A listener sent me the following story the day after I interacted with a caller about how abortion could be wrong even in cases of rape. There are many issues to be covered under that heading, but this letter touches on the key ones:

…
I just wanted to say that I am so pleased to read your stance on abortion in the case of rape. My mother was a 14-year-old girl who was raped, and she tried to have an abortion. The only reason I am alive today is because the doctor miscalculated her due date and thought she was too far in the pregnancy to have the abortion, when in reality he was a month off (this actually happened twice). It pains me every time I hear even die hard pro-lifers say “except in the case of rape”. I know it is traumatizing for a girl or woman that is raped to have to carry a child, but it is no more traumatizing than someone who gets shot during a violent attack and has to deal with those wounds. Counseling and therapy can help heal the trauma, but the trauma will be there whether she has the abortion or not, and the abortion could even make it worse. It has caused me so much anxiety over the years to think that many pro-lifers would have approved of my mother’s abortion. By the way, she gave me up for adoption, and my adoptive parents were never able to have children. Thank you so much for this wonderful view against abortion even in the case of rape.

The letter was from Christopher __________ from Vernon, who found the story and shared it with us from the website, abort73.com. Warning: It’s a pretty graphic site.

Penna Dexter interviewed Jill Stanek on Live from Criswell today. She held living little babies discarded after abortion procedures–some for more than eight hours. She said she could not bear the thought of those little babies being left alone for hours while they were dying. Unconscionably, Barak Obama’s consistent support of the pro-choice movement leads him to believe that requiring life-giving care for such infants would endanger the standing of Roe v Wade. He is right. And he is oh so contemptibly wrong.

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

How should Christian parents, church leaders, friends, and strangers react when they hear about the pregnancy of a young woman who is not married? This issue is very easy to address once confusion over it is resolved.
Where is the confusion? Well, when an unmarried teenager gets pregnant, there are actually two distinct issues influencing people’s behaviors and opinions: the sexual activity which brought about the pregnancy and the pregnancy itself.
Now there really should be no controversy regarding the sexual activity itself. Sex outside of marriage is precluded for those who follow Jesus. Admittedly, the presumption and even pressure of society is toward exactly what is precluded by New Testament Christianity, but there is no getting around passages against “promiscuity”, “fornication”, and the activities referenced by other lead-up and descriptive terms throughout the New Testament. But those prohibitions apply whether pregnancy is possible or not; even whether STD’s exist or not (and, duh, of course they do). So if an observer is not the parent of the pregnant teenager and does not have knowledge of the sexual activity of every non-pregnant teenager she is around then (more…)
