Have you ever been made aware of some injustice and wondered: "Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?"
I have. And usually, I'M guilty of remaining inactive. Such has been the case for me these past couple of decades regarding THE EVIL OF OUR AGE: ABORTION.
I have shed tears over the years at the thought that it is LEGAL to kill babies in the womb. I've given change to help support local pregnancy centers. I've prayed for the end to this evil. I've even begged women NOT to abort, but rather to give the baby to my family! But why haven't I done MORE?
I am only speaking for myself and God has been convicting ME in this matter. But think about it- an entire class of people (the unborn) are regularly torn apart in utero in our country and we ALLOW IT? If an unborn entity is wanted, we call it a BABY. If unwanted, it is okay and acceptable to get rid of "it." Why is there a disconnect?
I know those who support abortion default to language about women's rights and so on, but this will not suffice. Some have gone so far as to ADMIT the humanity of the unborn and STILL argue in favor of killing the baby!
Brothers and Sisters, we have all got to open our eyes! A great EVIL is being allowed in our country, in our states, in our cities, in YOUR CITY. Please consider this and try to understand my newfound passion for ending abortion. I know I may appear over-zealous, self-righteous, over-the-top in my desire to ABOLISH HUMAN ABORTION, but it is NOT my intent to be those things. The knowledge that baby humans are being killed daily, breaks my heart and I can no longer be silent. I can no longer remain inactive. May God be glorified and may God use me to help ABOLISH HUMAN ABORTION. God is all sovereign...
Thanks for voicing your concerns and for being an advocate in this continuing battle.
ReplyDeleteAt a doctor's visit today I read an article in the January issue of Time Magazine which interviewed those on the other side (pro-choice folks). It is interesting to note, and I hope this brings you some comfort, that there is a strong division within the "house" of those in the pro-choice movement. We know from Christ's teachings that if "a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). There is a pitting against one another between the younger and older generations.
The article also goes on to state that those who work in abortion clinics or support them in some way are running through more and more red tape these days which is making it increasingly difficult to administer abortions. In addition, abortion clinics and the number of babies being murdered have dramatically decreased since 1982. After reading the article I could not help but rejoice in the fact that the Lord will and still does frustrate the plans of the wicked (Psalm 146:9).
However, there still remains one sad statistic and that is since Roe v. Wade there has been over 50 million abortions in the US. This sickens me because my wife and I are trying to adopt and recently experienced a failed adoption. I do often wonder why this evil of murdering babies is still so prevalent in our society and that some women see this as a viable option.
However, I can say without a doubt that our God is all sovereign and He still reigns! Keep fighting the good fight brother. Will be praying and asking the Lord to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding, in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way. Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and being strengthened with all power according to God's glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, all the while joyfully giving thanks to our Father in heaven.
Semper Fi & God Bless,

Thank you for your comments, Den. My wife and I have tried to adopt twice without success. We have since been blessed with 2 wonderful boys (13 and 11), but also know the agony of miscarriage. May the Lord grant your family many children whether by birth or adoption! God is all sovereign...
