Dear Editor,

Abortion is a must when it’s necessary. No matter what we do or may say, when the right time comes for an abortion to take place, we just have to do what is best.

The late, great (and one of the most righteous men ever lived) Dr Billy Graham was asked to give his view on abortion.

He said that if a woman is raped (I paraphrase) or if her life is in danger in giving birth to a child, abortion should be carried out.

We need to come to a national agreement and also a spiritual agreement on these two “if causes”.

1) If a woman’s life is in danger or will be in danger when birth time is near, then we will give the go-ahead for an abortion.

2) If a woman is raped and she gets pregnant, we will allow her to abort the fetus — especially if it’s her wish.

God does not condemn anyone. The vilest sinner can sincerely ask for forgiveness, and he or she will be forgiven. And so it is with a woman who is pregnant for her father or whomever.

And also, if her life is in danger in giving birth to a child, and she chooses to abort the child, God will forgive her if she asks Him to.
