Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice

There was a twelve year old girl who became pregnant. She did not know what was happening to her, but she did know she had to tell her mother soon. So, she went to her mother and told her she was pregnant. As you might have guessed, her mother became furious. She scolded her daughter and did not permit her daughter to get an abortion. Her reasoning was that she would not kill an innocent life, because of her carelessness. Then the real question came: Who is the father? Her daughter hesitated, then told her mother the father was her 22 year old half-brother. Knowing that her daughter had been raped for years by her own brother changed the mother's tune about abortion. Not only was her daughter raped, she would be having the baby of her rapist, which was her own brother. I wonder how many people would call a twelve year old rape victim a murder.
As Christians we are very judgemental when it comes to morals. We believe in pro-life but we will give someone the death penalty when we were not there to see the crime being committed to be able to 100% judge whether or not he even did it. We love to look at people and tell them what they should do under certain circumstances, not being to sure as to what we would do if we were in those same circumstances. I would never say abortion is "the way to go". But in the same breathe I can not tell someone what they are doing is wrong, if I am not in their situation.
God gives us a free will as to what we can do in are lives. If we are making the wrong decisions, God does not come down to earth and physically stop us. Instead he informs us of the consequences of our actions. We as a people should focus on ourselves and what we can do to make our lives better, and make our lives and example for others to follow. We can not call ourselves Christians when we are more judgemental, hypocritical, and adulteress then non-believers. Its ashamed when people say "church folk, are the worst folk" but is there some truth is that? You decide.
