And can we ever find it in our hearts to forgive them?
It is the Babies’ Fault, Punish Them, Abort
Them!
From the very moment of fertilization/conception the unborn
human being, the baby, seems to have no regard for the life of their mother or
father. How inconsiderate of the baby to ignore the fact that their parents were
too ignorant, too young, too poor, too ill-equipped, or too immature to provide
even for themselves, let alone for a child. Afterall a child requires the full
love and attention of loving, mature, moral, adult parents. The baby should
have acted more responsibly and waited until the parents were ready, better
prepared for parenthood before attempting enter the world.
Some folks contend that we cannot just kill the baby. You
think? Indeed, can we ever forgive the baby? How, might you ask? Give the baby
a reprieve, a much lighter sentence, than death? Maybe require that the baby be
given the opportunity to be placed with a loving, maybe even an infertile, couple
for adoption.
Is There a Better Solution?
In any case let’s warn, educate, and counsel young or older
couples not to let emotions, irrationality, and irresponsibility rule the day
and control their actions and lives. There are many ways to prevent unwanted
pregnancy, of which monogamous marriage and natural birth control are God’s
design and the responsible course of action. Abstaining (what?) from sexual
intercourse IS the best practice prior to marriage. It prevents the baby from “ruining
your life” as he or she is so intent and fond of doing.
Let Love Be the Ultimate Guide!
Yes, reason, logic, responsibility, unselfishness,
true-caring love should guide couples through this wonderful God-given life.
