They were all active, public street preachers who explained the law explicitly and completely. I haven't heard a Lutheran pastor do that in the last 60 years!! Jehovah's word is murder, the unauthorized separation of the body from its living soul, not abortion. Carl G.

Because of the damage that was done, I am an only child. When I became pregnant, my husband and I also were not married. I was very strongly encouraged to abort. This by the very mother who took me to church and Sunday school every week, who suffered extreme guilt over what she had chosen. I chose life for our daughter. Shortly after she was born, and my husband and I got married, my father became ill with cancer. He suffered from cancer and strokes for two years before he died. Durring those two years my mom lived for the times she could spend holding our daugher. She later told me that if it hadn't been for our daughter she didn't know how she could have made it through. <br />Our daughter was a miracle. I had been told 8 years prior to my pregnancy that I couldn't have children. I truely believe she is a gift from God, in His time, and in His wisdom.Karen Carternoreply@blogger.com
