the flippant snowboarder militant uncompassinate antiabortionist

Written about me by a "prophet" from an apostate group I was shortly meeting with and left by the urging of the Holy Spirit.



It's interesting that of the 6 women In my life who've had abortion(s), 5 of them were due to rape and/or physical and sexual abuse. There is one who had 3 or 4, very flippantly when she was young because as she puts it, she wanted to "go snowboarding." She has since found Jesus. Though she and I disagree on many issues, I love her and respect her. I believe she loves Jesus with passion. She is intelligent, well-read, well-studied, very knowledgeable about the Bible, and after living so many years as a "liberal," now, is deeply rooted in a very conservative belief system. Interestingly, of all these women, she is by far the most militantly and vocally anti-abortion, and, sadly, the most shaming of all. The others, who I know have deeply struggled with their decisions, both at the time of making them and now, are far more graceful and gentle with those who find themselves in positions that are not always black and white.


My response:


Those odds in your friend circle are astronomical. Did you know that the average abortions since Roe vs. Wade is well over a million per year? And, of the roughly 58 million abortions, statistics show that the percentage of women who are victims of rape is less than half of one percent? In Florida (2015), a state that anonymously records reasons for abortion, 92% of women having abortions cited the reason as "elective", the other big contender was 6% for economic reasons. Again, rape was less than 1%, so again bravo; your friend circle is some type of statistical anomaly.....or maybe I'm just more honest about my own sins than the people you hang with as your ONLY friend who flippantly ended a human life? It is kind of a strange thing to fire up facebook and see someone telling your story but embellishing the number of abortions you've had from one to three or four and then using you as an example of a person who is an uncompassionate, shaming, and militant antiabortionist. And I understand the confusion, maybe because in my story, where I came from, most of my friends and family members had abortions, and yes a few of them more than four. I grew up in a "liberal"culture that hated "religious oppressive republican Christians" (even though i didn't know any) with their rules and values about how life is sacred. We sort of hated them and thought we knew better. We believed the lie that abortion was just a medical procedure removing a "clump of cells", not a life. And of course life only has value if we decide it does right? God Shmod. I decided long ago to quit playing victim, here's what I learned about hurting people, they hurt other people. I used to reflect on my life, my broken family, my own instances of sexual abuse and use that as an excuse for my own bad behavior. When God allowed me to see the story behind one of my own molesters, that he himself was hurting and broken because someone else had hurt him, and he hurt others, the cycle went on and I was part of it. Is it possible a woman (less than half of one percent) reported having an abortion due to rape is hurting the child because she has been hurt? Why is the child paying for the sins of the father, especially when adoption is available? Jesus helped me break the chain reaction of harm , no more excuses for my sin. He pricked my conscience as a baby christian about the sanctity of life (it took Him two full years), He humbled me for my own actions and called ME to repentance, not to victim hood, not to justify my sins. Jesus is a victor and in Him, so I am I. So as much as I have rights to claim victim status as the world sees it, I don't anymore...and that was a life changer for me. He showed me how valuable life is, even for unwanted children in the womb. And now, I work to prick the conscience of the world who calls human life "clumps of cells" and decides its okay for people to harm their own children .....even if you're the .05% who was harmed by another person. You know what I love about Christ? the beauty He creates from the most horrendous of situations. Thank you for calling me a militant antiabortionist. When people talk to me on the fence about their pregnancy because abortion is a legal option and they're facing some giant in front of them; finances, rape, just scared they cant handle a child, I encourage them that the God who made the universe and everything in it, He's bigger than their situation no matter how enormous and terrifying the situation is, God can redeem it., He's good, He can make the most beautiful life for you even though it seems impossible and everything in you is saying to just abort and go on. Trust Him, don't harm your baby, Trust Him and see what He can do. You speak of compassion, but for some reason, the compassion ends when it comes to the life of the child who's literal life is on the line. You didn't have to correct the embellished parts of my story because someone called you out on it, you seem to operate on false heart wrenching fiction anyways, its how you keep the narrative to keep abortion legal. Whatever gets you a lot of hearts and Facebook likes. I'm shooting for eternal treasures and mercy, Gods Word tells me for this I'll be hated, and I'm okay with that, I please an audience of ONE. And remember it doesn't have to be 100% grace OR 100% Truth. In Gods economy, you can have 100% of both. So try truth in there with that grace and be blessed!!!
