or not some lives are worth living. With prayer and God's guidance, we in the church can shed light on the truth that abortion is never okay. We will look at three more reasons "why" in the next newsletter.

We at In Our Midst Ministries are here to help churches and other pro-life ministries gain an understanding of the abortion-wounded person as well as to develop a ministry standard for these hurting people. We will bring our one-day training to you. Contact Therese at tboschman.iom(at sign)gmail.com for more information.

Blessings in Christ!
