Hello dear readers. Hope you all voted? Sorry, I couldn’t put up a post earlier, procrastination issues. The craziness over this election issues eh? A lot of people have been close to their radios this period and many easterners have sullen faces but as for me, I say let’s God will be done.
This week, I decided to do a series that is about answering
questions that bother youths, teenagers and adults alike. Questions I’ve come
across around the internet, blogs, teachings, some of which have not been
answered or answered well and I’m sorry for not posting on Monday, will really
have to stop doing that.
First question: is abortion justifiable in a case of rape?
This is a tough one, when I came across this question as a
comment on a page, I had to pause before answering. A lot were saying yes of
course, some were against it. Saying that it is killing and killing is not
justifiable. I tried to put myself in the position of the one who asked.
There’s been a rape probably while you are in school, say medical school, you
have to read and concentrate and then a baby follows, what would you do? The pregnancy
reminds the person of the rape every day, something she would love to forget
but does abortion make it better? Rape no doubt is traumatic. Killing a human
being on top of the rape issue however, doesn’t make it better. Something could
go wrong in the abortion process. Abortion would only add to the trauma.
There’s
a saying that two wrongs don’t make a right. The unfairness of the situation
doesn’t make abortion better. Biblically, there is no place supporting or
against abortion after rape, the two ladies raped in the bible didn’t get
pregnant or rather it wasn’t shown to us that they got pregnant and there was
an abortion. But God is not an author of confusion, He has asked us to leave
our battles for Him to fight for us. There’s no place He encourages us to do
evil to better another evil. He is against rape and equally against taking a
life. It might be hard to bear but abortion is never the solution.
Prov: 3 v
21-24, the bible tells us that sound judgment and discernment is life for us
and makes sleep sweet when we lie to sleep. And God is the author of sound judgment.
I don’t know the best solution so the best is to surrender to God completely to
guide you and tell you what to do, help you make sound judgment should you find
yourself in such situation though we never pray for such. But whoever out
there, going through such, abortion is never the solution. Lean on your maker to
avoid making regrettable decisions. Remember that all things worketh together
for good to them that love God, it may be so hard to believe at that moment but
trusting He who sees the End before it comes can never be a wrong choice, even
basic human reasoning knows that.
P.s Doctors advice: the hospital is the first place a rape
victim should go to.
