Miss O'hara posted thoughtfully, maybe partial rant, on the sex-crazed WB. She did note that a couple of shows deal with the topic on a more realistic level. Also, she threw in a few of her own thoughts on infidelity or any sex outside of marriage and the damage it does.
Here's part of what she had to say,
Sex outside of marriage rarely, if ever, results in good things. Actually, it doesn't ever, IMHO. Some of those bad things can become good eventually - lessons learned, humility, perhaps a child if it is actually kept instead of (aborted), even a marriage - but extramarital sex is always bad. Most people don't like to say it or admit to it, but I've seen that it's true. Always. I've seen too many bad things happen to say otherwise.In a similar vein, affairs never solve the problems that lead to them. They compound the problems already there.
I also want to make it clear that if in the past you as a man have encouraged a woman to have an abortion the forgiveness of Christ applies to you. If you as a woman had an abortion due to an affair or for any reason, recently or a while ago, the forgiveness of Christ covers you. If you have had an abortion and carried that heavy secret around with you I encourage you to talk that through with someone. Find another to help you move through your shame and grieve the loss of your child.
One resource is CareNet . They have affiliate pregnancy centers nationwide, most of whom have individual and/or group post-abortion counseling. You can call 800.395.HELP(4357) or click on this location finder to see if there is a center near you.
