As I said a moment ago, the legalization of Mifepristone made
it even easier for young teenaged pregnant girls to obtain an
abortion, without the knowledge or consent of their parents.
As a direct result of the tragic death of eighteen year old
Holly Patterson in California in September of 2003, a bill,
commonly referred to as Holly's Law, but legally known as the
RU-486 Suspension and Review Act, was proposed in Congress in
2003 by U.S. Representatives Jim DeMint and Roscoe Bartlett,
and Senator Sam Brownback. The explicit purpose of the bill
was to further review, and in fact to ban, the use of RU 486
in the United States. Sadly, to date, this bill continues to
languish in the U.S. Congress. In their public letter, Monty
and Helen Patterson, Holly's parents, described what happened
to their young daughter as a "conspiracy of silence". If you
would like to read their full letter, please go to this URL:

In spite of the clear, undeniable health threats which are
presented by RU 486, Dr. Cynthia Summers, a spokeswoman for
Danco Laboratories, the pharmaceutical company that produces
and distributes Mifepristone in the United States, had the
audacity to state "We believe our drug is not to blame". It
is totally unbelievable that this woman would even make such
a preposterous claim, in light of overwhelming evidence. To
add injury to insult, as of this date, in spite of the risks
that Mifepristone presents to pregnant girls and women, it
is still legally available in all fifty states, as well as
in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the American
territory of Guam.

To help you to fully understand the irony of using abortion
pills, consider the following. Whenever we read news reports
regarding instances where a particular nation resorts to the
use of biological or chemical warfare against another nation,
we are horrified and appalled. Suddenly, there is a flood of
talk regarding genocide and crimes against humanity. We saw
this happen in such cases as the trials of Slobodan Milosevic
and Saddam Hussein, both of whom are now dead. Yet, strangely
enough, at the same time, for almost two decades, (depending
on where you live), an unspoken war, and in fact, a secret
war against life has been waged, in which millions of unborn
children have been cruelly slaughtered in cold blood through
the use of chemical agents; that is to say, abortion pills
such as Mifepristone. Why does the world condemn dictators,
yet ignore similar evil tactics when they are used against
the unborn? Do you see something seriously wrong with this
picture? Abortion pills amount to secret chemical warfare
against the unborn. Period.

As we have already seen, while birth control proponents claim
that using some form of birth control reduces the number of
pregnancies, statistical evidence points to the fact that the
exact opposite holds true. Furthermore, as I have also noted,
these same people fail to mention the fact that relying upon
birth control encourages widespread promiscuity, which leads
not only to more pregnancies, but also to more opportunities
for sexually-transmitted diseases to propagate. So in a word,
whether we are discussing abortion or birth control, the end
results are still the same, and the exact opposite of what
both birth control and abortion advocates are claiming.

Considering the harm that certain forms of birth control do
to a woman's body,  whether it is through inserting some kind
of physical object deep into her vagina, or through taking a
questionable chemical agent, I personally find all of it very
unsettling, repugnant and morally unacceptable. The Lord made
a woman's body so that it follows a natural monthly cycle. By
introducing artificial chemicals into her body, she's in fact
interrupting that natural cycle, causing who-knows-what kind
of damage to herself. Personally, as a man, I simply do not
feel that I have the right to ask a woman to take that kind
of risk. I will admit that on one occasion, not quite twenty
years ago, I did make such a request under a very unique set
of conditions; however, I will never do it again. In fact, I
seriously doubt that such an opportunity will ever present
itself again in my life anyway. The reason for this is quite
simple. I have been single, as well as a practicing celibate
for the past seventeen years by my own personal choice.

My belief is that the only morally-acceptable way to refrain
from having any children, is by totally abstaining from sex.
You cannot do this if you are not single. If you are married,
then obviously, as the Apostle Paul tells us in his Epistles,
you are obligated to meet the sexual needs of your partner,
even if you do both agree to abstain from a sex for a time.
Please refer to some of my other articles if you wish to know
more about my views regarding this issue.

It should be very obvious to you, the reader, by now, that I
possess very strong feelings regarding the issues of birth
control and abortion. I have arrived at my conclusions after
years of serious contemplation, and I have strived to examine
these issues from different angles, in order that I might be
able to present a well-rounded discussion via this series. In
order to make this discussion complete, there are still a few
more issues which we must examine. One question which we have
yet to address is the following: Is it possible that certain
unique situations may exist where abortion may be permissible
in God's eyes? In other words, do situations exist where God
might be willing to extend His mercy, be more understanding
of our condition, and even overlook our human frailties, even
if those situations are a result of our own mistakes or maybe
the mistakes of others? As I have always taught, our God is a
God of love, patience and mercy, and not just a God of wrath
as some critics like to assume. I am reminded of these Bible
verses:

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not. They are new every
morning: great is thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23, KJV

"Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth
them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth
that we are dust."
Psalms 103:13-14, KJV

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance."
2 Peter 3:9, KJV

In thinking about the previous questions, the first unique
situation which comes into my mind involves the atrocities
that are committed against women who are victims of sexual
violence and abuse. In many parts of the world, incest and
rape have become a serious problem as individuals seek to
fulfill their sexual fantasies and desires. This problem is
not helped in the least by a liberal entertainment industry
which does everything in its power to glamourize sexuality,
as if it is the most important thing in life, when it most
certainly isn't. But regardless, this constant pumping out
of sexual fare only serves to awaken our basest instincts.
From movies, to magazines, to videos, to online porn sites,
to mass emails, to television, it seems that raw sexuality
is thrown in our faces at every opportunity. As a result of
this never-ending stream of hyper-sex, we now have people
who want to look good, feel sexy, and be sexy, even with
young girls and women who aren't the least bit interested
in their sexual advances. We've created a super sexed up
society.

Some people, even Christians, have suggested that under such
traumatic conditions, that is, rape and incest, where a baby
is conceived without a woman's will or consent, and where a
woman is stripped not only of her clothes, but also of her
dignity, abortion might be a justifiable option. The people
who favor abortion in these types of cases insist that it is
unfair to force a young girl or woman to endure a pregnancy
which wasn't the result of a true act of love, but rather a
violent act of beastial pleasure. Young girls and women who
are victimized in this way often feel humiliated, dirty and
ashamed, even though they realize that the attack was not
actually their fault, at least in some cases.
