Compassion for the Hurting
What should be an individual’s response to someone who has had an abortion? Should people condone abortion if they do not agree with it? Should people condemn the person who has had an abortion? No, compassion and love should be shown to those who are hurting because of an abortion, but that does not mean that one condones something they do not agree with. Christians that are real Christians will not bomb abortion clinics because murder is wrong. It also gives Christianity, a religion of mercy and grace, a really bad name. It is not that abortion is right, or that it is not murder, or that a Christian condones or accepts abortion as a good alternative, but that forgiveness and mercy and love are shown.
Don’t protest in front of abortion clinics. Really, it is just ridiculous. If someone wants to make a difference in the lives of women and babies, trade protesting in front of abortion clinics for protesting in Congress. Protesting in front of an abortion clinic confronts scared and confused women. People should reach out to these women while taking the fight to Congress. In John 8:1-16 (KJV) Christ had compassion on a woman that was taken in the very act of adultery. Instead of stoning her for her sin as the law required, he told her that He did not condemn her and to “Go, and sin no more.” He did not condone her sin, but neither did He condemn her for it. He showed mercy and love and compassion toward her.
One of the basic techniques in the game of chess is to look at the whole board and see what each piece is doing. Before having an abortion, look at all the angles: the effects and the alternatives to all involved. Choose…carefully.

I agree. I wish that sex ed was not taught so young in public schools. Seriously, what does a second grader need to know about the birds and the bees? When it is taught, I wish that abstinence was taught and emphasized as the best preventative measure to both STD's and unplanned pregnancy because it is.
I know that the church I go to teaches purity until marriage and it is the best way. We also have a bus ministry outreach and a youth department that is about half church kids and half bus kids, but the church, especially those churches that do not reach out to youth, do not have as much impact or influence on the youth as the public schools do. A church has as much influence on the teen as the teen and their parent allows and no more.
