Do you support a woman’s right for an abortion?
i often try to speak in the positive.
rather than say what i dont want, i feel the better morality is to search for what i do want. (this is a general thing - i cant say it works in all cases.)
for abortion, i hesitate to say someone shouldn't have one, how can i be qualified to speak for all cases and all people ??? more importantly, it leaves the most important question unanswered ... how do we want the world to be with respect to children, parenthood, families???
I think that a good loving warm family is one of the most beautiful things on earth.
Saying "no abortions" leaves the world a little short of that grand ideal.
Saying "all can have abortions" again, leaves half the important stuff untouched.
Neither side goes far enough. People seem to have picked a side, based on a bad question and decended into tribalism - whilst missing the greater target.
They no longer seem to care about the good - they seem to instead only care about their side winning.
its the question which is wrong. the question should be,
"how best we have children and raise them?"
Dont just tell someone they cant have an abortion and then leave them.

Create your ideal - keep that target in mind, dont lose sight of it, and strive.
Please note: this is a general answer, not commenting on anyone who may or may not have had an abortion. Im not a christian to judge anyone, or hurt people - im a christian to help anyone i can.
