 PrintableVersion What is going on in Christian crisis pregnancy counselling?Baby’s on the wayWHAT IS GOING ON IN CHRISTIAN CRISIS PREGNANCY COUNSELLING? Some commendable aspects of this demographically convincing, tightly-presented work are the ready references to verifiable, credible source material. South African-trained Dr. Williams’s record for objective, incisive integrity is such that this work should be read by all involved in the ‘holocaust’ of our wretched abortion system. Around 700 abortions per weekday is part of the culture of this country, less than 1% of them for seemingly valid medical or social reasons. A government plan covering some 14 years to reduce the conceptions of under-16-year-olds by 50% has clearly failed; recorded conceptions increased by 2% last year apparently. This concise treatise is therefore essential reading for all involved in the related disciplines of crisis counselling including psychology, the humanities and politics. Sadly, these disciplines appear to have gone so far down the spurious ‘safer sex’ route, I predict they will dismiss the unborn as non-human beings. The author observes that supporters of CARE would find it difficult to justify from Scripture CARE’s stance for the programme they offer to schools. Dr. Williams castigates CARE for presenting a programme almost identical to the secular approaches, conditioning young people to experiment sexually (though they are doing valued caring work with teenage unmarried mothers). Copies of this book would provide impetus for ‘healthy’ and perhaps heated debate through school libraries and universities. The Christian church appears to be doing more pregnancy counselling — is it consistent with biblical standards? Interference with conception is contrary to God’s precepts. If you, the reader, construe the life of every human being as not dispensable if inconvenient, and to be precious from conception in God’s eyes, I warmly recommend that you read this short book, especially chapter 5, which discusses the absence of morality and integrity of relativism. If you seek a biblical view of abortion, refer to chapter 6. If you believe that to purposely destroy human life in its mother’s womb, with malice aforethought, as intentional killing and therefore a monstrous act, a crime, you should examine Dr. Williams’s objective concerns and decide whether you should raise a clarion call as well.
