She doesn't realize she is speaking divine prophetic word-- abstinence is a biblical solution. Even though life tends to happen even if people are practicing discipline because we are Christians. I would take it further though. Personal unblessed behavior/sexuality/ images (without a partner) is a step lower than fornication with a member of the opposite sex, and can best be described as a form of homosexual behavior. My own lacking discipline over the years avoiding sexuality to obey the church and bible, left me without relationships or children. I think it's actually more responsible, and more normal if you're gonna lapse in Christian discipline as a man to at least find a lady even if you are not married, instead of a computer connection. Then at least you will have children when you are older, instead of loneliness. There are a lot of priests, for example who have abstinence imposed on them by their church, who have children. I guess we need to add here-- find an adult woman. And I guess we need to also add, find an unmarried lady.
God sets the highest standards-- if He didn't who would? That's why we are called never to divorce, and called to abstinence. We are also called to keep turning-again to the Lord in repentance when we fall. Obeying the Bibles rules are not optional. Neither is repentance, and admitting falling short of those standards.
Ending your unborn child's life is also not an option that carries with it emotional consequences. Just ask women who have ended their child's life. My own mother of birth, and my mother, I would honor as saints if I was Catholic, and they are saints in my eyes for honoring the sanctity of life, and then raising me.
I mentioned running into my ex-wife the other day. As much as we didn't get along, we gave each other a hug a year later. And she was once Catholic who walked the talk and defended the unborn, and adopted her cousins unborn child who was going to end that life, who finished an honorable military career defending freedom and life in America.
This is what my NLT translation says, which must be an older translation which I'll try to find the source of:
"Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don't stand back and let them die. Don't try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn't know about it." (Proverbs 24; 11&12; NLT).
