I especially find the claim that a woman has a right to do with her body what she wants a specious one.
First, it is not a woman’s body which is being dismembered or destroyed.
Second, society has many laws which prohibit what one can legally do with one’s body. Two examples which quickly come to mind, prostitution and illegal drugs. If the current trend continues this will also include smoking and eating certain foods.
I agree that the debate, as yet, has been on the pro-abortions terms. It is important to make people understand that the right to life is the first one protected in the constitution and without it, there is no need of any others.
I also think that inconsistency and ambiguity hurts the cause. I am one who opposes abortion for any reason, even in cases of rape, incest and risk to the health of the mother.
Another position that gets my goat is the one which acknowledges the horrors of abortion and claims a desire for a reduction of abortion or “to make it safe, legal and rare.” The number one way to immediately reduce the number of abortions by many millions a year world wide is to make them illegal.
Millions of women have had abortions they would never have had because abortion is legal. Millions of women equated legal with moral and aborted their own children without realizing the enormity of what they have done.
This is an epic battle. One which cannot be given up. It may not be profitable to discuss this in terms of faith, but I have no doubt that a country that continues to slaughter its children in the womb has no business asking God for His blessings.
Bears repeating!! Without life, there is no hope; there are no voters; there is no tax base; there is no future.
