In a recent press release David Bereit, national director of 40 Days for Life, said, “With abortion advocates trying to exploit the current health care reform debate to mandate taxpayer funding of abortion. We are incredibly encouraged to see record numbers of people in cities across America willing to take a stand by participating in 40 Days for Life to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and seek God's protection for innocent children in the womb -- and mothers -- at risk of abortion. “ Does this mean God will put his abortion practice on hold for 40 days?

According to FertilityAuthority.com, “Approximately 20 percent or 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and often a cause is never found.” That’s one too many. God doesn’t ask parents if they want to keep their baby or not, he just does it. How does that work? At least when a couple or mother decides to have an abortion they have a reason for it, and it is their choice.

If you ask someone who deeply believes in God their answer will be, “God did it for a reason.” Seems like the only good thing that comes out of miscarriage is money made by doctors and counselors - capitalism at work!

Others might say, “They didn’t pray enough.” Oh yes, like that’s going to help a lot. Anyways, let’s hope He got the memo about 40 Days for Life campaign; otherwise, that one happy mother won’t be so happy after God will be done with her.

Life is sacred, and should be cherished no matter what. However, God should be the last reason why someone shouldn’t have an abortion. It’s like trying to use fire to treat burn wounds – let’s see you do that! In the end it comes down to choice. If you want to use God as the reason for stopping abortion, let’s be honest here, He did give us free will and mind to go along with it. Our mind tells us that this choice should be left to her, not Him or you, for that matter.

On the other hand, maybe there is no God, which would make life so much easier and more enjoyable. No really, it’s a bit exhausting hearing God this and God that. Can’t you take credit for once?
