Women can be upset at being pregnant for a variety of
reasons. Perhaps she has many children already and believes that she could not
physically, emotionally, or financially care for another. She could have been
raped and the thought of baring the rapist’s child horrifies her. It is
possible the baby is an inconvenience to her career and social life. It is
possible that her partner will beat her and punish her in numerous ways because
she has become pregnant against his wishes.
These are just a few examples that show that there are
different reasons motivating women when they abort their babies. Ending a life
is wrong, at the same time, it is very important that we understand why women
take such a drastic step. Some women do it out of desperation, believing there
are no other viable options. I am not saying that this is right, what I am
saying is that it is important that we compassionately understand what was
going on in her life at the time.
Women who have abortions experience numerous after
effects. Some women think about it every day, they will probably feel guilty, ashamed,
angry, and full of regret, to name a few. These go on to affect her other
relationships and often all areas of her life.
God cares for her and loves her. We know that Jesus
died on the cross because of God’s love (John 3:16). He died for us when we
were his enemies so that we could be reconciled to God (Romans 5:10). She can
know that God loves her and because of Jesus’ death on the cross, wants her to
be reconciled to him
This reconciliation means that he wants to forgive
her. She might think that she is too bad to be forgiven. Yet, it is God who
takes the initiative to bring about forgiveness and he did this when she was
his enemy. The way is open for her to be forgiven because Jesus paid for her
sin on the cross so that she could be forgiven.
God’s care for her extends to the repercussions that
she experiences. He cares for her so much that he wants to work on them. He
wants to work on her guilt, shame, anger, regret, among other things, bringing
his life where there has been destruction.
It is not possible in such a short video to speak
about all that is involved about God’s care for the woman who has had an
abortion. If you would like further help, I recommend contacting Healing Hearts
