The abortion issue is in the news, so today Megan chats about her stance on abortion, why she’s pro-life both Biblically (as a Christian), scientifically and as a pregnant mom to be. She also talks about what pro-life people and Christians are doing to care for life OUTSIDE the womb with things like foster care, pregnancy clinics, etc. And lastly, she talks about the heart of compassion we should have and that GOD has for women who are in the middle of making this decision and who have made the decision to abort.

You’ve probably experienced that sometimes, maybe oftentimes, God says “no” to our prayers. Sometimes it can be about something little or admittedly superficial. Sometimes it’s about something we’ve gotten on our knees and WEPT over. It can be hard to settle with that no. Today, we’re talking about how to deal with and even be thankful for God’s “no”.
