This is very, very important. Women who have had an abortion, or abortions plural, need to know they can be forgiven, before their consciences become seared. I can imagine it is VERY hard to accept forgiveness in this matter. But this should be seen as an opportunity to prove God's great mercy -- for as many women as will accept it.
Good job InfiniteFaith, this is a TRUE mission. Almost everyone today is steeped in grave sin; we can look at it as our doom, or -- which is better -- we can look at it as a chance to honor God by allowing Him to forgive us, and show His mercy really is infinite. The Minor Chastisement will be a time of great weeping for all of us, when we all face what we really are. But we can do it before that.
In a way the most foul sins honor God the most when we throw ourselves on His mercy and ask to be forgiven; because the worse the sin, the more entrenched people tend to become in pride, the more their consciences are blackened. Therefore, it is a greater victory for God if He can pull someone out of that despair.
I was fortunate enough not to participate in an abortion procedure. But there was one night when I vaguely remembered my girlfriend maybe getting a morning-after pill. I don't know if it really happened or the devil put it in my head, but even so, it sent me into a black pit on that night, thinking that my fornication may have sent MY child to limbo. The grossness of my behavior at the time really began to hit me. I can only imagine how bad it is for those who have actually had abortions; and this could be more common among trads than we know.
