The Hour Before An Abortion

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably one of the following right now: a glad mother; an anxious mother; the father; or friend / family of the mother. To The Glad Mother  If you’re glad to get an abortion today, why are you glad? For you know that the child inside you is a living baby, whose body is being formed even as you read this. You also know that your baby isn’t guilty of committing wrong against you. You’re killing your child, who hasn’t sinned against you. Yet God hates “hands that shed innocent blood.” God commands: “you shall not murder.” God punishes murderers forever in “the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.” Are you glad that your actions are hated by God today? Keeping God as your enemy is not worth killing your child, no matter the reason—whether it’s mere convenience, avoiding responsibility for your decisions, or your twisted desire to ‘play God’ over the life of your child. We urge you to halt your cruel intentions, leave this building, and speak to the Christians outside. They can tell you how Jesus Christ can rescue you from committing murder and give you grace to live a joyful life of praise to God. They also have practical resources to help you. To The Anxious Mother  If you’re nervous or afraid of having an abortion today—your feelings are a sign that, by God’s grace, your conscience isn’t completely destroyed. The reason you’re uneasy is because you know that there’s a living baby inside you, and you know that abortion is taking the life of your precious child. Perhaps you’re here today because someone else is pressuring you to do evil. Maybe you’re terrified of motherhood, or hopeless about your child’s potential future. Friend, God is “a mighty one who will save.” It might be hard to believe, but Jesus Christ can rescue you from feeling like a slave to abortion.  We urge you to leave this building and speak to the Christians outside. They will tell you how Jesus Christ can give you true hope for you and the future of your child—so that both of you can live as children of God. They also have practical resources to help you. To The Father (or Family/ Friend of the Mother)If you’re the father (or family/friend of the mother), know that if you’re not trying to prevent her from taking her child’s life, then you too are sinning. For Jesus says: “I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.” We urge you to leave this building with the mother, and speak to the Christians outside. They can tell you how Jesus Christ can save all three of you from sin and God’s wrath, and give all three of you everlasting peace as disciples of Jesus. They also have practical resources to help you all. If the mother still gets an abortion, please take the card, “The Days After An Abortion” to help her process post-abortion emotions.
