I have 3 children from 4 pregnancies. If I got pregnant again my fetus would have a significantly less amount of potential for survival that my first to pregnancies, and somewhat less than my fourth pregnancy. That's just considering the biological implications because I know you will spout on about free will if I start talking about how the potential was effected by my exhusband.
If god believes all lives to be equal then it makes no sense for him to allow pregnancy in a woman whose body cannot support a pregnancy. If he allows such a pregnancy then it seems that he doesn't value the life of the woman or the fetus as much as he does other lives. I mean...god is supposed to know you and love you before he creates you in your mothers womb, but if he really loved you'd he'd have found a safer womb to stick you in right?
Losty, I won't pretend to have the answer to everything and anything I say, please take it as my opinion and interpretation stemming from my worldview. I believe we live in a fallen world. I have experienced first hand the loss of a child as well (wife had two miscarriages). There are many things in this life that make us question, "why". My mother died when I was 8 years old. I watched her die with my own eyes. Why? There is much more to my personal story than just that, but we ALL experience things that make us ask why, and I will be honest and say we may never get an answer that will satisfy us. But, I also believe there is redemption from this life and hope beyond. However, I don't want to derail this discussion from it's OP.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
