The Abomination of Abortion

01.21.11
J.A. Matteson

"Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them." Psalm 139:16

The second sentence to the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America reads, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The quintessential right granted by God is that of Life. Infanticide was made the legal law of the land on January 22, 1973 by the United States supreme court. While it may be legal it is not morally right. Since that time in excess of 40 million human beings have been murdered, clinically exterminated, and thus legally. The atrocity of the United States judicial system which is directly responsible for the enormous loss of innocent human life over the last 38 years dwarfs the evils committed by Adolf Hitler.

A society that does not defend the defenseless is barbarian. A culture that considers murder a rational "choice" over personal responsibility for ones actions is deplorable. A people who, for the sake of convenience, thoughtlessly discard their own children for selfish purposes is utterly depraved beyond description. That the Lord of heaven has not rained down judgment upon this land is a testimony to His grace. But the Word of the Lord is sure and God will not be mocked and will visit retribution upon a people blinded by sin, giving them over to the lusts of their flesh.

The abortion industry in the United States is a multi-billion dollar enterprise and many stand to loose fortunes should Roe. vs. Wade be overturned. Follow the money trail and it leads to many doors, foremost being Planned Parenthood. Twentyfirst century science has verified what the Scripture previously declared; viz., that the child in the womb is a child a not a mere glob of cells. The child has a distinct DNA from its parents and, contrary to the protest of pro-abortion women, it is not part of her body; rather, it is a unique human being made in the image of God who just happens to be sharing its mothers body while developing. This scientific fact cannot be discredited.

On the anniversary of this horrific legal opinion rendered 38 years ago, let the people of God raise their voice around the world in defense of the most vulnerable among us, the defenseless and voiceless. If we do not champion their cause on earth, who will?
