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.
I agree. This is basically a question of why does God allow certain things to happen to people, if he loves us all. There is no simple answer to this, and all I can say is that God allows nature to take its course, knowing that in the end things will be made right.
So sorry for your loss, btw.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
