Legalized abortion on demand will end ...someday.
Pro-Life supporters can be encouraged because they stand on the high
moral ground. No abomination has withstood time. Eventually, all evil practices
subside and the better part of humanity prevails. The vast majority of the
American people know in their hearts that abortion is wrong and only need the
right amount of motivation to admit it. Recently these pro-abortion folks have
been in the uncomfortable position of defending a wiggling, squirming child
three-fourths of the way outside of the womb being killed by sucking its brains
out. As they have done that, more and more Americans are confronted with the
truth behind abortion. With partial-birth
abortion, for example, they can't hide the baby.
Many have been
mislead by radical feminists and whipped up into a "rights" frenzy to the point
of confusion. But, the day will come that nearly all Americans will no longer
be confused and will understand the truth about this holocaust and will demand
an end to it.
In the days and years following the Roe v. Wade
decision that made abortion legal in the United States, a primary argument of
the pro-abortion supporters was that the baby in the mothers womb was nothing
more than a "blob of tissue." Eventually they conceded that this blob of tissue
was a "potential human." Today, you don't hear that argument much because
they know the truth: it's a baby.
Rather than admit that fact, they have simply shifted their arguments
to one of "rights." You've heard it: "The 'Right' to
Choose."
It's a similar argument to that put forward by slave-holders or
more recently in Nazi Germany by a people who believed they were a superior
race. The argument will be popular for a time while selfish humans bask in
their self-importance. But, the tyranny of "choice" will lead to unspeakable
horrors including, but not necessarily limited to: infanticide, suicide,
mercy-killing, and cold blooded murder. Eventually, life will again become
preferred over death and people will again cry out to be delivered from the pit
they've dug for themselves.
The original plaintiffs in the court cases
establishing abortion rights have switched sides. Medical schools are refusing
to teach abortion to young doctors and there is a growing number of doctors who
do not want to have anything to do with abortion.
One reason for a
shift towards life is that young people are rejecting the ways of their
baby-boomer parents with their permissiveness, hedonism, divorce, secularism,
liberalism and materialism. Another reason is because the majority of Americans
are pro-life, even though they may not articulate it. They are part of what
Spiro Agnew called the "silent majority." But, like the anti-slavery movement
in the 1850s, these people will eventually elect a pro-life President and
pro-life Congress who will banish the ugly practice of abortion.
Christians can be encouraged because not only do they stand on the high
moral ground, but they stand upon the Rock on which all things are subject to.
Jesus Christ will not allow this abomination to continue forever. He will
either bring revival to our land and turn the hearts of the fathers back to
their children or He will suddenly appear in the clouds to judge the living and
the dead.
In the meantime, babies are dying.
- Reasonable people recognize the real choice. It's a choice between life and death.
- Compassionate people are grieved by the mass slaughter of millions of babies and will be moved to do something about it.
- Loving people will reach out to those deceived women to offer hope and will stand in the gap with the babies.
Reason ... Compassion ... Love ... That can be our common ground as we seek to connect with those who identify themselves as "pro-choice."
Pro-choicer's are generally reasonable when they're not being
influenced by the radical feminists - they know it's a baby. They're
compassionate when faced with crisis or are left alone to make their own
decisions free from peer-pressure - they're not murderers. And they are
capable of love when they look beyond themselves to something greater - they
too were created in the image of God.
As for the radical feminist
leaders of this culture of death ... they are following their leader, Satan,
the father of lies. There is no common ground for
them and it is unlikely anyone can connect with them in their present state.
But, we can pray for them and ask God to deliver them from Satan's grip.
Each of us have a voice in this life and death struggle. We can choose
to cower in a corner out of fear or insecurity and remain silent or we can make
our voice heard above the crowd as we proclaim "life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" for all.
Reason, compassion and love demand that we
uphold the rights of the defenseless and save as many babies as we can. No, we
can't save them all - but we can save a few. And who knows, maybe that one we
do save will turn out to be that great Spirit-filled leader who will turn this
country back onto the right path.
