Avoth -- abortion kills an unborn child.
That means that it's just different from issues like marijuana usage or gambling or prostitution or any other issue which we might find "morally reprehensible", but on which Prohibition fails -- well, as badly as Prohibition usually fails, when both parties are voluntarily seeking to engage in a mutually-desired (albeit immoral), non-violent transaction.
Marijuana doesn't kill anyone, though it may deaden the soul. And the same could be said for the other "personal vices" I've mentioned, as well.
But with Abortion, killing someone is the whole point of the operation!
If a human being doesn't get killed, the abortion didn't get done.
I have no issue with anything you’ve written. If I read you correctly, your issue with my post is that you found the term “morally reprehensible” to be a poor choice of words to describe the behavior of the pro-choice crowd. And I don’t have a problem with that either.
Obviously, the point I was trying to make was lost.
The anti-abortion crowd needs better solutions and more self-control because its not achieving the results it truly wants, i.e., people to act more responsibly regarding sex and conception.
Child sacrifice is on a par with profaning God's holy name.
Leviticus 18:21
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Psalm 106:37-39
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Our enemy is God and he needs no ammunition. I don't want people to "act more responsibly regarding sex and conception." This is not about self-righteous rectitude or punishing promiscuity with babies. This is about the blood curdling wrath of God against our entire nation. Look what he did to us over slavery in the civil war. Our land is polluted with the blood of 50,000,000. We are all in the same boat. I am afraid of Almighty God.
Deuteronomy 32:35
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
