Consider these scenarios:
Scenario 1: An older women, with no children finds out that she is pregnant. Should she give up her child because of the high risk of child birth associated with being older or should she keep the child?
Scenario 2: An unwed teen girl finds out she is going to have a child. Her friends will shun her, the people in her society might stone her. Should she quietly go somewhere to end the pregnancy or should she accept what has happened in her life?
Scenario 3: A man finds out the his fiancee is pregnant and that it is not his child. Should he leave her? Should he force her to abandon the pregnancy? Should he ridicule her in front of everyone? Should he accept what has happened and keep on loving her and the child as if they where his own?
Scenario 4: An unwed teen mother of one finds out that she is about to have a second child. Should she stop the pregnancy because of her financial and social situation or should she give up her child to adoption?
If you are to ask the people at pro-choice, they will give you the same answer to each of these four scenarios. The choice of the pro-choice movement is almost always abortion.
So what did happen in these real life stories?
Scenario 1: Zachariah and his wife Elizabeth decide to keep the child who goes on to be the last great prophet, John the baptist, who announces the coming of the messiah Jesus.
Scenario 2: The young girl says yes to the pregnancy. Her fiat (yes) will mean the she will become Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Where would we be without her "yes" to life?
Scenario 3: The man in question is of course Joseph, who was betrothed to Mary.
Scenario 4: Without this mother accepting life, and the very difficult choice to carry her child to term and then give him up to adoption. I would not be here today. I am thankful to her and to the loving family that adopted me. To mom who brought me up and to mom who gave me away to receive me back over 30 years later, Thank you with all my heart.
I am for "choice" ,if the choice is life.
