What Is Abortion?
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.” —Psalm 139:13
Today is the March for Life, the world’s largest pro-life event. Monday, January 22, 2018, will mark the 45th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court decision in Roe v Wade to legalize abortion.
Those who continue to fight legislation restricting abortion are in reality not "pro-choice." Rather, they are singularly "pro-murder." While rhetoric has served to camouflage the carnage of abortion, it remains the painful killing of an innocent human being.
First, abortion is painful in that the methods employed to kill a preborn child involve burning, smothering, dismembering, and crushing. And such procedures are executed on live babies who have not been specifically anesthetized.
Think and pray about this.
Furthermore, abortion involves killing. The zygote, which fulfills the criteria needed to establish the existence of biological life (metabolism, development, the ability to react to stimuli, and cell reproduction), is terminated. In Woman and the New Race, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger tacitly acknowledged this point when she wrote: "The most merciful thing a large family can do for one of its infant members is to kill it."
Think and pray about this.
Finally, abortion kills innocent human beings. The child who is terminated is the offspring of human parents and has a totally distinct human genetic code. Although the emerging embryo does not have a fully developed personality, he or she does have complete personhood from the moment of conception. Thus, far from deserving capital punishment, these innocent humans deserve care and protection.
Think and pray about this.
