Why is my mum doing this?

My sister is pregnant. And she is like my best friend. She told my parents the other day and they seemed really relaxed about it considering they are strong christians and so am I. My mum begun getting excited and accepted it.. Now all of a sudden she told me she wants my sister to have it terminated.. I feel really shocked and broken that this has come out of my mums mouth because she would never have an abortion. I know my sister is only 19 and hasnt yet planned a future with her boyfriend, she wants to keep it and I want her to keep it.. Im scared my mum will try and talk her into getting it terminated and I know its not my decision but I feel really broken about it all :/ does anyone know any bible verses about abortion I can remind my mum of, I dont know whats gotten into her :( x

Answer #1

Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? (Job 31:15).

Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother’s breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God (Psalm 22:9-10).

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:13-16).

This is what the LORD says—he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you…(Isaiah 44:2).

Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you (Isaiah 46:3-4).

And now the LORD says—he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength (Isaiah 49:5).

The word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:4-5).

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy” (Luke 1:41-42, 44).

You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13).

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked (Psalm 82:3-4).

Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done? (Proverbs 24:11-12).

Answer #2

Let your mom know that all children are God’s child and you wouldn’t want to kill one of God’s children. I hope this help and I hope everything goes good for you sister!

Answer #3

Do not let your mom have this decision as he own. This is your sister’s CHILD. A real human being growing inside her. Do not let your mother kill your niece. Its not your mom’s decision! Don’t kill this baby. It did not ask to be brought into this world, your sister is the baby mom. She is a mother now. This is her child. Her baby. Do not kill it.

You need to talk with your sister and remind her that this is an actual human being inside of her, growing. She is the baby’s mother. People often forget this when they want an abortion.

Don’t kill one of god’s creations.

Answer #4

you should tell your mom exactly how you feel, or print this question out that you wrote and show her it so she knows exactly how you feel, she would understand :)

Answer #5

This is your sister’s decision. Remind your mom that. It’s her baby, her choice.
