LiveAction posted these pictures a month ago to remind those who think infanticide is just removing a blob of tissue...

Any rational being if they believe in infanticide should have spent the crushing hour with me in my granddaughters hospital room as she cradled her pre-term baby as it died in her arms. She would have given anything to have a term baby to take home that some so wantonly kill.

NOT a blob, it's a Human baby

Abortion WAS so widely practiced and accepted in Biblical times. That is true.

For the followers of Molech, that is. The ancient ruins show that the “child sacrifices” to Molech included fetuses.

But God had a few things to say about the choices of the Molech followers - and about those in Israel who were tempted to also “practice and accept” those choices. See http://biblereasons.com/human-sacrifices/ for a listing of some of those passages, understood to refer to abortion as well as infanticide, in light of the historical context.

Leviticus 20 deserves special emphasis here, because it applies even to those who don’t commit abortions themselves. It applies directly to the author of this piece, in fact, if he is considered in the same clan as those who offer their children to Molech through abortion and/or infanticide:

“The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 I myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, 5 then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.”

There was a pro-abortion bitch on Laura Ingraham’s show last night who went into full Rat filibuster mode and wouldn’t STFU - kept talking over Laura. Producer shut off her mic, but she didn’t know it so kept jabbering away. She was evil!

One ancient writer observed that the Jews were the only people who did not expose unwanted children.

I suspect they did not abort either.

The black population continues to grow in spite of high abortion rates. The white population now has more deaths than births.

The fifth commandment says thou shalt not kill. Abortion is killing.

Actually, Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill is one word in the ancient Hebrew, that word is ratsach. and it prohibits the taking of defenseless human life.

Exodus 21:22 (Right after the "Ten Commandments" Chapter:

22"If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. 23"But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life,…

There is an assumption implicit in this statement that the pregnant woman is carrying a "life" worthy of fine or even capital punishment, if that "Life" is interfered with in any way.

Guess the author doesn’t know God or has ever picked up a Bible to find out for himself what God thinks of child sacrifice. I did. Took a couple of months for the first one and am continuing it as I learn more.

A simple word study of abomination would suffice. Then he might notice the abomination that causes desolation which is the consequence for the nation that legalizes it (king ordained at the time).

I’m pretty sure that the 10 northern tribes actually did it continuously after the split. They were decimated first. Oh, God does not forgive the nation, but does give a reprieve with repentance. Judah got a reprieve but the invasion still occurred.

“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 24:3 & 4

The Didache, a.k.a The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (which predates the Bible) strongly condemns abortion!
