Ending Abortion: Why Sex and Dating Need to be Part of the Conversation

It’s the 4^th of July and wicked hot here in NH. 92 degrees at 10:30 am! As I ponder on what to do today, I felt this was a good time to sit at my computer, in front of a fan and share some thoughts on the sanctity of life and our so called “freedom” in this current American culture.

I follow the organization Women Speak for Themselves on Facebook. I encourage you to go tot their website and Facebook page and follow this organization.

Our members speak for themselves in local papers, on social media, among their friends, and within their communities. The results? Several successful campaigns disrupting or changing a false media narrative about women’s freedom and happiness.

This organization shares a wealth of information on the root problems women face in our society around the issues of dating, marriage, women’s health, birth control and abortion. This brings to light the underlying issues that contribute to abortion. It is important for everyone to be informed about these issues, because the state of on demand abortion needs to begin with a cultural shift. One that values women, marriage and families.

I want to share an excerpt from a recent Facebook post from:

No matter what decision any politician or Supreme Court Justice makes, we will never end the cycle of abortion unless women reconnect sex with marriage and children in our culture.
Even if abortion is illegal at the federal level (which we hope it will be), women will continue to suffer high rates of crisis pregnancy unless the sex and dating environment changes.
Sex, dating, and lack of commitment or support from their baby’s father play into a woman’s likelihood to face unplanned pregnancy and their decision to choose abortion.
Women can choose to avoid putting themselves and their children at risk by saving sex for loving commitment in marriage. And they will be so much happier for it!

A must read:

WSFT has published an E-Book, Ending Abortion: Why Sex and Dating Need to be Part of the Conversation. /Women Speak for Themselves http://womenspeakforthemselves.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Ending-Abortion.pdf

I know that my pro-life brothers and sisters want to help end abortion but often don’t know what to do. Some spend time in front of abortion clinics in prayer and are ready to support those victims. These folks are heroic and selfless with the time they spend on this mission. Others are not available to do this but want to do something. Supporting crisis pregnancy centers with baby items and money is one easy way to support the effort to save babies and nurture at risk families. It is important for everyone to understand why women end up in crisis pregnancies. In addition to this information women need to know who they are in the eyes of our God. If they knew how much God loves them and the plans God has for them, they might be empowered to follow Gods way instead of the way of the world.

Psalm 139

13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
    How vast is the sum of them!

Jeremiah 1:5

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

God Bless
