Abortion

Psalms 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁴I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. ¹⁵My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, ¹⁶your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Abortion is the killing of human life in its mother’s womb.  It is not part of the woman’s body, and a short time after conception it has its own heartbeat and circulatory system.  To justify abortion under the pretense of a right to privacy defies logic in that it justifies killing as a privacy right.  Who can forget the photo of the 21 week (after conception) old baby that was operated on in its mother’s womb?  The photo shows a tiny hand holding on tightly to a doctor’s finger and is a devastating indictment of the abortion culture.   Not many people have seen this photo due to the liberal pro-choice leaning of the main stream media which ignored it and even directed one journalist not to show it.  This particular journalist resigned over the censorship.  This photo can be easily found on the internet.  Most liberal political leaders overwhelmingly supports abortion, including the ghastly partial birth abortion procedure which kills a baby that is partially born.  The most recent president (Bill Clinton) vetoed the bill banning this procedure.  President George Bush finally signed the law after he took office.  When John Kerry made the statement that he wants abortion to be, legal, safe, available, and rare, it was obvious that he realized it is wrong.  Why should it be rare if nothing is wrong with it?  It certainly has not been rare as millions of abortions have been performed since it became legal.  While God has ordained whatsoever comes to pass, he is not the author of the sin.  He has given people free will and allows them to sin, including the sin of abortion… This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live (Deuteronomy 30:19).
