Thank you very much for your heartfelt, thorough explanation of the truth regarding how we as Lutherans and everyone need to view abortion. I recently attended a bioethics webinar where I heard a Pro Choice professor and a reproductive rights lawyer/activist present the need for abortion. It was difficult to hear as they used the term incompatible with life to justify the need for an abortion of children they described as having anomalies. That would describe all of us as no one is perfect in various degrees. God does not create life with the intention of it being incompatible with life and worthy to be killed. Even some Lutherans have lost perspective on creation as explained in Psalm 139 where we read those Gospel-motivating words that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. I appreciate your explanation of how important it is to allow that child to be born complete rather than torn apart during an abortion. I have heard a mother describe how important it was to hold her child even though it lived just a few hours. If someone intentionally has an abortion there will be personal suffering and guilt even though the intention was to remove the immediate problem of an unwanted pregnancy. I pray many will continue to read and share your article for others to see. May God show mercy in changing the hearts of those who have bought into the lies being promoted that abortion is a right, as those lies are what truly are incomparable with God’s love For Life.
