This you tube video is being shared around Face Book lately and while it is an amazing video I think the issue goes much deeper. And in light of Abortion awareness week I thought I would post.

So Are We Really Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?
Most Christians would answer Pro-Life. By this they mean that they are against terminating a life that has already been conceived through abortion. But are they really Pro-Life? What if God should so desire to bless them with another family member? Usually not. The majority of the church has openly embraced birth control, even though the very name clearly implies that someone else is in control other than God. Their bodies, destiny, family size, timing and structure have never been turned over. God’s way has always been conception, birth and life. The world’s way has always been birth control, sterilization and abortion. It all accomplishes the same purpose. Life has been stopped. Whose side are we really on?
Just some thoughts..
What does God say about children and Who creates Life. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5.
"Then He (Jesus) said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent me. For he who is least among you all- he is the greatest." Luke 9:48. "All these were the sons of Hemen the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters." 1 Chronicles 25:5.
"Obed-edom had eight sons "for God blessed him." 1 Chronicles 26:4-5.
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:" Colossians 1:16
"Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?"
"As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all." Ecclesiastes 11:5.
"Here am I, and the children the Lord has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the Lord Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion." Isaiah 8:18.
"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself;" Isaiah 44

this is very thought provoking...Andrew got a visectomy after Rachel was born. And, at the time, I justified it because I had such a "difficult" time after having her, with anxiety and sleep, that I felt it was the "right" thing to do. And, though I still struggle, and couldn't imagine having another child right now, I do often feel the conviction of having "stopped life"...wondered what little life would have been possible if I wouldn't have been so selfish. But, I do believe God is bigger than a visectomy!! And, Andrew and I often say that if God wants to give us a miracle baby, we would be overjoyed! Thanks for this!
