I do not believe it is my place to tell a woman what to do in regards to a******n. In my opinion, many people misconstrue God's stance on things like a******n, gay rights, homosexuality, etc., and take it upon themselves to play God.
God said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God."
For those who say "God wouldn't want us k*****g children..." I respectfully point out, the Old Testament is full of instances when God said "....slay all of them, and leave none alive, not even their animals or livestock...." It is very complicated for many, but I believe that 'life' (here on earth) is just a temporary plane of existence, and that "real life" begins after God's final judgement upon the world.
God sent His only son Jesus to be "the way, the t***h, and the life" -and to be the ultimate judge of mankind. Jesus teaches above all else, "Love the Lord thy God....and love your neighbor as you love yourself." For me, I don't see anything in Jesus' teaching that says "restrict the rights of others when they don't align with your personal beliefs." // Do you allow your neighbors to tell you what you can or cannot do with your life?
