The lucrative industry of Abortion, that operates under the deceptive facade of Family Planning and Women’s Rights, has grown exponentially at the expense of millions of innocent lives. Women are routinely deceived into believing that the baby boys and girls that they carry in their wombs are not truly “human,” but disposable “masses of fetal tissue” that are in no way viable or valuable, except for the advancement of medical science, which is achieved by marketing the bloody “mass” to the highest bidder. While we shudder at the thought of the pagan practice of sacrificing children to an active volcano to appease an angry god, as a nation we turn our heads while greedy marketers and practitioners line their pockets with the proceeds from the slaughter of innocence. Some of the same people who see no evil in this atrocity, shed tears and take up the banner of protest over the destruction of a tree, or the supposed near extinction of a bug. Our reasoning is twisted.
But don’t take my word of it. Read the newspaper and medical journals and industry propaganda, for yourself. And then, if you dare, consider for yourself the words of God, the giver of life. He would have us believe that a child is His gift to human parents—the tender lives of which families are made. “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127:3–5)”
God has made it abundantly clear that the life of a child in the womb is a person, already known to Him. He said of the prophet Jeremiah, “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)” The Psalmist concurs, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (Psalm 139:14–15)
