The baby is innocent. If you abort it then you are on the same level with boko haram.

Abortion is either right or wrong, there is no such thing as "in this instance". Dont kill is dont kill, it's not okay to kill just because you were raped or because a child's father is boko haram or bla bla bla. Abi is it the pregnancy that is responsible for your rape?

You are a selfish being

Well, in my own opinion, it will be better these bastard pregnancies are flushed out. These ladies are not ready for them in the first place. Let's not forget too that militancy, insurgency run in the blood. Enough of Boko guys o. My 20 cents anyways.

islamically it is right in as much as it is still at the formative stage
Re: Is Abortion Right In This Instance? by Positiveminds(m): 5:17pm On May 06, 2015
This is a very delicate question, and an answer to this is pretty difficult.

However, I think some factors should be considered here. How old is the pregnancy? Is the pregnant girl remedy to stand the psychological implications of carrying the baby of a rapist? Who would bear the burden of the unborn child, when the child is eventually delivered? What is the religious view of the pregnant lady? These and many more questions would have to come to bear on the decision to abort or have the baby.

For me, the answer is this: let each pregnant girl follow her heart!

Any of them that's not pregnant needs to go for examination too
It's a source of utmost concern
Re: Is Abortion Right In This Instance? by hansad: 5:19pm On May 06, 2015
How can anybody ask for abortion of BH pregnancy while the person to lead Nigeria from May 29, 2015 advocated exactly what BH said it was fighting for - sharia criminal laws that include stoning women to death for adultery, chopping off hands of petty thieves, disallowing women to go out unaccompanied by a man, etc.?

Above all, 12 northern states beginning 2000 adopted use of sharia criminal laws - and have not renounced them up till today.

Get this straight, there is no justification for abortion. Life starts from conception thus abortion is also killing and mind u these unborn babies are innocent.

214 of the girls rescued from Boko Haram
have been confirmed pregnant. (not that I'm
surprised anyway). My question is this,
considering the psychological consequence of this,
both long and short term, can abortion be justified
in this instance??
Christians and Muslims, your view

with this i will go with pastor Chris saying that "mas.tur.ba-tion is not a sin but what leads to it is d sin".

so in this case, abortion is not a sin!!!!!!!!!

abortion shouldn't be an
option except the pregnancy has complications
against the life that can produce another.

Easy to say that when you are not the one carrying the child of a rapist.

Sentiments apart, there is no scriptural justification for abortion; only emotional justification.

Unfortunately, we live in a world now that suffering for righteousness sake is now farfetched for many. People can go through physical pain for money, endure psychological stress for fame; but doing something painful but pleasing to God is now too great a demand.



Abortion is murder; pre-meditated murder. It is termination of a life and a destiny.

With God, there is no such thing as unwanted pregnancy. It may be unwanted for the

mother but not for God. Once a baby is conceived, he already has an identity and a destiny with God.

Jeremiah 1v5 - Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

From the moment we are conceived in the womb, God already knows us and has ordained a calling for our lives. Meaning every baby in the womb already has an identity and a destiny before God. To abort it is not just to terminate a life but also to truncate an ordained destiny.

Luke 1v15 -For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, EVEN FROM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB.

The Holy Spirit does not fill things or objects, the Holy Spirit fills people and persons. If the Holy Spirit could fill a baby in the womb, it means a baby in the womb is already a person before God, not a thing.

To abort a baby in the womb is tantamount to killing a person. You might as well deliver the baby first and strangle it to death. It's the same thing before God.

If the mother doesn't want the baby because of the circumstance of his conception; I believe that there are some religious bodies that are into child care charities that can take care of the baby. There are also motherless babies homes funded by secular NGOs that can take up the responsibility. Not to talk of countless childless couples who would not mind adopting the babies.

All these are if the mother's say they don't want the babies. And I'm sure some of them may even change their minds when they deliver.

There have been instances where a pregnant woman claimed a pregnancy is unwanted and will give him up for adoption, only to change her mind after delivering the baby, as a fountain of love she never knew she had or was capable of gushed out towards the baby. And was willing to do anything for that baby afterwards, not minding the circumstances of his conception.

And there were other cases where the child was even given up for adoption; only for the mother to start longing and pinning for the baby months or years later.

Abortion should not even be an option much less a last option. If we really know the power of God; and how capable He is of healing our physical, emotional and psychological pains; we will realise that abortion need not be an option at all; it is an error of decision.

That's why the bible says; Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. -Matthew 22v29

Saying children of rape don't deserve to live is an emotional rant, not a scriptural or godly opinion. I know its not easy, but nobody ever said obeying God is. Christianity is about obedience not convenience.

Shalom.

Your post was so wonderful j had to make a comment. God bless you.

Even though I am still undecided as to if the girls should really abort or not (many factors jnvolved), your post really made me know you are a man of knowledge.

Re: Is Abortion Right In This Instance? by frank317: 5:30pm On May 06, 2015
All I see here is the men in the house ate clamouring for abortion while the ladies think an option should be given to the victims.

Hmmm men can be selfish, holding unto religion when it does not affect them.

Is anybody really thinking of what these women are going through? The stigma and the post traumatic stress?

Me think the choice is strictly that of the traumatized mothers to make. I want to believe some would desire to have the child to look forward to a better future while some mothers would not even live long at the thought of the seed in her womb.

No pastor or government should decide for them. If God really wantvthe babies to be alive then he should have stopped the mothers from facing the whole terrible ordeal and allowed them to have their babies the way he (God) deems fit.
