Bible Question:
My wife and I are faced with a decision that is tearing at our very being. God has blessed us with three wonderful, healthy kids who we love dearly. My wife developed some medical complications and has been watched closely by our GP and her gynaecologist. After collapsing one morning and being unconscious for a few minutes, she was given a blood transfusion to increase her iron and hemoglobin count. This has not helped. She has been advised by the gynaecologist to have a special IUD inserted. This IUD would prevent the heavy blood loss she currently experiences during menstruation. The IUD was to be inserted in February 2002. We have just found out that she is 3 weeks pregnant. I am concerned about her health and cannot loose her. Is abortion wrong for us? We have been advised by the gynecologist that because of her age and her medical condition, she will develop complications. The unborn child could be at risk as well. WHAT DO WE DO. Is the Lord testing our Faith? |
Bible Answer: Dear brother and sister we feel for you and will be praying for you but, remember when you are week He is strong and that he will not give you more then you can bare. I know you probably know this stuff but it at the same time hopefully they will bring some comfort. Remember this before you deside to have an abortion. God is with you through this and if you lean on Him for wisdom He will give it and no matter what whay you go He will allways love you. I am glad I am not in your situation because I do not know what way I would go. But we will be praying for you. |
