Abortion; Sacrificing a life for your own good

A Short Story

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Together we can help save precious lives!

Love says, 'I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.' Abortion says, 'I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.'

I found this on Facebook (hence the 'SHARE') and thought it was worth posting on my blog. I have heard so many people say 'Abortion is bad!' and 'Your killing an innocent life', but I like how this doctor said neither of those. He did not offend the woman by telling her she was a murderer, at least not at first, instead he gave her a glimpse of what abortion really is and in a way that she would listen.

Something that I think is very important when it comes to teaching or trying to tell somebody something is how you say it. You can have two people with the same topic such as abortion in which one speaker would make the audience have a deaf ear because of accusations and a harshness of truth, versus someone who speaks out of love that they make people feel that they genuinely care about that person and are looking out for there best interest. Really the best speakers have a balance of the two; there not afraid to speak the truth, yet they speak it out of love. And sometimes the best sermons are the ones that make you squirm in your seat because of convictions. Even Jesus was harsh at times and made the Pharasees uncomfortable, but it was all out of love.

I think it is very important that we as Christians share our views and convictions to others out of love just as Jesus would.
