I can break down almost every issue with today youth to two things. No dad or uninvolved parents.
Please don't think I agree with her choices. I do not. I value every child, every life.
Ask yourself, how stupid was I at 18.
I wonder if it was a full term baby.
“My Free Republic friends, I ask you to pray for this child. Many of us have the gift of age and with it wisdom. This girl screwed up huge. But ask yourself this, where are the parents. Think you could carry a baby to term without your mom knowing ?”
Should we pray for every 18 year old “child” that murders others and attempts to cover-up their crime, or are there things about Brooke Skylar that make her special and worthy of our prayers?
Should we also pray for all the other 18 year old “children” who may have uninvolved parents and murder on the streets of Chicago, Detroit or New Orleans?
Not stupid enough to murder my newborn. This is horrible. RIP to the baby.
I’ll pray that she repents and accepts the forgiveness found in Christ.
But, assuming these accusations are true, she’s still a murderer.
Agree, but your leaving out one important component, an abortion culture that leads the weak minded to the next logical step - rationalizing a justification for infanticide.
In this way abortion is like a gateway drug, and it works that way even without ever having an abortion yourself, because it’s in the culture and therefore infects the minds of all but those who diligently guard against it.
I was really, really stupid at 18. I would like to say that I was merely stupid, not murderous, but I honestly can’t. I didn’t recognize that abortion = violating the image of God. I never concerned myself with details - knowing about heart and brain development, the ability to feel pain, etc.. The less I knew, the more convenient.
Having said all that, I feel just outraged that this _____ felt no shame about having casually given her body away to be consumed by someone who didn’t love her. Neither did she feel shame about being pregnant. No, Brooke would’ve been embarrassed to have a living baby. That’s all, and so, like Ohio sorority sister Emile Weaver, she killed the baby.
I realize that it’s my disgrace that forgiveness doesn’t come easy to me. I’m working on it.
