Some people really freak out when they hear of cases like this one, where parents (who happen to be Jehovah’s Witnesses) tried to prevent doctors from giving their little girl an infusion to save her life, or another one (and yet another), where parents preferred prayer over medical treatment and thus caused their child to die. And, to be completely honest, I am appalled by such cases too. But I fear there might be too many who think Christianity is to blame.

Then, interestingly enough, the same people who are constantly finding fault with Christianity are perfectly OK supporting abortions. To them, this a ”moral choice” and a “responsible” one, too (even though it follows an irresponsible action), as if the killing of an unborn baby was a totally different issue. You know - as if the baby had never been alive!

As a Christian, I think our life is one of the most precious gifts from God. And I believe in the power of prayer. But I also believe, God doesn’t need to work miracles if he’s already provided us with a different way of solving the problem (e.g. developments in medicine), which we prefer to overlook. So, don’t blame God; blame people.

At the same time, I think abortionists got it wrong too. They kill when there’s no (objective) reason to kill. But I wonder how many of these great pro-choice minds (and mouths) wouldn’t mind if their parents (or mothers, at least) had aborted them. (Now, that’s a thinker.) And I wonder what the world would look like now, with all the “friends of abortion” forever faded into oblivion.
