The Lord hates hands that shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6:17).
-
Abortion is murder ?
Committing that act automatically makes you a murderer……your hands are stained with blood. -
Have you asked her why she wants the abortion? You do not have to throw Bible verses at here. Depending on the reason why she wants the abortion, is where you go from there. Personal, scientific, adoption, or spiritual (Biblical).
-
Come live with me I will take care of you and your babe till it is born. together we will find a way.

“Your body, your choice. I’m sure it isn’t an easy decision.”

Since this is an apologist group, I will first say there is a time for a good defense and a time not to use Apologetic. If someone wants to have an academic discussion that is one thing.
If they are coming seeking advise, this would not be the time to be academic, commanding, judgmental, ect.
Instead it is important to realize they have a choice and they choose to come talk to a minister before doing anything. This shows the Holy Spirit it at work with their conscience.
Instead listen, don’t speak. Love them as you love yourself, no matter what choice they make. Pray. Don’t just throw verses at them when they ask you questions. Instead paraphrase the verse and make it personal to their unique circumstance.
You don’t need to flat out say abortion is wrong. They are coming to a minister. They know your position.

Go watch the 180 film from living waters Ray Comfort. It talks al about it and you can also ask them to watch it. It might just change their mind.

You don’t like abortion but you vote Democrat why????

I would tell them that in my younger years, I was highly pressured to have one. That out of fear, I had my baby killed. That is is THE BIGGEST regret of my entire life. That the people filling my head with fear weren’t around long after I had the procedure done so their opinions were less than pointless. That I had to hide the painful truth from my family and friends for years while I suffered alone. That I became horribly depressed. I gained a lot of weight and began to hoard my house. And when I did finally have a son, my immense love for him only destroyed my heart even farther because I knew I would have loved that child just as much. And when I would seek comfort from female, supposed feminist friends down the road, they would shame and mick me more than any other group because I tried to speak the truth about the pain it caused. Our culture hates women and it hates children. I am so thankful God rescued me from that hell. I’m so glad that my eyes are opened to the real war against women… and confused women are on the front lines of the attack, attacking women and children. In fact, if she needs to talk, please have her message me.

Please don’t! How can I help you to go through this? Your baby is a living miracle. You will get through this. The miracle of life is a blessing. You are a coparticipant with God in the formation of life! If you can’t care for your baby, we will find a proper loving home for him or her.

In gentleness, I would first show compassion for the struggles she may be facing. The fact that she has come forward tells me her conscience is troubling her about the issue. I would address that and let her know she is not alone and there are crisis pregnancy centres with compassionate people who could help her. I would also give her a copy of the movie ‘Unplanned’. Then I would ask her if she has a relationship with Jesus Christ and lead her into a discussing about faith while presenting the Gospel to her.
-
Show care and love for the person, help her to know God loves her and her family love her.
Help her to realize the consequences of choices.
Help her to understand God’s grace. She absolutely need genuine care and love to overcome the temptation and wrong thoughts… -
Why not give up the baby for adoption. There are many people who are looking for a kid who cannot have one.You can help them what do you say?
-
Abortion is murder and nine-men or women in black robes do not possess the authority to affirm murdering innocence and denying a child their 5th and 14th Amendment due process protections. Abortion is a violation of God’s 6th-Commandment and the mother that murders her baby will suffer psychologically and physiologically and spiritually for the rest of her life. I would counsel the woman to continue providing life to her child and subsequent to birth, if she so chooses, place the child for adoption but DON’T murder your baby!

You can tell the biblical account of John, being inside his mother’s womb, leaped for joy, when hearing of Mary’s salutation (greetings) to Elizabeth.

The sin is not qualitative. Sin is sin. Say the same thing you say to the one who gossips.
-
Demonstrate compassion .. Ask questions to understand their thoughts and emotions .. Listen to their answers .. Pray for wisdom .. Speak truth .. Demonstrate God’s love .. Don’t shy away from truth, but speak truth in love .. children and grandchildren are alive today because Christians have done this ..
-
Remember the people hiding Ann Frank were breaking the law, the people whom killed her we’re obeying the law.

I would love on them as hard as I could and gracefully share the gospel and offer them help. People do stupid things aka sin when they have no support. What better moment then to tell them there is forgiveness, love, and support and most importantly salvation in Jesus Christ? If you are a godly woman of God, this is our battle field, at abortion mills and these girls and women need us and the gospel of Jesus. Let us leave the pulpit to the men and let’s go after our lost female neighbor. They can’t tell us we don’t know what it’s like cause we do, we’ve been there and with the experience and faith we can minister to these lost souls for God’s glory! This is our battle field where we can be more successful than men… Not that they can’t minister, but we are women and these girls cannot lie to us because we know… we don’t believe their lame excuses for murdering a baby made in the image of the Lord. And lastly we can pray for them… Lord open their eyes to see this terrible sin and open their ears to hear the good news, and open their mind to understand, and give them a new heart with new desires. In Jesus name! Amen

Human life is created in the image of God by God. God does not make mistakes. Although things seem difficult, killing your child will not make them easier.
-
Give them options with love. Be pro 4 choices.

