Some people attempt to justify abortion for a variety
of reasons, including:
Inconvenience -
along with the baby comes sleeplessness, giving up your life to
raise someone
That is what your mother did for you. She did not have
you aborted, she raised you and sacrificed a lot so you could live.
Incompetent Parents
- If the child will not be loved, then it is better for that child not to be
born.
Instead of killing a baby, you have it adopted. Which
is best: to kill your child or to give it to someone else?
The baby has disabilities
- If the child comes out with severe mental or physical disabilities.
Put the baby in child care that has people that
specialize in taking care of babies with disabilities.
It is the woman’s body -
it is her body, so she should be able to make the choice to have an abortion.
It is her body, but it doesn’t mean it is right to
kill the baby inside her womb. The baby is not a part of the mother’s body but another
human being, a gift from God.
Rape or Incest -
A woman has the right to an abortion if she has been raped or has been involved
in incest.
Why not just have the baby adopted? Why punish the
baby for the crime committed by the father? The baby is innocent, though the
father is guilty and both are guilty for those who are involved in incest. You
never take the life of an innocent child.
Financial reasons
- Someone who does not have money is unable to care for their own child and themselves.
Why kill the baby when the government has the child’s
welfare?
The Bible says that God
made us according to His image and likeness. Abortion is the death
of an unborn human being made in God’s image and is valuable to God.
So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
Genesis 1:27
KJV
Taking an unborn
baby’s life is wrong according to God’s Law, "Do not murder."
Thou shalt not kill. Exodus
20:13 KJV
God knows us before he forms us in the
womb. He covered and fashioned us all in our mother’s womb, fearfully and
wonderfully made. He knows us all intimately.
Before I formed
thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jeremiah 1:5
KJV
For thou hast
possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise
thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and
that my soul knoweth right well.
Thine eyes did
see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were
written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of
them.
Psalm 139:13,14,16
KJV
God hates those who shed innocent
blood, which includes abortion. Killing especially to the innocent is wrong.
Cursed he/she that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.
A proud look, a
lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 6:17
KJV
Cursed be he
that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
Deuteronomy
27:25 KJV
God is the giver of life and commands us not to take
the life of an innocent person. Taking the life of the unborn is clearly
murder, and God will punish those who rip open women with children.
Thus saith the
Lord; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will
not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women
with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
Amos 1:13 KJV
The unborn child was granted equal protection under
the law. If somebody hurts a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely,
but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined; but if there is a
serious injury, he/she shall be surely punished.
If men strive,
and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no
mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband
will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Exodus 21:22
KJV
Life is a gift from God and should not be taken away
by abortion. Babies in the womb are not just lumps of tissue. Biblically as
well as biologically, you and I are unique human beings from the moment of
conception and have life even inside our mother’s womb.
And it came to
pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her
womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Luke 1:41 KJV
Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord. Each life is special and is of great value to God,
yet our tiniest children, boys and girls, in the womb are being slaughtered
through abortion. Do not think that if you remain silent at this time, you will
escape God's judgement. You have the ability, power and duty to end abortion
now in this nation.
Lo, children
are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm 127:3 KJV
God is holy and will
judge every one of us. There is hope for our nation, and there is hope for you,
but it can only be found through repentance and believing in the death, burial,
and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times
of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:19 KJV
Jesus Christ ever lives
and intercedes for He has the power to save us all from the wrath to come
through His atoning work on the cross of Calvary and His glorious resurrection.
His precious bloodshed on the cross will cleanse you from all your sins. Please
read the Bible daily and ask God to help you obey what you read.
Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25
KJV
Blessings in Christ.
David & Gay
