“Justified” murder is disturbingly popular in today’s culture. Since everyone is afraid of talking about it, I’m going to. Yes, us women should have the right to vote, the right to own property, equal rights in the workplace, the right to run for office, and so on, but no human should ever be given “the right” to legally murder an innocent life. Here are some unavoidable statistics. According to a survey taken in 2004, 74% of women said they had an abortion based on personal inconveniences. (would interfere with education, career, etc.) Most pro-abortionists argue “well what about women who are victims of incest and rape?” 1% of the terminated pregnancies were a result of rape and less than .5% of incest. [1] There are alternatives. Adoption, for one, is a great choice. If a woman doesn’t want to give up her child, but is unsure of how she’ll be able to support him/her, there are so many centers committed “to providing pregnancy tests and counseling… helping women obtain housing, maternity and baby clothes, baby equipment, pre- and post-natal medical care, legal assistance and financial support, information about adoption, and even advice on how a woman in school can continue her education.” [2] Do not be so ignorant and believe that it is a woman’s right to kill an innocent life. Abortion affects so many more than just the woman who chooses to have one. Do not conform to the self-centered mindset this world has become engrossed in. It is unhealthy. You can go ahead and say anything and everything should be allowed, but at the end of the day, we as humans beings have a duty to protect the lives of those who are unable to defend themselves. Not only am I concerned about unborn lives, but the lives of the mothers. Abortion is extremely emotionally traumatizing. “Approximately 60% of women who experience post-abortion sequelae report suicidal ideation, with 28% actually attempting suicide, of which half attempted suicide two or more times.” Several studies show numerous cases of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction (30-50%), child neglect or abuse, PTSD, increased smoking with correspondent negative health effects, divorce and chronic relationship problems, and repeat abortions occurring immediately or soon after an abortion. [3] Defend the unborn, but also keep in mind what’s best for women’s well-being. Choose life.

Kermit Gosnell was convicted on 3 murder charges of children from late-term abortions and Americans agree that his actions are worthy of punishment.

Wendy Davis argues that despite an unborn child’s ability to feel pain at 20 weeks, we should not stop the practice of killing them even at this age and her actions are worthy of praise?

Jesus did nothing to deserve punishment so that you could do nothing to deserve grace.

If you support abortion or are on the left side of any of the crap going down in regards to the pro abortion debate in Texas then please unfollow me immediately.

If simply regulating abortion to being illegal after the 20 week mark offends you then you’re a fool.

If you are pregnant for five months (approx 20 weeks) and only then decide you want an abortion, you need to rethink your life.

I swear I can feel an ulcer coming on thinking about all this.

I don’t want to regulate your vagina, I want to regulate your ability to kill your 20-week old baby that can feel pain. If you can’t tell the difference between these two concepts, then you’re part of the problem.

Pass it on.

Saying that regulating mass abortion is “regulating a woman’s vagina" is like saying that banning rape is “regulating a man’s penis".  It’s insane, and it misses the point. It’s not about your body parts. It’s about attacking the innocent victim. Defend the voiceless. Be pro-life.

In 1 Timothy 2:9-10, the apostle Paul writes “I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.” The Greek word translated “modesty” here is kosmios. Derived from kosmos (the universe), it signifies orderliness, self-control and appropriateness. It appears only twice in the New Testament, and interestingly, its second usage refers specifically to men (1 Timothy 3:2). In fact, nearly all of the Bible’s instructions regarding modest clothing refer not to sexuality, but rather materialism (Isaiah 3:16-23, 1 Timothy 2:9-12, 1 Peter 3:3). Writers in both the Old Testament and New Testament express grave concern when the people of God flaunt their wealth by buying expensive clothes and jewelry while many of their neighbors suffered in poverty. (Ironically, I’ve heard dozens of sermons about keeping my legs and my cleavage out of sight, but not one about ensuring my jewelry was not acquired through unjust or exploitive trade practices—which would be much more in keeping with biblical teachings on modesty.) And so biblical modesty isn’t about managing the sexual impulses of other people; it’s about cultivating humility, propriety and deference within ourselves.

The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman.
