Remember, the short term fix of abortion has long term consequences for individuals and nations. The Supreme Court ruling will have far reaching effects. The doctor could allow the child to die if the parents so chose and save a lot of misery and suffering. Infanticide and euthanasia have a strong following because many people do not have a biblical view of life. Emotional cries of those favouring open abortion laws often point to the instances of possible deformed children, the unwanted and battered children in our society, the possibilities of rape and incest, or the economic strain of extra children.
Statistics show that in the vast majority of cases abortion is a quick method of birth control.
There is no question, all children should be wanted. The sad commentary on our moral standards, however, is that we will allow the worth of a child's life to be decided by the emotional acceptance of the parents. As Christians, we have a perspective that the Grace of God is able to triumph over the forces of evil that often bring tragic circumstances to bear on our lives. God is faithful. If we conduct ourselves as God commanded us and live according to His law, then He is responsible for the outcome and of and seeing that His children are taken care of.
