Abortion: When Is It Not A Sin?


Recommended Posts

Just a hypothetical question, just. If someone just so happened to be carrying the son of the devil set to bring all manner of evil to the world to the next level, would abortion still be a sin?

yes. because of thou shall not k*ll. will the canon law be applicable? i dont know. but are we humans wanting to play like 007? yes.

but Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto Me,for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

 

 

Whatever happens to children, God has them "covered". Spiritually speaking.

 

So I think Christian women (we are talking about "sin" here, so it's not far-off from being a religious subject)

should always choose to continue the pregnancy even if the outcome/future is bleak for the baby. Because

whatever happens to them in this world, God will give them justice in the afterlife.

 

Babies are like, "swimming in milk and chocolates in heaven", no exceptions. They are special in the eyes of God.

We should not sin thinking that we are choosing a "better fate" for them, because their (spiritual) fate is infinitely

more secure than you/ourselves. They are guaranteed salvation

 

- All of these (I think) only applies to Christian women

Syet, parang ang hirap isipin na hindi kasalanan ang pagpatay ng sanggol sa sinapupunan kahit gaano pa kahalaga ang rason mo eh.

 

Siguro hindi lang siya malaking kasalanan kung may kumplikasyon ang panganganak (o kahit hindi panganganak basta kumplikasyon) ng isang ina at mapupunta tayo sa sitwasyon na isa lang ang maililigtas ng doktor at kailangan nating mamili kung yung bata o yung ina ba ang bubuhayin.

abortion becomes a sin if its not reasonable. then again thats the grey area, how to define reasonable?

 

given an example: on your 3rd month of pregnancy, you did the OSCAR test, and results came that there is a high risk of your child having a down syndrome. Comes 4th month of pregnancy, you did another OSCAR test, and the risk is still high of your baby having a down syndrome. what are you going to do? most doctors will suggest termination.

 

if we will think about it, its bad to abort the baby. so we tend to:

 

pray

ask for miracles that your baby becomes normal

that everything is going to be good

and yes, we have faith so its going to be alright

 

but also think of the other side if you dont abort:

baby can have down syndrome, and if baby has it, how much can you sustain for yourself and your partner? comes the more difficult part, how much can your baby be sustained? we all grow old, we will all perish, what happens to your kid having a down syndrome and then you're gone? sustaining means not only prayers, and faith, it has actions too like money and extra hard work not only for the parents and family but also for the baby.

 

you may think that i'm choosing the easy way out (maybe?), i know that I myself can do this, i can take care of my kid having a down syndrome, my partner can do the same, she will and can take care of our kid, but what kills me is the after effect when me and my partner are both gone. what are the chances that he will be taken care of? that people will not hurt the baby/kid? and you know theres nothing you can do.

 

some people say, at least i gave the baby a chance, maybe?! but did i gave the baby a good chance? or did i just make the baby suffer more? socially, mentally and spiritually the baby is challenged everyday and there is no way of keeping it off.

 

so, abortion is it a sin? absolutely YES. but sometimes, we have to make the bad and worst decision, and we will regret it for the rest of our lives, but at least it affects only one or two adults. coz in reality, its not the parents alone to affect the baby.

I truly believe abortion is a sin but who owns the sin? Should the girl be the only guilty one in this situation?

 

Ex. A married man gets a teenage girl pregnant and left her immediately when he founds out. She out of fear and shame and without anyone to guide her decides to have an abortion.

Shouldn't the man be also guilty of this sin? even though he didn't know that she had an abortion?
