A worried woman went to her gynecologist
and said: ‘Doctor, I have a serious problem &
desperately need your help! My baby is not even a year
old and I’m pregnant again. I don’t want kids so close
together.’
So the doctor said: ‘Ok, and what do you want me to do?’
She said: ‘I want you to end my pregnancy, and I’m
counting on your help with this.’
The doctor thought for a little while, and after some
silence he said to the lady: ‘I think I have a better
solution for your problem. It’s less dangerous for you
too.’
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept
her request.
Then he continued: ‘You see, in order for you not to
have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let’s
kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some
time before the other one is born. If we’re going to
kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is.
There would be no risk for your body, if you chose the
one in your arms.
The lady was horrified and said: ‘No doctor! How
terrible! It’s a crime to kill a child!
Would you consider abortion in the following four
situations?
- There’s a preacher and wife who
are very, very, poor. They already have 14 kids. Now
she finds out she’s pregnant with number 15. They’re
living in tremendous poverty. Considering their
poverty and the excessive world population, would
you consider recommending she get an abortion?
- The father is sick with sniffles,
the mother has TB. They have four children. The
first is blind, the second is dead, the third is
deaf, and the fourth has TB. She finds she’s
pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would
you consider recommending abortion?
- A white man raped a 13-year-old
black girl, and she got pregnant. If you were her
parents, would you considering recommending
abortion?
- A teenage girl is pregnant. She’s
not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the
baby, and he’s very upset. Would you consider
recommending abortion?
In the first case, you have just
killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists in the
19th century.
In the second case, you have killed
Beethoven.
In the third case, you have killed
Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer.
If you said yes to the fourth case,
you have just declared the murder of Jesus Christ!! |
