"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them." - Psalm 139: 13-16
"I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost." Matthew 18:13-14
There's a lot of bible verses that could be used as arguments against abortion, but today I want to examine not only abortion, but another common tragedy.
Here's the deal, a lot of people right now are fighting for gun rights to be taken away. Why? To stop school shootings. To save the lives of children. But ironically, a lot of those same people are also fighting for the rights of abortion as well. This seems hypocritical to me. So here's my question: when do they start protecting life? And if we really live in a society where I have to ask that question, then I might as well also ask: when will they stop protecting life? They justify killing unborn babies because they are insentient, or because they're a burden, or because they're harmful. So couldn't they also justify killing the mentally handicapped, the elderly, the anti-social, or people who are in comas? No matter where the line is drawn, it will never fit only one group.
Right now they fight for the right to guiltlessly murder the most innocent, the most helpless, the most unable to fight back. But then they turn around and fight for the rights of the kids that they didn't murder. The ones who were born. If we put all of the children who survived the abortion process in one building and that building was shot up or blown up, would these people respond to the crisis with the same indignant sense of justice that they respond to any other school shooting with? I mean, those kids were supposed to die, right?
At what point in life does life become worth protecting.
At what point in life does life become worth nothing?
