Jeremiah 1:5, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
With the way that the world is going the act of sinning is not only being more and more accepted by the entire population, but also is being promoted as the right way to live our lives. Their seems to be more actions and excuses for individuals who do not wish to take the responsibility of being a parent or and adult in the decisions that they make with their lives and with their bodies, with abortions being one.
I remember back during the election of 2008, one of the great debates between each political party was of being Pro-Choice (allowing everyone the right to make the decision to have a abortion or not) or of being Pro-Life (the outlawing of abortion rights) I was thinking just who gave us this right to choose who gets to live and who does not? Especially in the taking of a innocent life who has not even had the chance to pled its case to the world. Many Doctors argue that the actual life of a fetus does not really begin until after the first few months of conception but as Jeremiah 1:5 states, God may argue that case against the knowledge of man. In the decision of being Pro-Choice we are wrong! We are wrong in believing that we have that authority to decide for ourselves when and under which circumstances we can bring a child into this world. Several others Biblical scriptures back up this belief as in Psalm 51:5,” For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.”
The Word of God says life begins at the moment of conception and not months later as some would say, regardless of what the natural world may tell us we live our lives according to the Spirit, knowing that all things have purpose and meaning for our lives. I did some research on this topic and found out that the main reason behind the choice to abort a unwanted pregnancy, is not because of a rape which only accounts for less than 1% of all abortions but rather bad judgement. Many abortions occur because people feel that they are not ready finacially, mentally or just made a bad decision one night. So because we don’t want to live with the consequences, we decide to take the life of a innocent child. I apologize for being blunt but that is exactly what abortion is. The most responsible action to take is being aware of the end results of our actions. If you plan to have pre-marital sex use condoms or contraceptions before making a decision that will result in making another terrible one in a few months. Every life is precious unto the Lord. The creation of a life gives God great pride because we operate as Him in doing so. When we were made in His image back in the book of Genesis, God made us creators also just like Him.
In abortion we pollute that gift in which God ordained us to walk in, and warp it into something very destructive. This was done also in the past in the book of Psalm 106:37-38, reads “They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons. They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters. By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan, they polluted the land with murder.” This is speaking of when Israel worshiped the false god Ba’al, and to pay homage to Him destroyed the very children that they conceived for His “blessings.” Also Deuteronomy 27:25 reads, “Cursed is anyone who accepts payment to kill an innocent person.’And all the people will reply, Amen.” Their are many many more arguements to be had on just why Pro-Choice is against the will of God. I ask that we all take a look into the world of God and just see how wonderful Life is if we only submit unto His will. The next time the debate is raging just remember John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Stay Blessed!
