Life

Today marks a very sad anniversary, the 30th anniversary of Roe v Wade and legalized abortion in America. Abortion is the act of killing an unborn baby. Somehow, abortion-rights activists are celebrating an act that could have ended their lives had their mother "exercised her reproductive rights" and killed them in her womb. I guess that's just something they choose to ignore.

The statistics are not there that say that killing the baby you are carrying ever really saves your life. Nowadays, there's no real condition that cannot be treated so a pregnant woman can carry her baby to a point where he or she can be delivered successfully and in a healthy condition. It's just not an issue these days.

No, abortion has mostly been and will continue to be a form of contraception for the vast majority of those who mistakenly and selfishly make that choice.

No baby is a mistake. To suggest such a thing is to boil down a person's life to a set of arbitrary standards to put worth on them. Though someone may think the baby they are carrying is a mistake, I can tell you God doesn't think so. He's the ultimate judge in that matter. Of course to admit that would mean admitting that there is a God and the need to submit our lives to Him. For most, pride precludes them from making that decision.

We kill babies that cannot defend themselves or speak for themselves, but we'll bend over backwards to stop a convicted criminal from getting a needle in his or her arm or we'll move heaven and earth to "save the whales". Can anyone see the incongruity of that?

Today as this horrendous anniversary is remembered, think of this, if you have children, look at them, smell their hair, kiss their cheeks and think about what your life would be without them. Think of what your life would be without your siblings. And don't tell me that you would never do such a thing, but you would never stop someone else from making that decision. Oh really? What if you saw someone kicking a puppy, would you intervene? Would you speak out against animal abuse? How much more worth does a baby have?

Think about it.

God bless you.

May God forgive America.
