Our second topic for today is abortion, which has very close feelings to the death penalty. Is an abortion truly murder, or is it just a necessary part of life?
Another unanimous answer from the classroom: it is wrong, and it is equivalent to murder. We understand that not having an abortion has worldly consequences, but they are simply the 'just deserts' of your actions. By having an abortion, you suffer spiritual, and possibly mental, consequences. Regardless of what you choose to do, God will forgive you if you repent, but some paths are easier to handle than others.
One of our teachers/'adult chaperones' has actually had an abortion. She told us, in person, that she has felt the consequences of her actions. She has said that she thought about it, and after a while, the full effect of what she had done hit her. As to her character, repentance, salvation, etc., I have met very few people with the same amount of faith and passion for Christ as her. By all means, she should be saved, and it just goes to show that by giving a person time, they will repent and turn further to God, not to say that they were not faithful beforehand.
The bottom line is that abortion is wrong, but it's not going to cost you your salvation, as long as you repent.
