Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 I find it interesting that, just as abortion is being discussed on this list, I receive an email from a nondevotee online friend who I always thought to be very spiritual and so I would preach to her a bit. So I am in a bit of shock when she wrote to me today and informs me, "My teenage daughter has been causing great trouble and now she is pregnant. We are scheduled for an abortion next week." I wrote back and tried to discourage her by pointing out the psychological termoil some have gone thru later in life after haivng an abortion, as I knew she would not listen to straight-on preaching about this, but she tells me it is not being forced on the daughter and she wants to "support" her in her choice. This is her granddaughter/son she is aborting! Her belief is that nothing is really harmed and that it would not be "spiritual" to think otherwise. <sigh> But what surprises me more is that here I am on a Vedic elist and some are in favor of abortion right here! In the Vedic literature, there is never ever ever ever never NEVER acceptance of such a practice. If one does not accept the Vedic literatures as an Absolute Truth, than there is nothing more to discuss. But for those who do, abortion is never allowed. A life is a life. I do not say this lightly. I know it is not easy to raise a child, but who would have wanted their own mother (or father!) to have aborted them? So please, let us not allow this kali yuga consciousness and misunderstanding to cross over into this list. Tho that is only a suggestion. I do wish, though, that someone would answer the astrology questions from my previous email. <g> Yogini Find the best deals on the web at AltaVista Shopping! http://www.shopping.altavista.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
