They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. - Psalm 106:37-38
I hear it all the time: why don’t you get off your high horse and stop condemning the Pro-Choice position on abortion? They tell me it’s “the law of the land.” My first thought is always, “You mean the way the law of the land said that liquor was legal, then it wasn’t, then it was . . . again?” The Pro-Choice opinion is now and always has been rife with misinterpreted law: law passed solely with political expediency in mind. “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” - Judges 21:25. How appropriate that this particular verse comes to us via the Book of Judges and that it clearly states that there was no King(God) in Israel = No God in America!
The heinousness of abortion cannot be emphasized enough. It is why the procedure is forbidden to be discussed in “polite company.” Seriously, unless you are in the company of like-minded individuals you will be shut down immediately if you try to talk about what happens to an infant during an abortion. “That’s disgusting!” Some will say, while others in their ignorance will recoil and argue that a “human fetus” is not a person. Yet God sees it otherwise - “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” - Jeremiah 1:5.
Biological science? Is that your preferred method of rational? You mean a form of science that its own proponents readily admit is constantly in flux? Yet somehow the “accepted science” never evolves radically enough to reverse the current and erroneous ideas about when viable life begins. That can only be explained politically because science supports the truth that once an ovum is fertilized by a sperm cell, short of a disease, accident or deliberate murder, life begins!
So the question remains: why do I continually harp upon the mistaken idea that abortion is a woman’s “right” to murder her own child? To the unbeliever it won’t matter. But for the fence-sitting people who claim to believe in God I hope to drive such a wedge of thoughtful distress into your hearts that you must finally, firmly, and unequivocally come to the conclusion that abortion, for whatever else it may be, is just wrong, both morally and ethically! “And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart. ‘Therefore behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room.’" - Jeremiah 7:31-32.
As for you unbelievers? Your advocacy for abortion isn’t your biggest problem; your biggest problem is your unbelief! “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” - John 3:18.
A child must be seen both before birth and afterward as a blessing from God, regardless of the circumstances of conception. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.” - Psalm 127:3. Abortion takes a life anyway you look at it unless you simply close your eyes and choose to ignore it.
Why do I and why should every man and woman who dare call themselves, “Christian,” oppose abortion? “But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’” - Matthew 19:14. Dare any of us deny Christ?
