Apparently abortion is now less taboo in the Middle East, meaning those cultures are stepping backwards.
“If access to contraceptives was widely and freely available, abortion wouldn’t be necessary,” said an official at a Western family planning organization in Yemen.

Abortion, she said, is “a last resort.”
Uh, yeah, birth control has virtually eliminated unplanned pregancies in the West. Abortions hardly ever happen – only 3,500 per day or so in the U.S. What a liar. Despite decades of massive funding and communications, birth control programs are failures.
Sadly, they will learn that there are remarkably few problem situations in life that are improved by destroying innocent human beings.
Unmarried and pregnant, Ranya gathered up her courage and confided to a friend that she was considering a drastic step: an illegal abortion.
She braced for criticism. But to her surprise, her friend disclosed that she had had one too.
Ranya asked another friend, who also said she’d had an abortion. And another gave her the phone number of a doctor in Beirut who would perform the procedure. The doctor used no anesthetic. The pain lingered for days, but the guilt engulfed her weeks later.
“It doesn’t make me feel guilty because of Islam,” said Ranya, 29, a short, brown-haired artist, struggling with her words. “It’s a very complicated guilt to explain. I tend to philosophize things. I feel guilty in a weird way. It crosses my mind all the time.”
Tragically, millions of women in the Middle East and their unborn children are about to learn what tens of millions of women in the West already have. Regardless of the satanic rationalizations and spin doctoring, you reap what you sow.
Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

This kinda messes with the notion that Middle Easterners are different, that we couldn’t possibly understand them. We hear this kind of nonsense in discussions regarding terrorism. But here, we see that people are people. Culture doesn’t matter all that much deep down. People will find a way to be self-centered, self-gratifying jerks no matter what their place of origin, no matter what their religion or culture. But why did this have to manifest in this dispicable manner?

People ridicule the Vatican Archaic stance on Abstinence but there is no better way to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
When I was a teenager, actually, until I became a Christian, I never thought abortion killed babies. We need to spread the word that abortion kills babies.
Hi Neil,
A great post, showing more of the illogic that comes from the abortion crowd. However, I think we will live with this problem from now until Christ returns, unless there is a great out pouring of the Spirit on the church, and we truly become the light in the world He calls us to be.
Blessings
i know i will date myself with this one. in college we showed ’silent scream’ at the rec center. does anyone else remember that one? maybe we should dust it off and take another look.
one thing i have told girls that are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy is that God has a purpose for that child. in other words, God was not doing the dishes when that child was conceived. He has a plan for all life.
