Case #1: A preacher and his wife are extremely poor. They already have 14 children. Now she is pregnant again. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending she get an abortion?
Case #2: The father is sick with a cold, the mother has tuberculosis. They have 4 children. One is blind, another is dead, the third one is deaf, and the fourth one had tuberculosis. Now she is pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
Case #3: A white man raped a 13-year-old black girl and she got pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
Case #4: A teenage girl is pregnant. She’s not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby, and he’s very upset. Would you consider abortion?
In the first case, if you recommended abortion, you have killed John Wesley, one of the greatest evangelists and hymns writers in the 19th century. In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven. In the third case, you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer. If you said yes to the fourth case, you would have declared the murder of Jesus Christ.
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
