What if Mary had an Abortion?

Well...\nWe'd probably be all Jewish and still waiting for the Messiah.\n\nGoodluck!

If you were Joseph, and Mary told you she was pregnant with the Son of God, would you have mixed emotions?\nOn one hand, you've been chosen to father the Son of God, but on the other, your woman is pregnant with anothers child, and you've never even had intercourse with her....\n\nPossibly an even better question:\nIf you were Joe, as i like to call him, would you feel weird to have sex with Mary while she was pregnant-or even after she gave birth to Jesus? \nThose are Holy fallopian tubes now.......

1.  Mary was a virgin until Jesus was born, afterward their marriage was consummated.  \n2.  Yes it would have to, but don't hold your breath.\n3.  People are not in the Hell of Revelation, lost souls are in a place Jesus called Hades, the saved are in the presence of God.\n4.  He says he doesn't.

If I understand you, you are saying that someone was carry a baby for another woman, however the women did not want the baby should she miscarry.  Morally no she should not abort the baby, however some miscarriages happen naturally.

Mary was actually at the cross, and Christ, as He hung there, asked one of His apostles to take care of her. If that is the case, then we must assume that Joseph was dead by then.

No.  The verses you mentioned are not talking about abortion.\n\nThey are talking about adultery and what would be done to a woman if her husband was jealous and thought she had cheated on him.\n\nThe husband and wife would go before the priest.  He would have water and dust from the tabernacle floor mixed together.  If she was innocent and had not done a crime...and the husband was just jealous.  ...  Nothing would happen to her..she would be proved innocent....and the potion would not harm her reproductive system.\n\nIf she was guilty of this crime ...her belly would swell...her leg would rot and she would not be able to bear children.  \n\nThis proceedure was not done on a pregnant woman.\n\nThe inability to bear children was a devastating situation to a woman.  Unfortunately, women today don't look upon children in the same manner, as a blessing from the LORD.  Unfortunately, a lot of women view their children as curses.\n\nThese verses shows that God does indeed care about our sexual relations.  We are to stay faithful to our spouse.  God definitely frowns on adulterous relationships along with many other sexually wrong relationships.

They can't.  A desperate person will resort to desperate- and dangerous methods.  How many women died from botched abortions done by amateurs, or even by themselves?  Is it worth it to have a law that protects a clump of cells, yet endangers a fully formed, living and realized person?  If Roe v. Wade is overturned, women will have no other choice than to go back to the coat hangers, and knitting needles, and whatever else was used in those unsafe, risky techniques.  History has shown that making abortion illegal will NOT stop women from having them, will NOT control the number of unwanted pregnancies, and will NOT make this country a better place.

There is no question about it.  God does not like any abortion to any child in the womb or out.  He is the creator of all life and therefore cherishes it and values it like a woman with a diamond ring on her finger.  He gave His only Son, for our lives and forgiveness, which no one can replace, or takeover.  He did not create us for us to die, Adam sinned against God and therefore we brought all the injustice to ourselves by Adam's sin.  Since we are all from the offspring of Adam we inherited that sinful nature.  So when that happened it was necessary for God Himself to remedy that situation, due to His love for all mankind.  Although he does not like killing of any kind, especially of humans.  What was one of the commandments, that we should not murder.  In His eyes it is murder when an abortion takes place.  Humans have no right to place a value on human lives.  We try to justify our decision to put someone to death, we do not have that right.  We cannot ressurect those whom have died, only God Himself.

Abortion is not birth control. If she's perfectly healthy, she wasn't raped, and it wasn't a case of incest, she would be both selfish and immature to abort the child rather than to give it up for adoption. Two million U.S. couples are waiting to adopt babies. \n\nAbortions are physically and mentally draining on women. She will never forgive herself. It will haunt her and break her heart for the rest of her life.

Imagine if Mary never opened the tomb.\n\nWe would stand outside the tomb today, and argue with EQUAL PROBABILITY whether or not God exists.\n\nNow THAT would be a religious debate worth having.

Having had an abortion myself, years ago, I hope that your Sister was counseled before she went through with it.  No one counseled me back then so I didn't know what to expect.  Initially I was "fine" and relieved on the way home, but the more I thought about it, the worse I became.  All these years later, it's left an emotional scar that only other women who have had the same procedure done, can and do understand.  I still remember the date the abortion took place, the name of the Doctor, what the room looked like, what my due-date would have been, and how old my child would be right now.  Each holiday after the abortion took on a new feeling and a new meaning within me.   Each holiday would have been my child's "first holiday".  Each day became harder and harder for me.  Still, to this day, I can't look at a pregnant woman - it hurts too much.  Please be there for your Sister and to listen to her.  She may even have suicidal feelings - this is a very common occurrence as well as trying to get pregnant again to "replace her first child".  While she may look the same on the outside, please remember that she's now different on the inside.

Mary was a normal human like everyone else.  She never preformed miracles, and she didn't stay a virgin much longer after Jesus was born.  She gave birth to Jesus' brother.    And right now (sorry Catholics) Mary is a dead woman who is nothing special.  What if a woman named "Suzan" gave birth to Jesus?  Would people start praying to "the virgin Suzan"?  Dead people don't hear prayers, only God does.

Probably not. But I do know of one who was "stricken down" on his way to a radio interview about his role as an abortion provider. Had a stroke and nearly died. Some of the local Fundamentalists read far too much into it.

It could be Mary - you never specify in the problem that she only has 4 kids.  She could have two dozen :)

There are a lot of us afraid of that. It's just a matter of time until they challenge Roe vs.Wade in the supreme court, and with the new justices appointed by Bush, it could easily be overturned. That would be a travesty. We have too many throw away children in our society now, and I was alive before Roe vs. Wade. I've seen what horrors illegal abortions can produce, and there will be illegal ones if it's overturned. \n\nThese people who are so pro abortion have no idea how many children will suffer if it's overturned. Is it better to have a child born then abused, neglected or abandoned than for a woman to have an abortion? And what right does anyone have to make that judgment for another woman. Moreso, what right does our government have to make that decision for a woman. It's her body, and it should be her decision. She's the one who knows her circumstances. \n\nYes, I agree that she should have thought about that before she got pregnant, but there are reasons that women get pregnant other than promiscuity, and once again, it's not our place to judge another.