I’m really sad about the lack of Christians having any clue how to actually respond to someone contemplating abortion. 1. They feel helpless. You need to personally find a crisis resource pregnancy for them. Make it your responsibility to save that life. 2. Try to find online stories of hope for people that overcame abortion. 3. See if the local church can help provide financial assistance which is a lot of reasons for pregnancy. 4. Make sure she knows that options exist. You can work through the pregnancy and keep it or give it up for adoption. If adoption is necessary, then help talk to the local churches and find a family that’s willing to adopt or adopt it yourself. 5. Let her know that no matter what, God is with her and will help her get through this and that he loves her and her child. He won’t give up on her, so she shouldn’t give up on that child.

Watch the movie “Alison’s Choice” by Bruce Marchiano. It will bless you all.
-
That I’d adopt the baby, and of they go through with it then they are a murderer
-
Dont
-
Find the crisis pregnancy center in your area. Give her a resource to help her learn truth instead of pro choice lies. Lives are saved and many mothers and fathers come to Christ from these centers.
-
I’ll adopt
-
James said the only true religion is caring for orphans and widows. So as a follow of christ we need to be willing to take that child in
-
Ask her to consider doing an Ultrasound and see there is a little human in there. Also they will sorely regret it for the rest of their life. And What about adoption?
-
Human Life begins at conception. God’s eternal conception of that life began before time. To end the life of another is murder. Abortion breaks the greatest laws to love God above all else and love others as yourself. There are not only eternal consequences there are lifelong consequences of guilt and regret.
Mothers are stewards of God’s plan for His preordained children. Just as our mothers obeyed and gave God’s plan a chance through us, we must obey and allow God to manifest His plan through this preborn, preordained, made-for-a-purpose child.
-
fear God! i know someone who had the same experience but able to overcome. that baby is now a pastor. Praise God
-
Surround her with love and support
-
Whose life are you taking? Did you get God’s permission? Who is ultimately in charge of that life? What motivates you to do this? Would it be right to take that life?
-
Tell her to trust the Lord, the giver of life; the Author and Perfector.
Loving Saviour, Father, Lord AlmightyJUDGE
-
I’m here for you. Let me pray with you before you go and ensure you recite Psalm 139:1-18
-
Remind them that God loves them and the child! That their are services and help available, that they dont have to listen to peer pressure and should rethink their decision and change their mond. We should tell them what Jesus did for us and tell them the gospel truth.
-
Tell them a baby’s right to live is more important than a woman’s right to choose
-
Connect them to resources that can help them financially and otherwise. Explain that every life is a gift from God and worthy of being given a chance.
-
I think it’s important to understand why they are getting an abortion. Do they need to be educated on the positives of having a Down syndrome child? That they can still grow up to be wonderful people, many of which even hold jobs? Do they fear financial ruin? Are they aware of other options like adoption? Do they need help accessing those?
-
God may have given you a child so you can bless a childless couple if you do not want to keep the baby..
-
How to deal with this?
1. Be not judgmental.
2. Ask a lot of questions behind the decision?
3. What are the underlying reason?fear of disappointing people?shame?condemnation? Fear of being unable to provide?
4. Speak words of encouragement about the underlying issue through a verse as lead by holy spirit.
5. Share the gospel of Christ , lead her to reconciliation back to God .6. Do not answer her self condemnation with condemning words. Speak grace.
-
Unconditional Love is the key. Irrespective of her choice.
-
Ask them if it’s a boy or girl then ask them to get ultrasound to hear the heart beat .
-
I think the question also comes down to how do you tell an 11 year old girl who has been raped and is now pregnant to keep and birth a baby?
-
Deal with it in love casting judgement will not help the situation. These people are deceived and just need a gentle hand
-
Show them some videos of babies being aborted, ripped apart, sucked out, saline solutioned to death. If it was by opening her legs willingly, tell her to keep the closed, if it was by other means, rape for example, teach her that murder on top of rape is no way to solve a problem.
-
Hi you pray and get wisdom on how to aproach her.Make her to see the goodness of life and some important health issues with her body. What the word of God say about love.
-
Don’t do it. Let’s find another way.
