Why Not Love?

I want to dive into something here.  It's a sensitive topic for some.  But I want to share some thoughts I have on it.

I reserve the right to be wrong.  But this is where I've landed.  For now.

I have reason to believe that the premise of Christianity is to love God and to love people.  There is also a huge emphasis on going to heaven to be with Jesus.  It is also to spread a message of salvation, repentance, and to profess a belief in Jesus.  All the while bringing hope to the world.  It is not in my knowledge that a Christian is led to shame, guilt, harass, heckle, annoy, or show hate to anyone.

I also have reason to believe that most Christians would agree that aborted babies go to heaven.  Because if you think that God would send an aborted baby to hell, you are some special kind of sick and twisted...and so is the God you believe in and worship.  So in this scenario, one of the primary goals of Christianity is taken care of.  Heaven.

So moving forward with the premise that a Christian's primary focus is to love people and that aborted babies go to heaven....where do we go from there?

I think it's safe to say that most people, Christian or not, don't want abortions to happen.  But they do.  Unwanted pregnancy's happen.   What would make this predicament easier for all those involved?  I find it hard to believe that shame, guilt, harassment and a general lack of empathy and compassion for a woman or couple facing an abortion decision or recovering from a decision to abort would help the situation in the least bit.  EVEN if it goes against everything you believe, what benefit would come from belittling someone instead of showing them love, patience and understanding?   I'm having a hard time finding any benefit from that tactic.

Guess what?  You could swap out abortion for homosexuality, transgenderism or Muslims and anything else of the sort you can think of.
