PRO-CHOICE IS PRO-DEATH!
Have you ever wondered what became of all the “grave yards” that existed years ago? We don’t have them anymore. They’ve all become “memorial gardens.” The same thing has happened to “junk yards” and “garbage dumps,” they no longer exist. In their place has arisen “recycling facilities” and “land fills.” It’s so much easier to think about that which is morbid, gruesome, filthy and foul if we think of it in more pleasant terms. But a hog cooling off in a pond and eating supplement does not change the fact that it’s still wallowing in the sludge and eating slop.
The political correctness of the day wants to speak of the systematic killing of human infants/babies while still in the womb (between the ages of one day through nine months) as “abortion.” In politics, the practice has been termed “pro-choice.” It seeks to hide the fact that what is involved is infanticide — the slaughter, killing, murder of innocent human beings by the millions! It is done in a variety ways using the most gruesome and inhumane methods imaginable.
An expectant mother is considered to have the “right” to do with her body as she chooses, in this case, killing her child. What she fails to consider is that the baby is NOT her body! It is another living human being. The proponents of abortion call it “pro-choice.” This is done to make the practice more appealing and less appalling. Pro-choice sounds so much better than killing or murder.
Pro-choice is the same as PRO-DEATH. It says that an expectant mother is free to choose to kill her unborn child or to let her baby boy or baby girl live. She has the option to kill her son or daughter just about any way imaginable. Some of the most horrific (grossly offensive to decency or morality) and dreadful (exceptionally bad or displeasing) means have been invented to take the child’s life.
Since the baby is yet unborn, it’s out of sight (can’t been seen except via sonogram). And, being “out of sight,” it’s easier to put the baby “out of mind.” This is why Planned Parenthood and other baby killing operations fight desperately to prevent the child’s mother from seeing a sonogram of her baby and/or seeing pictures or descriptions of the procedure that will be used to take the child’s life. Seeing her child in her womb would more likely trigger her maternal and familial instinct and may cause her to not go through with the abortion. This would drastically cut into their profit making machine and cause layoffs of employees, hurting the economy. Believe it or not, some argue this way.
What are some of the procedures used to kill the baby in the safety and comfort of the womb?
The most common method of killing the unborn is the suction procedure (aspiration) which literally rips apart it’s body and vacuums the pieces out to be discarded.
There’s the D&C method (similar to the suction) that cuts the living infant into pieces with a sharp knife, which is then scraped out to be discarded.
There is the D&E method which uses forceps to pull, twist and tear the flesh and bones into pieces. Usually the spine must be snapped and the skull crushed in order to remove them.
There is the salt poisoning method which involves using a long needle to inject a salt solution into the fluid surrounding the baby. This method acts like a corrosive, eating away at the baby’s lungs and skin. It literally burns the baby alive and could take as long as an hour or more for the baby to die. In about 24 hours, labor sets in and the dead baby is delivered. There are some cases, however, in which the infant is delivered alive in what’s called a “botched abortion!” The child is usually left unattended to die suffering and alone. But, in some cases, the baby survives, lives to be an adult, gets married and has children of their own. You can find many survivors of abortion telling their story on the internet.
President Barack Obama, while an Illinois state senator, cast a “no vote” several times to bills that would protect born-alive infants which would treat them as humans and giving them protection under the law. His “spin” on it was that he did not want to erode Roe vs Wade which granted a woman a right to an abortion (in other words, a constitutional right to kill her baby).
The Prostaglandin Chemical abortion induces strong contractions which often crushes the infant, sometimes decapitating it, and then pushes it out dead or dying.
There’s the Hysterotomy or Caesarean Section abortion. It is used mainly in the last three months of pregnancy. This method is practically the same as a Caesarean except the umbilical cord is cut inside the womb which cuts off the baby’s oxygen supply. The infant is then taken out and left to die of neglect and exposure.
