Opinion

For example, I don’t believe that children are born because it’s God’s will. I believe that children are conceived because of a fixed law of nature—which is the law of procreation. God created the entire universe and established fixed laws to manage it. He created man and woman, and established the law of procreation for them. He did the same thing with animals and plants.

I don’t see the birth of a child as the fruit of God’s hand; in the same way, I do not see evil as something that comes from Him. Everyone has the right to decide what he wants to do with his life. Whether or not a person should have children is not God’s business, just as He has nothing to do with evil.
This is not even a matter of faith, but of intelligence. How can good and evil come from the same source? That’s impossible. Especially if that source is God Himself!

If God were the one responsible for the propagation of children, I would never discuss abortion. In this case, I’d be radically against it, regardless. But as it’s not the case, I would like to appeal to the intelligence, common sense and, above all, the good will of people.
The fixed law of nature says that whatever HUMAN BEINGS SOW, that they will also reap. If they sow what is good, they will reap what is good; if they sow what is evil, they will reap what is evil. It depends entirely on them.

Now, think about it: Why should we be so concerned about beings that are yet to be formed and neglect those that are alive out there? It doesn’t make sense!

God bless you all!
