Try this headline on for size. “Justice Department Asks Supreme Court To Block Texas Abortion Ban.” Because they say unconstitutional bills like that take away a “woman’s right to choose.”
Notice the emphasis on “unconstitutional bills.”
And notice how they never (or at least rarely) finish that sentence. Woman’s right to choose…what? Do they simply choose to stop being pregnant? Hmm…I don’t think that’s all there is to it. And by that I really mean I KNOW that’s not all there is to it.
Because, when a woman is pregnant, there’s somebody else involved. And I’m not talking about just the two so-called “consenting adults” who caused the pregnancy. I’m talking about the innocent baby.
(Side note: every human pregnancy involves a baby human being)
So, the so-called “justice department” calling an abortion ban unconstitutional is like the so-called FDA calling a poison ban unconstitutional.
And you know what’s so incredibly sad to me?
The fact that a state (or anybody for that matter) has to come up with an “abortion ban.” Because it should be crystal clear that murder is wrong. Always has been. Always will be. And abortion is the murder of an innocent baby. Not just a woman choosing to not be pregnant anymore.
Yes. Every completed abortion kills at least one person. Sometimes two.
And every abortion seriously damages lives…or destroys them.
I know this is an uncomfortable topic.
Because so many millions and millions of Americans (and people around the world) have experienced the extreme guilt and sadness of “a woman’s right to choose.”
And one state’s “abortion ban” most likely won’t change the hardened hearts of millions of others. So, fools will continue to rage against “unconstitutional bills” with more passion and intensity than most Christians who know right from wrong. Those who should know how God feels about it. Because He said…
“And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?”
But who needs God when we have democracy and tolerance and diversity?
In fact, maybe we should just declare God and Jesus and Christianity unconstitutional. Naa…that’ll never happen. But even when it does, remember…
We Win
It should be so easy
To just see we’re not free
As long as the innocent die.
To say that it’s legal
We spit on the eagle
Who stands for what we once held high.
It’s hard when we count up the cost,
And a million more lives have been lost.
True love won’t give up or give in.
Hang in there. It’s worth it. We win.
It’s not law. We got law.
And we saw that each law
Kept taking us further from truth.
When logic and reason
Don’t have their due season,
The lies end up long in the tooth.
So work hard and take time to pray
For lives to be saved every day.
True love won’t give up or give in.
Hang in there. It’s worth it. We win.
Hang in there”we have to see it through.
It’s worth it”watch how it changes you.
