Some of you are not going to like this…
Heck, I don’t even like the idea of talking about it. But, silence =
apathy and I can’t stomach the idea of being quiet. Not now. Not over this.
I’m going to get right to the point.
Let’s talk about what happened in New York last week. Ok?
We’re talking about abortion, so if this offends you,… well, sorry, but
it ought to offend you.
Sorry, not sorry.
Let’s look at this from my perspective… not the typical news hype
perspective, or the radical, rabid response from some erstwhile “activists.”
You see, I am an adoptive parent. And yes, that gives me just a little
right to be angry, heartbroken and even sickened by those who defend the “right”
to abortion.
I am not here to discuss those rare cases where many of us would come
up with what seems to some at least, a potentially reasonable cause to abort a
pregnancy.
Do you understand the sheer magnitude of how many lives have been
snuffed out since just 1980 alone worldwide? The number should stagger you! It
should make your knees go weak…
1.5
Billion plus!!! – more than 3,000 just in the time that I wrote this
Just today alone, there have been more than 108,000 babies killed and
discarded for not much more than the inconvenience that they posed to the ones
who might have taken care of them.
I am not here to make a judgment on any individual; however I have to
ask…
When did human life become so cheap to us?!
You see, from my perspective, an adoptive parent… these poor little
souls may not have been wanted by their would be families… but I can guarantee
you that they were wanted by someone.
There are many, many families that would love to open their homes and
their hearts to what for some was an unwanted child.
God says in scripture that He knows us from the time we are being “knitted
together in secret.”
God and heaven weeps over our calloused choices here on Earth. These
children cry out before the throne of God for justice.
There is mercy available from God for those of us who have made the
choice to abort a little one, however it is my firm belief that God’s patience
with us is wearing out. The actions recently in New York and the completely
horrific ways that these decisions were made and openly celebrated I believe
will be punished by God.
And, the coming judgment will be unfortunately deserved.
If abortion was not bad enough before, it has been made that much worse
by the murderous choice to allow an abortion literally up until hours before
the baby’s birth.
Why oh why can the population of this country, maybe even the World
call it a double murder when a pregnant woman is killed in a homicide, and yet
we now make it legal to kill that same child in the womb when the child is completely
able to survive outside the womb.
That my friend is still murder.
We were all once children, were we not?
God has a purpose in creating all of us and now we are in the business
of deciding on our own to snuff out the potential, the gifts and the future of
a little child.
All scientific definitions of life are met in a child, all throughout
their development.
Abortion and the defenses that surround the massive majority of all
abortions are all based on abject hypocrisy by those arguing for them.
There is blood on the hands of all of us…
For those who wrote and voted for the legislation that approves of
these acts. For those that have used these acts as a way to deny the future of
the unborn and for those of us who have sat silently by and by our apathy let
these acts continue for many decades.
Thank God for the few that have had the courage to carry their babies
to term and take responsibility for the choices that they made leading up to
the pregnancy and then sought help in either raising them or making an adoption
plan for them.
For those who became pregnant against their will (sorry, these are
statistically very few – just 744 from rape and incest this year), you have my
utmost sympathy, but I will never believe that God cannot redeem these precious
little lives no matter how they came to be here. God has a purpose and a plan
for all of us.
As a nation and as a world, we must take responsibility for our
behavior that leads us down these paths.
They are not tissue, they are not choices, they are babies and I
believe we are going to (again) see tremendous judgment by God over this,
because the deaths of all of these children were not only preventable, but
absolutely unnecessary.
May God have mercy on us in the coming days and may those who wake up
to the vile evil that we have (many of us that is) let overtake our land.
You may have your own opinions. And, I respect that, so please be
respectful of mine to. If you want to discuss those opinions (civilly that is),
please DM/PM me rather than attacking me. If you choose to be rude, I will
remove your comments from my pages.
“For You created my inmost being; You knit me
together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was
not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven
together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the
days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”
(Psalm 139: 13-16)
Please understand that I wrote this out of
the deep ache in my soul that I feel for the loss of children that will never
know the precious embrace of love from either their own birth mother or an
adoptive one.
Sincerely,
Mike <><
