Is this really love? Abortion is murder! That the baby has a sever birth effet is no reason to kill him!

[mrsauguste]

By the way, I have a friend who tried this approach once and it backfired, because the mother later regretted the abortion. The mother came to see my friend as someone who helped to make possible the deep sense of grief and loss that she now has to live with for the rest of her life. My friend regrets the role she played in her friends abortion. She wishes that she had said, "You don't have have an abortion. I am your friend. I will do everything I can to help you keep your baby."

Next time, why not show a friend who stands for truth in defense of the defenseless, while keeping a friendship intact? That would be far more interesting and respectable.

This is the first video of which I have *ever* clicked dislike on youtube, and I must say, it thoroughly deserved it. Christa, could you possibly be any more passive? RecycleYourFaith, c'mon, you can do better than this.

A healthy baby lives a happy life, a deformed baby lives hell.

Can someone tell me what the Bible says about abortion? I don't want to hear "Taking an innocent human life is wrong under all circumstances." because we all know the God of the bible warrants the taking of lives all over the old testament.

The laws of Moses wait til the baby is born, and then excommunicate the individual if they have any physical deformities. So where does it say that every life is sacred, even those born with horrible diseases?

There is No wisdom, grace, or courage in this humanistic video. Only sadness that a supposed Christ follower joined with her friend to kill a less than perfect baby. Christa chose feelings over truth and abandened her beliefs. This is Not courage, but cowardice!

Craig, Christa, thank you so much for your wisdom, your graciousness, your courage.  You guys are on my LOPWMIPFMTIMAC.

In this video Christa never applied "tough love. Nor did she even communicate God's will which is to "warn those being led to the slaughter". By the way, did Jesus show love and force His biblical principles when He flipped the tables or called Peter "Satan" or when Peter told the Jews that they killed the Messiah??? The "whole counsel of God" belongs here.

...and then after employing the 'tough love' stance, how does one continue the relationship with this friend? How does one continue to have influence and communicate the heart of God? We have no ability - nor should we - to force another into our interpretation of biblical principles. God himself, in his grand design created with the choice to make decisions (free will); we must abide this in the name of respect. Loving someone despite their choices is not the same as agreement.
