Oldest Mother Regrets Abortions The woman known as the world's oldest mother says she regrets having had two abortions when she was young and now says she regards abortion as murder. Adriana Iliescu, a 66-year-old Romanian woman, gave birth to a baby girl earlier this month after undergoing nine years of fertility treatment, according to BBC. She told Britain's Sunday Telegraph that she became pregnant twice in her early 20s during a four-year marriage and had two abortions at that time. "I got married when I was only 20 and still a student," she told the Telegraph. "My husband was also still a student at the atomic physics university back then, and the marriage didn't last long. We divorced four years later. In that time I had two pregnancy terminations - it was the normal thing back then and the accepted form of contraception. If there is anything I regret then it is those terminations, not having a baby now. "Religion was not a big part of many people's lives and I had never had any religious education, I believed the party line that a fetus is only considered a life when it is older than three months." Mrs. Iliescu said she "discovered religion" after her marriage and is now Romanian Orthodox. She believes that, after decades of hoping for a child, her daughter's arrival had divine sanction, the newspaper reported. "During this time I never gave up my faith in God and in the power of trying to realize one's dreams," she said. She added that she regretted the abortions, which she said were then seen as an accepted form of birth control in Romania. "In those days I would never have thought of a termination as murder as I do now," she told the Sunday Telegraph. Mrs. Iliescu, a retired university professor and author of children's books, spoke of her immense joy when her baby was born five weeks early, after she underwent nine years of fertility treatment. "It was the happiest [moment] in my life. She grabbed my finger with her tiny hand and held it - it was a gift from God," she told the newspaper. |

We believe in the rapture, we believe there is a hell eternal, we believe to be absent from the body is to be present with YAHUSHUA, also named in Greek JESUS CHRIST. Seventh-Day Adventists believe the lie of soul sleep. Remember the thief hanging on the cross who, because he believed on Him, was told by YAHUSHUA, "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43, KJV) We know that Prophecy did not cease with Ellen G. White and Seventh-Day Adventists believe in Ellen G. White as the only prophet for today, though she is dead and what she prophesied did not come to pass. We believe in Keeping the true Sabbath, for it is the 4th commandment, but we don't believe it takes the place of the saving blood of YAHUSHUA (JESUS CHRIST). |
