It is likely that the baby would also die in these cases. What would be the use in dying with the child?
I see it from your perspective and I'd have once possibly said the same. However, again what you're talking about is still murder.
Yes it is. I have no way to reconcile my position with this truth. An example of my position would be if a child is drowning and the mother knew that jumping in the water would almost surely result in both their deaths, would her choice to stay on shore be considered a sin? Not the best analogy, I know.
Even if the "murder" is done in the hopes of saving one life. It is still the deliberate act of killing another. Dying is not a sin. Killing another is. Only God has the right to take life!
Unless He tells one of His followers to do it.
I'm very glad to hear that abortion is nearly impossible to get. Praise God! I'm not pro murder of a child at any stage of their life for whatever reason.
I am happy for the restrictions on abortion also. I am unhappy that there aren't more help organizations in those states, like there are in my state.
I think it is good to encourage mothers to bring up and take care of their own children and to try and discourage them from giving them up if possible.
It is very situational. My niece couldn't have handled a child very well and the couple that she gave him up to were very happy. A blessing all round I think.
Yes, reality is that people fall out of weakness/temptation or rebel. But God has given us the grace and means to rise above such if we choose to follow Him.
Contraception is the deliberate frustration/interruption of the natural consequence of conception. S*x therefore is in isolation with both partners deliberating closing off the outcome/purpose artifically. God created the sexual act to be shared in the sacred bonds of marriage and to allow for the possibility of new life to come from it.
Song of Solomon shows that the sexual act is more than just for creating life. If that was all it was for, then my wife and I should not have sex since she can no longer become pregnant. I don't think God is restricting us in that manner.
Abstainance isn't a dirty word. Nor is this unrealistic, but again people can choose to disregard if they wish.
It is neither a dirty word nor unrealistic, I agree. It should be the centerpiece of any sex education curriculum but not the only piece.
Despite the fact that God considers any sin to be as bad as another, we still think that murder is worse than fornication. The best way to minimize abortion is to prevent pregnancy as much as possible.
You judge my opinion as being unchristian. Perhaps you would like to take a quote from the bible and show me where I'm erring in this belief? So I'll understand where I've gone wrong in regards to God's purpose for sex.
I disagree with your position with regards to birth control. I am not saying your opinion is unChristian.
What verses in the Bible support your position that people should never use birth control?
What verses in the Bible say that the only reason for sex is to make babies?
