carsonfry Unfortunately, there still is a Bible. And during Jesus' time, as well as before and after, human life was as cheap as animal life, where people were killed or enslaved for no reason other than inconvenience or amusement. And that still goes on today, often supported and perpetuated by people who claim to follow Jesus.
If it is "God's decision to end that life, not man," then you should also oppose the taking of human life in other scenarios, such as capital punishment, warfare, and self-defense. If, like most so-called "pro-life" people, you're only interested in preserving fetal life, all we're doing is arguing over which people it's OK to kill.
And while Swindoll's story is interesting, many other people regret having children. The observed drop in crime in the U.S. since the early 1990s may be the result of the unwanted children who were aborted starting in 1973, not being here to prey on the rest of us when they otherwise would have started reaching their prime criminal years in their late teens.
Also, in addition to spelling Swindoll's name incorrectly, you got other details wrong. He was not "the 6th child of a pair of very young Christian parents;" he was the third of three children. So I would question your other assertion that he narrowly escaped being aborted or that his parents thought they couldn't afford him. He grew up in a solidly middle-class neighborhood in Houston, TX.