There’s the partial-birth abortion where the abortionist uses forceps, guided by ultrasound, to grab one of the baby’s legs and pulls it outside the mother’s body. He/she continues his work until the entire body of the baby, all except the head, is pulled outside the mother’s body. A pair of scissors is then jammed into the baby’s skull and a tube is inserted through which the baby’s brains are sucked out, collapsing the skull. The remainder of the dead infant’s body is then completely removed. In the mind of some, babies at this point are not yet human beings since they have not been completely born. Can you imagine anything more inhumane and outrageous than this? Neither can I. No wonder God said that all who follow the devil’s way will be tormented with him in eternity (Matthew 25:41).
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
On Mars Hill, Paul declared that God “...giveth to all life, and breath, and all things” (Acts 17:25).
The unborn baby is a human being with its own unique personality. God said to 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” (Jerimiah 1:5). God knew Jeremiah even before he was born. How could this be if the unborn is not a living human being? Jeremiah was not just “fetal tissue” or a blob of cells/flesh.
David was still David even before he was born (Psalms 51:5). Though yet unnamed by his parents while still in the womb, he was known of God. David was not a lifeless piece of flesh.
In Luke 1:40-41, we read that Mary “entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb.” John, who would be the immerser as an adult, was a human being in Elisabeth’s womb. What if she had opted for a career and had an abortion? John would not have been the forerunner of Jesus our Lord (Luke 3:4).
We should be thankful that God did not choose to send “his only begotten Son” into the world in our generation, he might have been aborted and never had the chance to die for our sins.
The Greek word for “babe” means “an unborn child, embryo, fetus; a newborn child, an infant, a babe.” It refers to an unborn child in Luke 1:41, an infant in Luke 2:12 and a small child in 2 Timothy 3:15. Advocates of abortion make a distinction between the unborn and the born. However, the Bible makes no distinction between the unborn and the infant or young child.
In the Old Testament, the law of Moses speaks of men fighting and accidently injuring a woman which causes a premature delivery of her baby. God says that if both the mother and baby survive with no injury, the man is to be punished “according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him” and the judges determine. But, if either the mother or infant is injured, “then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe” (Exodus 21:22-25). If God felt this way about accidental abortion, imagine how He must view the doctors, nurses and mother who willfully and intentionally aborts the child with the intent to kill.
Romans 1:31 speaks of those who are “without natural affection.” This phrase means “love of kindred” or the lack of affectionate regard towards one’s children. Without a doubt, a mother that can deliberately kill the innocent child in her womb is lacking that normal motherly affection which God expects of mankind. Unless the guilty repent, they will have no home in heaven.
Proverbs 6:17 says God hates those who shed innocent blood.
Advocates of abortion, the pro-choice crowd, don’t care what the Bible says. This includes every-day Americans, from factory workers to business owners, politicians to church members. All who endorse, promote, vote and defend the practice, turn a blind eye and deaf ear to multiplied millions of screaming infants whose home has been invaded and mercilessly sacrificed (killed) on the altar of mammon and selfishness. Romans 1:32 speaks of both those who practice evil and those who sit idly by and take pleasure in them that do.
Christians are the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-16). Our job is to permeate and influence society for righteousness. Our voice can be heard when we exercise our constitutional right at the voting booth. We must work and pray that godless morals may be reversed throughout all the land and the entire world.
WHAT ABOUT THE UNBORN?
To those who believe the unborn child is nothing more than a lifeless piece of flesh, consider the following medical facts:
- 2 1/2 weeks — heart begins to beat, separate blood supply.
- 3 weeks — eyes, spinal cord, nervous system, lungs and intestines are present.
- 6 weeks — brain activity can be recorded on the electroencephalogram (EKG) and movement can be detected.
- 7 weeks — fingers, knees, ankles and toes.
- 8 weeks — grab an instrument placed in his palm. An electrocardiogram can be done.
- 11 weeks — all organs are present and functioning.
- 18 weeks — active, energetic, flexing muscles, punching and kicking.
It is undeniable that life begins at conception!
When we consider what Hitler did to the Jews, we cringe and shudder in horror and dismay. Millions were murdered in Nazi gas chambers and death camps. But what about the millions of innocent babes being poisoned, dismembered, and ripped apart in their mother’s womb? What in the world is the difference between the two? The honest observer must admit that there is none! Murder is still murder even if it is called abortion.
