This letter concerns abortion but is not about abortion.

The Lord has convicted me to write this letter. I have mulled it over for several days and just have to do it. Please try to read this in the context that it was intended.

In this day and age abortion has become a highly controversial subject. It could be completely eliminated but for the misuse of sexual intercourse. In the Bible God created it for the procreation of the human race, in the confines of marriage, between one man and one woman. It was never designed by Him for freelance recreation or abuse. The human race has turned it into the mess it is in today, thus the “necessity” for abortion. Abortion is being used as a form of birth control to cover up the mistakes humans make. I do not condone abortion, thus this letter.

There are protective measures to stop pregnancy that would eliminate the need for abortion. Sixty million babies have been aborted in this country since 1973. Press Secretary Keyleigh McEnany said it best a few weeks ago: “This is not about a woman’s right to choose. It is about a human being’s right to live.”

Will this letter stop abortion? NO! Will it make someone stop and think? I pray so! Will it save a life? MY ULTIMATE GOAL. God Bless.

P.S. — For those individuals or couples that have gone through an abortion, and now regret it, God has a path of forgiveness, it’s called repentance and is available to all.
