Should
parents have the right to know when their child is having an abortion?
Allot of people in this country are discussing
if a parent should have
to give permission before there child can have an abortion. Let's look
at the facts. As the law stands now parents have to give permission for
their child to go on a field trip, and permission for the schools to
test a child's hearing (a non-invasive procedure). Schools have to
inform a parent if the child gets a minor scrape. They are not old
enough to go to certain movies. Not old enough to have legally have
sex. But yet these little people are supposedly mature enough to decide
if they want an abortion? Abortion isn't as safe as we have often been
led to believe. Just one legal abortion increases the chance of a
premature delivery next time from 5%
to 14%
so it almost triples the chance
that any wanted children won't be as healthy as they should be. This
prematurely sometimes leads to brain damage. In Czechoslovakia the rate
of abortion is so high that any time a pregnant woman presents scar
tissue they sew her cervix shut and keep the her in the hospital
sometimes for months before the birth.
Not only does abortion increase the chance of premature births
in the future, but women who have had an abortion often experience a
problem not unlike Post traumatic stress syndrome that Vets have
experienced . This syndrome is called Post Abortion Syndrome otherwise
known as PAS.

They aren't old enough open a bank account, get a full time job, drop
out of school or move out on their own without parent permission.
How can they be old enough to know how to decide which doctor is best
qualified, and more importantly which doctor is least qualified to do
the
job? How does a young child who hasn't experienced a stable menstrual
cycle
yet even know that they are experiencing complications from an abortion
until it is to late to help the child, unless the parent who knows
about
the situation can monitor the child.
Many people are saying right now, well what about the kids who
were victims of incest by one of their caregivers?
The "caregiver" or "parent" needs to be in jail and the child should be
placed in the care of anouther person who cares about the child and
won't hurt her. That person would then be the one who would have to
give permission..
Note to Christians: I am sure many of you noticed I did not talk about
religion in this article. I wanted this argument to speak to non
Christians as well as Christians. Many Non Christians will stop reading
the moment God is mentioned, those who don't stop reading are
often trying to find a way to fight about what you are saying
instead of opening their heart.
Therefore I believe you should talk about God after you have built some
sort of trust between you and the people you are talking to. But if you
are speaking to only people who already profess Christ by all means
start sharing scripture from the very start.
When
Josh McDowell was a pre-law student, he was challenged by a group of
Christians to investigate the claims of Jesus from a purely
intellectual standpoint. At the time, he felt supremely confident
Christianity would fail such
an examination, so he set out to prove that Christianity was a sham.
Along
the way, he discovered something else; he discovered Jesus.
The Evidence that Demands a Verdict
may
have started out as an attempt to prove Christianity intellectually
false. What is has now become is something completely different.
McDowell uncovered in his research the incredible resiliency of the
Christian faith, and the strength of its intellectual claims. Thus,
when he came to setting out his findings, he ended up creating one of
the best Christian apologetic references available. And now he has made
that reference work even better, revising it and updating it for the
21st century.
The New Evidence that Demands a
Verdict
maintans and strengthens McDowell's original arguments for the validity
of Christianity. Jam-packed with information, this book looks at why
the Bible can be trusted, including its historical reliability and
accuracy.
McDowell explains who Jesus is, and why the New Testament record of his
personality and ministry is the best and most authentic source
available.
He also explains how several world views have attempted to discredit
Christianity,
particularly through the methods of biblical, form, and textual
criticism.
McDowell also examines several philosophical systems, including
skepticism,
agnosticism, and mysticism, and offers a cogent defense of the idea and
reality of miracles.
Few apologetics books can claim the
intellectual breadth that The
New Evidence that Demands a Verdict has. It's extensive
bibliography and documentation give it a firm foundation that enables
it to weather
even the strongest criticism. It has been a classic apologetic
reference
since its first publication, and it is now even better. |

By Francis Beckwith / Baker
Writing from years of experience in defending Christian values,
Beckwith and Koukl offer a critique of moral relativism. They explore
the inconsistencies inherent in the relativist position, suggest
specific approaches that
can be used in the course of dialogue, and consider the everyday
implications of relativism, especially in realtion to important issues
such as: abortion, homosexuality, multiculturalism, political
correctness, and tolerance. Paperback. |
