The topic of abortion is very personal to me—not just because I am a pastor, but because I myself was not planned. I was conceived as a result of a one-night stand, and could have become another abortion statistic. Thankfully, that did not happen.
My childhood was not easy. I was a reluctant passenger on my mother’s wild roller-coaster ride of marriage and divorce with seven husbands. She would drink to excess every night and pass out. But she did marry one good guy: Oscar Laurie. He didn’t drink, smoke, or party—I don’t know what she saw in him!
The Laurie family crest is the image of a tree stump with growth coming out. The family motto is Repullulat, which means, “It buds afresh.” That describes my life. Its potential was cut down. I was likely to amount to nothing and end up like the notorious sinners in my family. But, by the grace of God, He changed me, and new life “budded afresh.”
God Planned Our Lives Before Birth Though it took me a while to discover it, my life was planned by God:
Psalm 139:13–16 KJV – “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

Excellent article-thank you.
You are absolutely right!
To satan.
Great Read; thank you. Didn’t know Pastor Laurie’s back story.

If you are for the murder of the most innocent among us, you will burn for eternity. Period. Lord have mercy on them because they will need it.
