10 Myths and Lies of Abortion

1.  Abortion is a Woman’s Choice.

This is obviously the most overused and the most abused excuse in the abortion battle.

This statement is totally false. It gives no choice to the 55 million children’s lives that have been terminated and it gives no choice at all to all of those children who have been thrown away and disposed of as medical waste in the abortion process.

At what stage in life does a woman supposedly have the right to terminate a future life? It is 3 months – 6 months – 9 months?

Once a child is conceived in the womb even science determines that child has a destiny and a purpose. Who has given any woman a choice to terminate any human life at any stage in life

2.  It is not fair to bring a child into this world if the child is unwanted and a family cannot support it.

This is one of the most unfounded excuses in America. Poverty in our nation doesn’t compare to poverty in other nations. The poorest of children do not compare the poorest of children in third world countries. But yet we use this poverty excuse as an excuse to get what we want with no respect to the life that is being terminated.

If those people who attempt to use this excuse would really take the time to investigate the services that are available to help women and children, then they would find out that this excuse is not even near valid.

In the Pro Life world there are thousands of organizations filled with people are willing to offer the most support of anyone in this world along with many government or public supported agencies.

Every church and nonprofit organization works tirelessly to support unwanted children with clothing, food and education.

Pro Life financial and emotional support is available all across our Nation if you take the time to look. To throw away a child’s life because of this excuse is unfounded and irresponsible as a mother of a father of a child

3.  A child will ruin my life long goals at this time if I decide to keep it.

This is the biggest excuse, myth and lie that we hear amongst the young people of our Nation.

Obviously some type of irresponsibility caused this pregnancy. Whether it was an irresponsible sexual moment in time or whether it was a boyfriend that left you abandoned – a potential child does not ruin your life long goals.

If a women chooses to terminate the life that is inside of them, then that will ruin their life long goals with the constant reminder of guilt and anxiety thru the death of that potential future life.

Many young women have taken the responsibility and they have raised a child and they have chosen a respectable life for them and their child, while they have also gained the deepest respect from their family and peers. If a young mother decides to give her child to another loving home for adoption, that choice only breeds the deepest respect from the child in the future and the same respect from her family and peers as she sets a great example of motherhood.

4.  I have enough children already

Sadly to say this is the most convenient and self-centered excuse that we hear all of the time. We often hear this among the older women who have found themselves pregnant in their later years of their lives.

It is amazing of the number of women in their 30’s and 40’s that come for abortions that already have 3 or 4 + kids and sadly many of them have even had multiple (3 – 4) abortions in the past.

This is one of the most self-centered and selfish lies that women listen to.

It is not the fault of any child that he or she happens to be conceived in a family that uses this excuse.

Every child deserves a chance at life and just because a woman happens to have too many children already in her eyes, is not an excuse to terminate any child’s life. Every child has the right to live whether it is with the mother or a loving adopted family

5.  The baby is so small that he or she won’t even know what has happened.

I have heard this excuse on the street especially when a couple knows in their heart that abortion is wrong, but yet they are attempting to justify their guilty conscience.

A mother or father will often try and use this last minute excuse, even after a mother looks at an ultra sound picture of the baby formed perfectly in the womb, even after 6 weeks.

Even medical science has shown us pictures of this little child trying to escape the abortionists probe during the abortion. Even this excuse that even lacks medical evidence is no excuse for terminating a living child in the womb.

Here we often show people a picture of a typical 6 week old baby. You can go to any unbiased site such as http://www.WebMd.com or http://www.BabyCenter.com

6.  I know it is wrong. But God will forgive me tomorrow. God will understand.

How far will we twist and stretch God’s truth in an attempt to make it fit our own selfish desires.
This is truly stretching God’s truth, when we legitimately do something wrong – but yet tomorrow we are going to tell him we are truly sorry for doing what we already knew was wrong – and then we already pre-planned our forgiveness so that we can get what we want. Is this really true forgiveness? Or is a false attempt to try and deceive and an already all-knowing God?
God looks at the heart and he sees our intent and we cannot deceive an all knowing God, in an attempt to make him believe that we are truly repentant when we already knew exactly what we are doing. God cannot be deceived. He sees our heart.

