Comments on: Abortion - Now it’s Something Holy? http://www.minthegap.com/2006/05/27/abortion-now-its-something-holy/ Standing in the Gap in a Society that's Warring with God.

This is a hard-hitting piece. And lest you think this rare or abnormal, I've seen it on the abortion clinic blog I occasionally read (I can't stomach it all the time, but I read it to keep myself "up" on what the other side is saying...). She used Koranic teachings to persuade a Muslim woman that it was acceptable and even right to abort an "unwanted fetus". Other abortion clinic counselors wrote in, excited that they had a new "angle" to approach "women of faith" who seem nervous or unsure about having an abortion. The sad thing is that most of the abortion counselors have had at least one (if not many, many more than one) abortion, and they seem to not just "counsel" women on their options, but consistently LEAN towards the option of abortion, that it is right and best for nearly EVERY woman in EVERY situation, because (I think) it makes them feel more validated in their own choice(s). This article makes me sad. And the fact that women are going to buy into it, and feel more spiritual right in the midst of murdering their own child ABSOLUTELY breaks my heart. Jess Wow.
