Sanctity of Human Life Sunday

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,.."  Jeremiah 1:5

Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

In light of this important topic and because we are at important crossroads, politically, I am re-posting my thoughts from January 2009 - shortly after Obama took office. 

I believe as Christians, we must participate in our election process.  I believe as Christians we must evaluate each candidate and pick the one most likely to look to God and the Bible for guidance, and the one most likely to govern using Biblical principles. 

I don't believe we can make this, or any election, a one-issue election, but surely we can ask God for guidance and discernment to direct us in voting for the next President of the United States and Leader of the Free World.

Another reason the Presidential Election is so critical (especially in view of the abortion issue) is that the President is responsible for appointing Supreme Court Justices.  It is likely the upcoming President will make at least one appointment, and therefore has the power to either keep the Court conservative, or, as what will happen under Obama, appoint liberal activist Justices--ones very pro-abortion.  Directly or indirectly, your vote will have major ramifications for or against unborn children.

Whoever the Republican nominee is, he will be immensely better than Barak Obama.  Life for Americans will be better, and many babies in America will be given the chance to have a life.

Some Questions to Think About as We Mark the 36th* Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

1.) President Obama recently signed an Executive Order reinstating the U.S.’s funding of abortions worldwide. If we are in such a dire economic crisis (and I think we are…) how can we afford to give money to other countries for the purpose of abortion? Do we even have that money to give?

2.) If science is to be restored “to its rightful place,” how can it be used to justify stem cell research on human embryos but ignored when it comes to all the extensive evidence showing early stages of pregnancy and life?

3.) How is it that Nancy Pelosi can allocate millions of dollars in the bailout for contraception, stating/implying that children are more costly than the money used to prevent them? (It looks hopeful that Republicans can get this part of the bail out distribution changed.)

4.) How is it that more taxes are demanded “for the children” for education, Head Start, breakfast and lunch programs, after school programs, arts programs, and other programs ad infinitum and yet unborn children have no rights and are legally murdered?

5.) How is it that we have laws to protect endangered species and the habitats they need (with high penalties for infractions), and yet we cannot protect unborn children?

6.) How is it we have laws to protect the environment, and yet cannot protect our unborn children?

7.) Is it a coincidence that pictures of aborted babies look strikingly similar to pictures of Holocaust atrocities?

8.) How can people who profess to be Christian be pro-abortion when the Bible clearly states God’s position on life?

9.) How is it that no one sees the hypocrisy in all these points of fact?

10.) How can women who have had children be pro-abortion? They have felt the fluttering and early stirrings of life within them; felt the kicks and elbows, felt the hiccups, and pushed out a new little life.

11.)What can I do to make a difference and protect unborn children?

*Today we mark 39 years since Roe v Wade has made abortion legal.
