In Defense of the Indefensible

In Defense of the Indefensible

A plague upon our society today is that we do not have a respect for human life. Even as our justice system goes to great length to bring to justice those who kill, still a segment of our society permits the slaughter of life as yet unborn. What excuse is there to reach into the womb and destroy a life given by and for the love of God? God Himself commanded that we shall not kill. Yet within our legal system we bless it. We hide under a deceitful argument of when life actually begins. One day, one month or several months, who is to prove other that life begins at conception. Because it has yet to form into a recognizable body does not mean it is not a separate living being.

People grow in our society questioning why they should care who lives or dies if we are willing to end their lives at its most innocent state. What is the difference between the unborn and the born? Should we change our law to state a parent my abort their child up to the age of 18? What would be the difference other than they’ve made a bad investment? If a child is more than we care to be burdened with why not terminate it before it reaches adulthood? Why only accept this practice for the yet unseen? We wonder how people in our society, in our world can be so heartless to rob the life of another and not feel the least amount of remorse. Because in truth our society permits the killing of innocents and in truth there is no difference once they are born.

Abortion is permitted not because of rape or incest, unplanned or unwanted? It is permitted because of our selfish nature. We want to live our lives doing as we please seeking all the pleasure we can gain without being weighed down with the responsibility of our desires. We want to dance but we don’t want to pay the fiddler. It is not a woman’s or a man’s right to decide to have an abortion. The unborn have rights too and they are not to be discarded by the decisions of others. Yes I even have troubling thoughts when the life of the mother is at risk. But then and only then will I bend on my belief that abortion is a plaque that all of us will be held accountable for.

It is our responsibility as part of the community, as a part of Hillary’s Village, as one who supports abortion through forced taxation, to do our very most to protect the rights of the unborn. Their right to a chance at life, their right to seek God and to live within His will. Our government permits abortion in our land yet the ruling majority opposes it. How is it that we would allow the lusty and selfish few tarnishing us all? This battle has been going on sense 1973 and I praise God that my parents protected my right to life and bore the responsibility of my birth. I praise God that your parents also did the same. I also pray that someday that all parents will. That would truly be Planned Parenthood not operating abortion clinics.

The question is very simple to me and the answer is found in Exodus 20:13, “You shall not murder.” Apparently this simple law is not so simple for man to abide in. Since the fall of man we have been trying to rationalize wrong behavior into right behavior and of course this cannot truly be done. So the answer has simply been to be rejecting God’s law and instill our own. So I have to ask does this bring peace, justice, and love into our lives? The answer can be clearly seen, as man does not abide in God’s law written in love he abide in his own law written in greed and hate. Does this wisdom born of man within himself become more correct than God’s law born from the knowledge and wisdom to create all that there is? Again the answer is clearly seen. The law of God is all truth and all men are held accountable to God’s law. (Rom 3:19) I pity those who do not accept the abundant grace of God towards man in their lives. 

Man is even incapable to determine when life begins. Some would consider that life does not begin before birth, so what is that movement inside the womb? If that life belongs to the woman would that not be the same as cutting off the leg? The truth is life began before the womb (Jer 1:5) and responds even while in the womb. (Luke 1:41) What is the right of a woman or man to judge if one has a right to live or should be put to death? And are those who think they are ready to face the consequence of the same measure of their judgment? (Mat 7:2) Those of us who believe in the age of accountability would say that the unborn are then are Christian martyrs crying to the Lord for his judgment upon all of us who submit to the weakness of man’s unjust law against them. (Rev 6:10)  

God created us for His glory and the chief end of man is to glorify God. Whatever we speak we should speak as an utterance from God, whoever serves should do so in the strength that God supplies, so that in all things we do we may bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. Then what ever we do, eat, drink, work, play, and worship should be designed to bring glory to God. (1 Pet 4:11 1 Cor 10:31) In American we perform 1.6 million abortions per year. (http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html) Is this how America, who has abundantly been blessed by God’s grace, glorify God? That is a lot of judgment we are bringing against ourselves from God almighty who is just and will bring His judgment. 

The trouble is we are so blind to His truth that we no longer fear God. We think we are invincible and take refuge in our military might but that too shall pass away for Babylon will fall in an hour. (Rev 18:10) We foolishly fear that which can kill the body but we should fear that which judges the spirit for all the spirits of men is eternal. (Mat 10:28) The Lord God is not slow in His judgment but is patient and long suffering on our behalf. He is not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance and come to a saving knowledge of his free gift of salvation through His Son by His grace. (2 Pet 3:9 Eze 13:32) Do not be deceived by the false reasoning of this world, “You shall not murder.” The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Mat 3:10-12) 

I can only say what Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Lord and Savior, has warned to us all, “repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Mat 4:17)
