garnks asked: My mum told me a few hours ago that she's pregnant but she's getting an abortion. I know that it's the 'best' thing for her to do because of our current situation, but it's so sad, and I don't know how I'm meant to react to this. It's all wrong, it's not God's way of handling this. the baby has skin, hair, brain, spinal cord, a nervous system. It's my brother or sister, :/

It is not the best thing for her, in any situation. There has been statistics done by actual doctors/hospitals etc. Where women who do abortion end up with at least one, a few or all of many symptoms (consequences) such as:Infection or sepsis, Damage to the cervix, Scarring of the uterine lining, Perforation of the uterus, Damage to other organs, Death, ALSO;

• Impacted grieving: This reflects an inability to complete the grieving process
• Self-destructive tendencies such as eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, and substance abuse
• Feelings of isolation
• Feelings of confusion and difficulty concentrating
• Anxiety attacks
• Irritability
• Outbursts of rage or anger
• Aggressive behavior
• Nightmares or sleeping disorders
• Recurrent and intrusive thoughts about the abortion or the aborted child
• Flashbacks to the abortion experience
• Feelings of intense grief or depression on the date of the abortion or the due date of the aborted pregnancy
• Repression or denial about thoughts or feelings dealing with the abortion
• Efforts to avoid activities or situations that remind the woman of the pregnancy or abortion
• Withdrawal or estrangement from others
• Inability to maintain loving or trusting relationships
• A sense of hopelessness or futility about the future
• Diminished interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Suicidal thoughts or acts

It would be amazing if she can read all of this & even better if she can watch the movie ’ Sarah’s Choice ‘ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392996/

Also, there are many people who wish they can get pregnant, she can always give the baby for adoption. There are too many good ways to deal with her situation.

May the Lord guide your mother & supply all the needs she is in need of. May God protect the fruit of her womb & even her life. I cancel all negative thoughts & I send angels to minister to her & guard her mind, as the Holy Spirit will intervine & give her strength to make the right choice.
