Who would take care of these children if they lived? Most likely the mothers made their choices based upon the fact they were young and stupid and made a mistake.

The choice comes when you decide to have sex or not. At some point we all have to admit that it is too late for us to change our mind and try to reverse our decisions. This is another example of our society not wanting to take responsibility for our own actions.

Maybe it's Part of "God's Plan"

If you believe in God, then you are familiar with God’s Plan. "God's plan" is the way that believers traditionally explain things like amputations, cancer, hurricanes and car accidents. Even if something bad happens, it is actually good because it is part of God's plan.

If you have ever seen this book, you know how pervasive the concept of God’s Plan is. The book is called “A purpose driven life.” According to the cover, it is a #1 New york times best seller. It has sold more than 20 million copies.

We find this remarkable paragraph in Chapter 2:

Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death. The Bible says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!" [Psalm 139:16]

There is also this:

Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are, God had a plan in creating you.

And this:

God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything he creates. Every plant and every animal was planned by God, and every person was designed with a purpose in mind.

Under this view of the universe, God plans everything.

If you are a normal, intelligent person, and if you think about God’s plan for more than 30 seconds, you quickly realize that God’s plan is ridiculous, and impossible. Let’s look at four implications of God’s plan.

Implication #1 – God plans all abortions

The book says: "He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death." Let's examine one simple implication of this statement. What this means is that God has pre-planned every abortion that has taken place on our planet.

In addition, the mother who requests the abortion and the doctor who performs it are blameless. Since it is God who planned the abortion of the child (God chose the "exact time" of the death), the mother and doctor are simply puppets who are fulfilling God's plan. You can also see that all the Christians who are fighting against abortion are missing the point. They are actually fighting against God's plan, and their fight is completely futile. God is the all-powerful ruler of the universe, and his plan is for more than a million children a year to die in the United States through abortion. Each one of those abortions was meticulously planned by God, so fighting against abortion is a totally wasted effort.

Implication #2 – God plans all murders

In the same way, if God chooses the "exact time" of death, then all murders are planned by God, and murderers are simply God’s puppets. Murderers are completely blameless.

Implication #3 – God plans many rapes

Since God decided when you would be born, and God knew who your parents would be, It means that every rape resulting in a conception must be part of God’s plan. All of these rapists should be rewarded for fulfilling god’s plan.

Implication #4 – You have no free will and prayer is meaningless

Who will you marry? You have no choice. Your spouse was pre-chosen by God for you so that you would create the children who are a part of his plan. You also have no choice in the number of children you will have -- God has pre-planned their births. Where will you live? God plans that too.

So let's review

Probably not. Therefore, you cannot believe in God’s plan.

It is time for us to state the truth. “God’s Plan” is ridiculous. There is no “plan”. The statement "It is part of God's plan" is one of those meaningless ideas that believers use because they do not think about what they believe. If they would think, and if they would look at the data all around them, they would very quickly realize that God’s plan is impossible and that God is imaginary.

Why is it when topics comes up like gay marriage or abortion or other 'sensitive' topics, religion gets brought into it? Why can't people simply state their opinions without bringing God into it? For example:

"In my OPINION, any form of abortion is wrong. The fetus in that woman's womb is an actual person with a right to live."

"In my OPINION, every child is a blessing. There are a lot of couples who aren't able to have children of their own."

See, that wasn't so hard and I didn't have to bring God into it all because I'm sure He has more important things to worry about than this thread. Oops! I said 'God' and I capitalized the first letter of His name. Oops!

Religion is more of a private matter in my opinion. I am of the Christian faith but I don't go singing my praises from the rooftops when a sensitive topic like this is brought up. Some people say abortion is a woman's right, some say its murder. I say a child has a right to live. Thats just me. It seem like when topics come up like this, everyone seems to have 'found their faith' and must let everyone know about it.

And then, you have, assuming, grown men and women bickering back and forth about something that wasn't even the topic in the first place. Kind of reminds me of the yahoo chat rooms back in the day. This topic went from abortion opinions to religious opinions--and everyone knows that no one wins in religious opinion wars. Move on.

When it comes to abortion, I have this to say: Two wrongs don't make a right.

Yes it is legal in our country but maybe that's the problem. Our laws need to change.

Think about this: Michael Vick. He didn't kill a person. His crime is against animals and he is sentenced to what, 2 years in prison? Yes I agree what he did is wrong but my beef is why does our country protect animal rights over human rights? Little babies in their Mother's womb can feel the pain of being ripped apart. How desensitized and selfish our society has become. We are the "it's all about me generation" me me me.

And the God I serve doesn't plan rapes, murder and all kinds of unspeakable evil. The god who orchestrates that is named Satan and he wants humanity to blame God for everything that's wrong in the world. God has given us free will. He doesn't make us love Him or serve Him. Today you have a choice who you will serve.
