What If We've Been Wrong Part 1—David & Bathsheba & Uriah

The Unique Need for an African American Abortion Recovery Program with Sylvia Blakely

African American women have a unique experience with the abortion industry.   About 50% of African American pregnancies end in abortion. In New York City, more Black babies are aborted than born alive.   Why is that?   When we consider the history of how African American women have been treated, we can grasp the complexity of the generational curse.   Sylvia Blakely, herself post-abortive (as I am), recently published an abortion recovery program specifically for African American women…   But it’s a $5 ebook we should all read.   African American history is American history that we all need to discern and discuss.   Let’s break the curse and abortion-proof our children.   Get your Kindle copy here — https://amzn.to/4lE8lYm [https://amzn.to/4lE8lYm]   Or your paperback copy here — https://amzn.to/4cppLnn [https://amzn.to/4cppLnn]   Learn more about Sylvia and Arise Daughter & Arise Artists at https://www.ariseartists.com/ [https://www.ariseartists.com/]   Sign up for notifications of new episodes of Abortion—Changing the Conversation at https://mybodymyworship.com/prolifepodcast [https://mybodymyworship.com/prolifepodcast]   If you’d like to join Amber and other women in writing your pro-life memoir, go to https://mybodymyworship.com/howtowritemystory [https://mybodymyworship.com/howtowritemystory] The links to Amazon are affiliate links.

Abuse & Coercion

Because the media focuses on women’s choice, we often forget just how influential men are on her choice.   Baby daddies are the #1 influence!   Unfortunately, that means that physically and verbally abusive men often coerce women into aborting their babies.   So on today’s episode, Arlene Lehmann, author of Healing Hidden Bruises: How to Recover from the Trauma of Domestic Abuse and Coerced Abortion [https://amzn.to/3CufvfV], joins me to bring awareness of coerced abortions and the role of church leaders and Christian counselors in leading women to healing.

What If We've Been Wrong? Part 2—Dr. Nathanson Disproved His Own Saying

Dr. Nathanson, once known as the Abortion King, was a driving force in the legalization of abortion. He started a saying we often hear from the pro-abortion side today, but after the Roe v Wade decision, Dr. Nathanson asked himself, "What if we've been wrong?"   This episode references Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) and Dr. Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011) and NARAL, which is now Reproductive Freedom for All.   You'll find the workshop description at https://mybodymyworship.com/howtowritemystory [https://mybodymyworship.com/howtowritemystory]

What If We've Been Wrong Part 1—David & Bathsheba & Uriah

What if we've been wrong? When we hear "David and Bathsheba," we think of a story of adultery. What if the David and Bathsheba story is less about adultery and more about how David killed an innocent life to cover up unplanned pregnancy? * 2 Samuel 11 & 12:1-25 David & Bathsheba & Uriah * 2 Sam 23:34, 39 Uriah & Eliam were among The Mighty Men * 2 Samuel 15:12, 31 Ahithophel mutinied * 1 Kings 1: 35, 43-48 David made Solomon king, not Adonijah * John 8:1-11 Woman Caught in Adultery * Leviticus 10:10, Deuteronomy 22:22 Law on adultery & premarital sex * 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is useful * Psalm 51 David's prayer of repentance * Psalm 32 David's prayer of thankfulness & realization of how his choice affected him * statistics from Care Net
