Children are a blessing from God (Deut. 7:13), and should never be punished--- especially by death--- for their own existence. Not everyone can properly care for children, but all children deserve proper care from someone. Please seek out advice locally for your particular situation, but remember that God wants that baby to live and prosper.

Dear Anonymous: I hope that you have confessed your infidelity to your husband, and that there will be reconciliation between the two of you! It would be wrong to try to cover up the sin by having an abortion, which will ultimately bring more condemnation, guilt and shame that you may already be experiencing! If you have confessed this to God, He promises forgiveness and for you to be cleansed from all unrighteousness! It is never right to take the life of an unborn child, no matter how they were conceived!

King David tried to conceal his adulterous affair with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, a soldier of his army, by having Uriah killed in battle. Then David married Bathsheba to conceal the affair of adultery. The Lord judged David by taking the life of the baby and put the curse on David that the sword would not depart from his house for the remainder of his life. Several of his children were killed by the sword. My advise is this: do not kill the innocent to conceal your sin. Do the right thing and take the responsibility of your actions because you will be a better person for it. It matters not what people think of you; it matters what God thinks of you. You do not want to have a guilty conscience the rest of your life by killing the innocent.