God’s true forgiveness is for those who unwillingly make mistakes. In this case he is more than willing to forgive any true and honest mistakes and he is willing to forget if it is true forgiveness and not planned sin with a scheme to get what I want. (7)

7.  Right or Wrong! The baby is going down!

This is the most hardened excuse that I have heard too many times. There are men and women in this world that are so hardened to the truth, that they have attempted to block out every thought or feeling of the child that is in the mother’s womb.
If a man or woman has hardened their heart to this extent against the sin of abortion, then they truly can harden their heart towards any sin.
All we can do is pray for them. God have mercy on the hardest of hearts.

8.  It is my body.   I have a choice of what I do with my body

this is one of the most common comments. This is a comment of denial. Women have been fed this comment over and over again without looking at any truth or evidence. There are two choices involved. The choice of the mother and the choice of a child.

The mother has been deceived to believe that the baby has no choice even though every one of us started our lives at the very same place that the aborted baby’s life began. All of us were 8 weeks, 12 weeks or whatever age the mother chooses to abort. If there is no baby in the womb then there is no reason to abort a child.

Even science tells us that the child is a potential person and to deny that is denying science and faith
the guilt cannot be erased when a child is removed from a mother’s womb no matter what excuse is used.

9.  You write me a check and I will keep my baby!

 When we put a price tag on an infant and a child’s life, we have lost the value of a God given human life and the responsibility of raising a child.. It is sad when we kill a child just because of money. In abortion there is a shared responsibility. We will help the young ladies to save their baby and we will support them in every stage of raising that child, but mothers and fathers must take responsibility for their choices.

The saddest part is that this is not a valid excuse anyway. If we offered them money they wouldn’t accept it anyway. They assume that no one would write them a check and this is just a far out extravagant excuse to avoid the real issue. They will still do what they want but it shows to what extremes that people will try and create unreal excuses to do what they want anyway.

 10.  I don’t care about life. I have no respect for life – Point blank

This type of cold heartedness is more common than most of us would like to think. These people have been wounded and hurt by life’s circumstances and they have attempted to cover up their hurt and wounds by saying they don’t care.

This is the same as before, you can only reach these people by praying and asking God to break the hardness in their hearts. Very little words can reach a heart that has been hurt to this extent. Only God and his Holy Spirit can reach these men and women

Many of these people have been in prison, they have been in gangs, and they have seen murder and abuse throughout their life. Only God can reach them. Pray for them.

11.  Abortion is the Greatest Form of Child Abuse

To some this may seem to be a myth. But abortion has killed 55 million children and it has terminated the potential of 55 million adults since 1973. This does not even include the number of children and grandchildren that those 55 million people would have produced in their life time.

Our nation has grown in awareness of the most hideous crime of child abuse and we have prosecuted the guiltiest members of our society. But yet we have turned our head away and refused to look at the 1 1/2 million babies that are terminated every year behind the closed doors of abortion clinics where babies are killed and disposed of as medical waste every single day.

Who are those babies that we murder? Could these babies have been the ones to grow up to be young men and women who would have produced successful families and children? Could these babies have grown up to have been the next doctors, inventors, scientists or the next President of the United States? Or could they of been just average Americans who grew up as happy children and successful citizens who would of been given the freedom of choice and privilege of life like we all have been given. We will never know. 55 million babies have never been given that God given choice and they will never have the privilege that we experience today. (12) Abortion is a War Against Women!

 This is one of the most abused and misunderstood phrases used as an excuse for an abortion. Abortion itself is the greatest war against women, because it totally deceives women to think that an abortion has no physical or emotional consequences.
Abortion is an attempt to degrade women to a place where they are stripped of their most unique and God given gift of being able to reproduce children which are a gift of God… When a child is removed from a young ladies body, this is the removal of the very core and life of her femininity. Only women can truly understand this, but yet we see the sadness and the disparity in women’s lives after they leave an abortion with tears and pain that only they themselves can feel and understand.   (12) You can go on to lead a normal life after an abortion.. there will never be side effects This is the greatest myth and misconception from those who have never had abortions and the greatest deception to those who support abortions for others, when they themselves who have never experienced the guilt and anxiety for years and decades to come.

All a person has to do is to look at those who have gone thru the abortion process and the reality of guilt and shame has stayed with them a life time.
