Abortion is a holocaust of untold proportions, the damage it does to families and marriages every year is beyond measure. In this post I think Biltrix managed to transcend the biological and legalistic issues and get straight to the heart of the matter. There is a 5 minute video here, and it had me teared up, but not why you might think (No Gore, dead fetuses, religious ranting, or other assaults of that type – just one womans short story. Simple, to the heart of the matter, and well made). It was the callous indifference of the husband and anguish of the wife that really touched my heart. To the mother it was a child, to the father an inconvenience. What have we come to that a human should even think like that? Please give it a read and watch the video. It opens with some mind numbing but well documented and shocking statistics on Abortion you probably never knew. Like These:
A survey of post-abortive women found that:
- 28% attempted suicide
- 31% experienced suicidal feelings
- 60% commented that the decision to abort made their lives worse
- 94% regretted the decision to abort
Tell me how you can love a woman, and do this to her? Not about her rights, not about laws or legalities – just basic human decency and compassion. Tell me that you think it’s OK to do this to a woman or even encourage her to do it to herself. Now imagine trying to do it to your wife! Whatever you do to her, you also do to yourself – you are one flesh! After watching the video, I promise you will have a new perspective on abortion.
Please pass this on, especially if you know of someone considering an abortion.

That video almost brought a tear to my eye. It tells 1 story out of many Colin. I know first hand how hurtful this can be. It was worse for Dawn. We were forced. I think when doing these survey’s it can often be misleading. How many were asked? Where where they asked? BUT..I do know many who have aborted and regret it EVERY DAY. But at the moments of Aborting and deciding to abort, the decision was the correct one for them in their life at that point.
It is like having a child. Some couples have a child, love that child with all conditions applied but it makes them poor. Does that mean they were wrong? No, it was the correct decision at the time. I understand where you are going here my friend and TRULY know the pain. But in the moment, in the zone, when you decide to abort, it is right. Only after does the hurt come. But even though there is hurt, many know it was still the right decision to take. Great blog mate. Reblogging this one. Shaun

Shaun,
Thank you! I think this video illustrates the right approach to the abortion issue.

I think it does also, it sends people back to the “decision” and this is where hurt comes. But as I think you will agree, many make the decision for “Whatever reason” at the time.
The video shows a happily married couple and the woman hating herself. I think (guessing) this would be a VERY low % of abortion stories…
Cheers

I think it shows how one person reacts to it, maybe..Colin there is no right or wrong… I do understand where you are coming from. Look above someone agreed with me. Because I live in the REAL WORLD Colin, not a made up one where what we want is not what we get… I am just saying.. Don’t be offended… But Gay and Abortions WILL NEVER STOP…Accept..don’t like it mate.. Accept and love your God..allow people to live and if they go to hell..what you lost 😀

Reblogged this on Looking for reasoning to a complicated world and commented:
The issue of abortion by my good friend Colin here. Here is the video to go with the blog. It is disturbing. The issue of abortion will be different just because of life. No religion issues here, just life, reasons an living. Many abort and then cry, but the decision was the right one for them at the time. You can’t go back and change it. But woman STILL abort for reasons that have meaning to them now. This is a debate nobody will ever get to the bottom of or understand. I respect ANY Woman’s right to abort. I know a girl who was raped and aborted. It is a personal choice by a woman. Or a couple who are married or not. I think this debate is impossible because it is SO hard to understand it. It is not as straight forward as “YOU KILLED A BABY” Here in Scotland Abortion is lower than the USA. I think for financial reasons? I don’t know. Her is the video to go with Colin’s good blog here

I think this is a very powerful video giving pause to a woman who sees it. I am totally pro-life. I think that adoption is a total alternative. That precious life could change the whole world or maybe just the lives of a sad barren family and though guilt of giving up the baby may raise its ugly head, there is no guilt because of ending a existence before it has a chance to breathe his/her first breath.

Annetbell,
I agree. I am not prone to reblogging unless I am moved to the core of my being. I see all to often the push to end abortion becoming a struggle over doctrine, dogma, rights, and rationality. This video transcends that and shows that there is a human side of this more powerful than all those things. Of all the emotions we feel – I have come to believe that regret is the most powerful. This video touched my heart and soul, and I hope you share it so it can touch others. It is through this approach that hearts and minds will be changed.
