Respect Life

God’s word says, “But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts, I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly” (Psalm 22:9-10).

"Since 1973, over 45 million legal abortions have been performed in the United States.” When the Constitution was signed, it read that the people would have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Our Nation was founded on Christian principles, “One Nation under God.”

God cares about life and he cares about the unborn. Yet, as I did my research on Wikipedia, the biggest reason that people (25.5%) gave for having an abortion is that they wanted to postpone childbearing. And the next biggest reason (21.3%) was that they couldn’t afford a baby.

Isn’t it sad that the baby, who is a human being, a living breathing life, had no choice? The word of God says, “Thou shalt not murder,” but unfortunately a baby in the womb has been reduced to something equivalent to a “blob of cells”“nothingness,” not a baby, with a beating heart.

There is no excuse for taking the life of another human being and God’s word says that he knew our name before we were even conceived. His word is clear. What choice will you make? Make the right one, won’t you? Abort means to “terminate before completion.” An innocent baby has the right to “complete” his life the way God intended it.

Don’t abort an innocent baby. Get a sonogram and see that the baby inside of you is a living, breathing, human being, blessed by God, before they were even conceived. And he is the giver and taker of life, there is no other like him. He brought us into the world and only he can take us out, by the stroke of his mighty hand.

If you are reading this and have had an abortion, you must know that God can forgive an act of abortion, but only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins.

If you repent and ask Him to forgive you through Jesus Christ, our intercessor, he will. And then you must turn from your sin and live for Jesus, who atoned for your sin when He died on the cross and said, “It is finished.” Say no to abortion. Don’t believe the lie. A baby is a life, even in the womb. Respect life, won’t you?
