Dear Paul and Doves:Presumably at the time or shortly after the abomination of desolation, which is in the middle of the final "week" of years, those in Jerusalem will have to flee for their lives. In Matthew 24:19 we read:"But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! "So it appears that, at least among the Jews, pregnancy and childbirth will continue. No telling what will happen in the non-Jewish part of the world. It would certainly seem just that God would close every womb, since in many Gentile nations we slaughter children. However, I don't believe that Islamic countries abort babies. They are not adverse to strapping bombs on children, or using kids to clear minefields, however.Best,Steve
