We live in a 21st century, post-modern, marxist-materialist world, and our society and government actively promote this.
Many Americans could not care less, or think this is an irrelevant or foolish debate. This includes many “conservatives” who are focused on schemes to win the next election.
America is losing its soul. It is a fundamental debate that absolutely must be had. What is a human? Who has the most basic rights to life? Are we (and especially our society and state) bound by the laws of a Christian God? If we deem humans are expendable, then you simply can not expect any “rights” to exist. We are then in hell.
I became pro-life in 1978, when I started working as a medical technician in the NICU. We were required, morally, ethically, and legally to try to save the babies in the NICU. Many of them were born at 6 months gestation. And literally on the same floor, around the corner, they were killing babies through abortion who were older than the ones we were obligated to save in the NICU.
The ONLY difference was that the mothers of the babies in the NICU wanted their children, and the mothers of the babies being aborted did not. And I thought to myself “if that’s how we’re going to decide who gets to live and who doesn’t, that someone else has to want us, then that’s a really dark place that I don’t want to go.” If we, as a society, are not willing to pay the price of defending the right to life of ALL the innocent, then we will necessarily end up in that very dark place. And I think it’s clear we’re very close to it, if not already there.
The problem of frozen embryos is just one of the many problems with IVF, but if they are human beings, and they obviously are, then we have to be willing to pay the price of defending their lives.
I understand the implications. But as pro-lifers, are we willing to put our money where our mouths are, or not?
