Today is ‘Sanctity of Life Day’

So, many Churches across the SBC will be thinking about the value of human life and the holocaust called abortion.

In America – on average – there are 1,210,000 abortions performed annually.  That means that in less than a decade more people are killed than perished in the Holocaust.  It also means that in just a few years we kill more children than have been killed in every war we have ever fought, combined.

Personally I find abortion on demand a damnable disgusting dreadful terror.  Women who don’t wish to be mothers because their careers matter more simply should either abstain from sexual congress or use protection in multiple layers.  Women who wish to remain childless are perfectly within their rights to do so.  God bless them.  What they may not do, however, is snuff out the life they have allowed to occur simply because they wish to deem themselves more important.

I find it, finally, completely ironic that those who defend most loudly the murder of children are the very people least likely to support capital punishment when grown adults have cruelly murdered others.  For them, killing a child is ok but putting to death a killer is a wickedness.

There are cases when abortion may be permissible.  Two, in fact.  1) when the life of the mother is in danger.  And 2) in the cases of rape or incest.  But even those decisions ought not to be lightly considered.  Mom and God have to have a heart to heart and then mom has to be at peace with her choice.

Abortion on demand should be illegal.  (And I know most of you won’t like that, but that’s just too bad).  Tossing out a life just for the sake of your own selfishness is barbarism.  It really is an indicator of truly depraved humanity.  And the Church shouldn’t stand by silently while it happens.
