I’m going to risk it and talk plainly about politics and spiritual truth: understanding abortion issues. I realize we have many points of view on this subject in the community at large yet I feel it is important to share my wisdom and insights at this time.
There is a great deal of focus on women’s rights and likely an outcry coming from the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe versus Wade on the abortion issue.
I won’t go into the political stuff much because our focus is not on politics. I do however want to clarify that each state continues to reserve the right to do what the citizens of the state want them to do. Some states still approve abortion at varying stages. The decision was made purely on a ‘this is not in the constitution’ basis, so it is not ‘federal’ law.
How are we as humans wired when it comes to a natural response to pregnancy and loss?
There is a belief that life begins at conception. I test that this is 100% true. If you think about the ladies who have had a miscarriage even early on there is tremendous grief for the loss of the child. Conception can happen in about the first 7 days after sex, it does not necessarily happen at the moment of intercourse.
Here’s how our body responds if you were looking forward to being pregnant.
Our natural instinctual response as a mother is, that when a miscarriage happens we will grieve the loss of the unborn child. The grief for a stillborn child is so great, this little body is not just a thing, it is a life.
Even in utero, the child can show their personality. A parent already becomes familiar with its little cues. Many parents will read stories, sing songs and welcome the developing child and its spirit into life. Belly kissing and touching, and stroking is a common sight to see for a pregnant mom and the daddy.
I’ve also worked with women immediately after having an abortion and there is an incredible amount of regret and grief experienced in the women who seek me out. I realize that may not be all women. I’m referring to the ladies who are seeking relief from their guilt and pain of deciding to ‘end a life’. We on an organic, biological level understand and know life has ended. This is the response from the physical part of us, our body wisdom.
You may not know this statistic but since abortion clinics have been strategically placed in low-income black neighborhoods, the rate of aborted black babies is 5x more than white babies.
A change in the common practices of women in the 1960s with sexual practices.
The question I have is; if women wants to sleep with lots of partners, and be more like a promiscuous man in her sexual behaviors, perhaps she should also plan to not get pregnant. Women are educated about abortion, what if they were educated and able to take action to fully prevent the conception of a child she is not ready for?
When a woman is intentional about being sexually active, there will be the potential for pregnancy. I think the women’s health issue may be a conversation of changing the attitudes toward sex outside of marriage and perhaps women who know they do not want children could have a choice of sterilization. We know where babies come from. I don’t think there’s anybody who doesn’t know where babies come from and we know how they’re made and having sexual behaviors with the opposite sex is going to run the potential of the creation of new life.
Some of the issues around having an abortion and that being a good option for birth/death control have to do with miasm (group mind virus) and mind control especially as experienced through project mocking bird and all the media avenues. I am referring to a very strong hypnotic state of making one issue mean another, a collapse of two ideas. This collapse of two ideas can also stimulate a fervor of intense emotion and have a group of people committed to something that isn’t fully grasped or understood.
Let me explain this better. Some claim abortion is a woman’s health issue. That would indicate pregnancy is some kind of illness or disease. On the contrary, a woman’s body’s highest function is pregnancy. In other words, she will feel happiest and most fulfilled with a child in her womb.
Is pregnancy an actual health issue, a moral circumstance, or a planning issue when it comes to the need to keep abortion at play?
The conversation about women’s health-related to her right to control her body and have an abortion if she so chooses.
There is a lot of talk about the right of women to have dominion over her own body. One of the going thoughts is the right to terminate the pregnancy even up to the end of pregnancy or a day after birth is her “right’. This has been rolled into an idea that unwanted pregnancy is a health issue.
The ‘right’ not to carry a child.
But the right to not carry a child may also be looked at in a different way. If a woman weren’t having unprotected sex they would likely not become pregnant. I know my former sister-in-law got pregnant using both an IUD and a condom back 35 years ago. But nowadays you can be partially sterilized, permanently. It’s easy to do. A woman can pick a 5 year or lifetime plan. If getting pregnant is not backed up with I can get out of it with an abortion if I do get pregnant, would we educate women differently?
Some have indicated a pregnancy could be life-threatening. This is extremely rare in the modern world. I did carry my 3rd child while having terminal cancer. I was in a very unhappy relationship with an abusive partner, and still, my instinct was to save my baby. I refused the offer to abort my baby boy, prayed for 3 hours a day and he was born 8lbs, a chubby healthy boy. I was weak and struggled for a long while with cancer, but he is alive today with 3 children of his own. He is an excellent father and husband. He is a scout leader and makes a wonderful contribution to the world just by being himself.
I think we are sold a bill of goods on our value versus the child inside us. Who can predict who will be of most service and who will help the world more, the mother or the child?
What about a case of rape? Turns out I have several clients who had one loving parent or grandparent who survived being a child conceived in a rape. The child was loved and became a wonderful adult. One of these folks runs a huge farmers’ market in a major city.
But, I know if this were a real concern there is a morning-after pill. If there is any thought of a pregnancy from a brutal experience, there is a choice before any cells start to get in action and develop a blastocyst. I regret that I have personal knowledge of what happens after a brutal rape, but I unfortunately do. My Doctor cleaned me up every way you can imagine, he gave me the shots to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, etc, there is a morning-after pill now as well. So if there was a brutal rape, there is an immediate solution. This is a very very rare situation.
So there is some scripture that talks about life beginning at birth and that is an interesting concept related to breath of life where the spirit animates the body and yet I want to dig deeper into this idea and look at where life begins in the human process.
The other misunderstanding is that the baby is expendable even up to the day after birth, infanticide and that this child has no right that the mother has the choice to destroy it at any point. Again remember we are created in the image and likeness of God.
Make no mistake abortion is a violent act depending on how far advanced the infant has developed the baby’s bones are broken and pieces are cut out and removed and then reassemble to make sure they got all the pieces of the broken apart child. Even early on the child fights to survive with the section type of abortion and has seen struggling to stay in the womb when it’s being pulled out.
And I am deeply saddened to call attention to the stem cell industry which accesses a large amount of the medical stem cell therapies from the aborted baby’s cells. These cells are used to repair joints, flavor and enhance food, and many other things.
Finally and now I have written about this before, what happens to the spirit of an aborted fetus? As clear as a picture as I can get, 97% go to purgatory. And they operate in any future they have under a kind of family curse. Being unwanted is a program that is hard to overcome. but understand going to purgatory is a kind of energetic prison, they typically won’t get to incarnate again.
In all of these questions, I think we need to look at God’s intent on creation and humanity. When humanity was created, God was joyous. He looked at us as his children and saw that we could thrive in a garden of love and connection. He provided a beautiful palette to enjoy nature, the creatures we share the earth with as well as the forest beaches, mountains, deserts, and beautiful ever-changing sky. We were given all we needed to live in ecstatic joy. Aligning with purity and truth, we align with life and life-giving action activities and behaviors. Ending a life, if you believe a fetus is a life, is not aligned with what God intended for His creation.
Hope for those who have participated in an abortion. God promises forgiveness and love. turn your sorrows in prayer to God and ask forgiveness. See yourself with a change of heart for the preciousness of God’s creation. Pray for the one or ones whom you cast aside when you did not know what you know now and help them find their way to heaven. You can as well ask me to check on a child, and if in purgatory I can move it to heaven with no difficulty. You are not in trouble, you are very much loved. Making the heart right with God is a step towards greater blessings and an ability to help others as well in this journey. I love you and believe in you.
