Lets say something happened.
A girl that happened to live a life similar to Dinah of the bible:
Gen_34:3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
Dinah was loved by another man.
Lets say that "the man" was about 30 years old. Dinah was about 18 years old.
Dinah had never had experience around men before. "The man" that met Dinah had experience in wooing women, however, Dinah didn't "check" his background before allowing him to touch her.....arm....her leg....her what ever you have it.
There was a one-night stand with this man.
After some time, it turns out that "the man" was actually about a second or third cousin of Dinah and she didn't know it. The families lived so far apart on planet earth for so long. Maybe they were both of the middle east decent, like Jewish or Arab. They messed up a bit and had a child together...... Abe and Sarah were -married- even through the condition of being closely related. But Isaac was a promised child.......There goes the incest argument for abortions as being "good" in the eyes of the Lord.....
In Nazi German standards, the child would need to be "aborted" because of their nationality. MIDDLE EASTERN HERITAGE.
In GOD's standards.....like the book of Leviticus, they would need to allow this condition of getting together with close relatives and seeing each other "nakedness" as a bad thing. Hence modesty standards are supposed to prevent these types of things from happening. Anyhow, getting back to the story.
Dinah decided she was going to KEEP the unborn child because of her faith. Will the child survive in the womb? That is the question.
Children with disabilities can come about EVEN with and among couples that are not related at all. It is a condition that passes on since Adam and Eve and is mentioned in the scripture as unborn children that do not see the light of day.
The scenario could go two ways:
1. The pregnancy continues to completion and Dinah WANTS to keep the child alive in the womb. If she was FORCED or TRICKED to abort the child in the womb because of her Middle Eastern Heritage, it would be an act of "genocide."
2. The pregnancy doesn't continue as the unborn child becomes ill. The pregnancy stopped at about 24 weeks into the pregnancy and the unborn child didn't live. Her body was starting to show signs of illness and incapability of carrying the unborn. If she was denied proper MATERNITY CARE because of her Middle Eastern Heritage, it would be an act of "genocide."
*******
By the way there are MANY people in the United States and around the world who have family members that are of Middle Eastern Heritage....a lot of it or a little of it......and some don't know it or really truly acknowledge it. But when Hitler was in POWER.....he set up a system that destroyed ANYONE who looked or acted JEWISH or middle eastern heritage or any other minority group.
*******
So what did this story prove? There is actually VERY LITTLE need to abort children from the mother's womb. The people who do so for "selfish reasons"...... so they can get a better job, education, or career are actually not thinking about how the conditions of humanity actually work in FAVOR of raising children for the LORD. It is TRUE that a woman is NOT the government's property, but the woman's body IS the property of the CREATOR.......and the creator has rules from which to sustain the human life on earth.
Even in cases where the "abnormalities" exist....these children are created to teach us how to "slow down" and pay attention to the condition of our hearts and lives....we are NOT robotic.....we are human. In severe religious persecution countries the "down syndrome" child is not wanted...... but in countries with godly fruits, the down syndrome child is allowed equal access and opportunity......some even open up a coffee shop!
*********
Furthermore, we know that when JESUS was stopping the people from stoning the adulterous woman, he clearly said SIN NO MORE.......so she was responsible to abide by ........Levitical standards....... For these reasons I would support a special "woman's home" that takes care of women who were once in the "sex-trafficking" or "relationship mess" types of lifestyles. These women simply need someone else to tell them that they are not "bad" women for making "bad choices," they are women who NEED "redemption" in order to feel fulfilled in life. Its that simple. The CHOICE to live that way.....is a CHOICE and it doesn't have to control a person. It is like "dieting" or choosing a "special diet"...... stay away from the foods (sexuality practices) that would make a person ill and in social distress. Bible reading, prayer, etc can help alleviate and control these improper behaviors and the fruits of labor that are not of God.
******
What about birth control pills? Should Christian women use them?
Answer: From the beginning GOD made the heavens and the earth and all thing in them.....that INCLUDES the "chemicals" that go into abortifactants....whether natural or man-made substances. If a woman CHOOSES to assume that she can hide her "choices" from the creator, she is actually fooling herself and she will end up reaping what she sowed into her body. So I suggest to TRUST in his redemptive power. Nursing a baby actually heals a woman's body from MANY diseases.
****
What about women who are extremely poor?
There again, money doesn't make a family happy. It is more a factor of how much time and energy you put into your child's HEARTS that matters in the end. Family life is meant to survive many different stress factors, including the stress of bearing the burden of raising a strong healthy family. The fruits of the labor of a faithful woman WILL show up in the next generation and even into the generation following.
Essentially you are "renting" a body which the creator gave you. The "rental instructiosns" are in the HOLY BIBLE. The more you abide by the standards written therein, the less "fines" and "consequences" a woman pays. The more you fail to abide by the standards written therein, the more "fines" and "consequences" a woman pays.

There really isn't any need to be uuuuuber religious about things.
Now follow along in this video..... the couple just "relax" and the pieces to life fall into place. My husband has BLACK hair like the singer in this video. No one would know that except he would have been born (descriptions of birth and appearance of newborns are given in the bible by the way). Singing keeps things moving along so that we are not so afraid of "life"
