In reply to Cutie.

Cutie, please stop for a moment. Take the time to examine your hands and fingers, your fingernails, and look closely at the fingers you used to type your comments. By about 10 weeks in within the sanctuary of your mother's womb, those very fingers were formed. Your little heart had already been beating at 3 -4 weeks. Your head, spinal column were distinguished, and your umbilical chord was being active, transporting oxygen and nutrients from your mother to your tiny body, and it was good. It was a miracle and God created another child from as result of His boundless love. In the weeks that followed, at around week twelve, your eyes of a beautiful color, ears, and face displayed your distinctive qualities. By 14 weeks, you had nerves, nerves which could experience pain. On and on the days passed, and Cutie was increasing in weight by seven times, and doubling in height. By 23 weeks or earlier, viability was present, and you could actually survive outside of the womb.
When you consider these facts about your own life, do you think that the "pro-choice" position, in which 50 million unwanted babies have perished already, is a moral opinion, a viable political position, or a point of view the Lord expects of a Christian? The answer is no, it is not. I pray that you will come to your senses, and the truth, that the murder of the unborn in the womb is wrong. For women who had been misguided and had abortions, and repent, God will forgive. The LCMS takes a pastoral view of the abortion issue, and opposition must be tempered by mercy and compassion for those struggling with this sin, or the effects of it. The great Satanic lies of the culture, and the extreme anti-family position of some feminist leaders in our time has painted "reproductive rights" to include infanticide for convenience, and this is an abomination to the Lord. Many leaders of the pro-life movement are women themselves, so it is not a matter which should be construed as 'against the rights of women.' It is a grevious sin, and we must stand against it always. Being 'pro-choice' means determining that a defenseless child is worthy of death, in 90 percent of cases, for the mere reasons of being unwanted and inconvenient, and this is the grevious sin of our nation....God will judge.
