Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

"The blessing of abortion"

I call it complete selfishness…

read Rev. Kathrine Ragsdale words here:

"Let's be very clear about this: when a
woman finds herself pregnant due to violence and chooses an abortion,
it is the violence that is the tragedy; the abortion is a blessing.

When
a woman finds that the fetus she is carrying has anomalies incompatible
with life, that it will not live and that she requires an abortion —
often a late-term abortion — to protect her life, her health, or her
fertility, it is the shattering of her hopes and dreams for that
pregnancy that is the tragedy; the abortion is a blessing.

When
a woman wants a child but can't afford one because she hasn't the
education necessary for a sustainable job, or access to health care, or
day care, or adequate food, it is the abysmal priorities of our nation,
the lack of social supports, the absence of justice that are the
tragedies; the abortion is a blessing.

And
when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful
relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish
to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion — there
is not a tragedy in sight — only blessing. The ability to enjoy
God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education,
life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply
blessing."
