The Illogic of the "Right" to Abortion: Do Women REALLY Want the "Choice" to Kill Their Own Babies?

"But it's a human being" says the show host. "So is the woman," says the "pro-choice" guest. And she wants to be sure that THIS human being's "rights" are protected. It's considered a great evil and something women will vote against, to deny them this "right" to abortion.

Obviously they just aren't thinking this through. Even some on the "pro-choice" side will admit that yes, we're talking about a living human being in the womb here, but they go right on past that to assert that the woman is ALSO a living human being and HER rights count TOO, or even MORE, and so on and so forth, just sailing right on past the implication that they are advocating KILLING that OTHER human being in order to protect the woman's "rights" (and often these days killing it in viciously brutal ways too, even when the child is near to being born).

Do women REALLY want the right to commit MURDER? I don't think so. I think we've been sold a lie, and a great ideological fog has descended over this issue.

Do we have such murdering hearts? There was a time, and in fact it may still go on in some parts of the world, when unwanted infants were put out to die after birth. If they'd had safe means of abortion they'd no doubt have killed their babies that way, but infanticide was the option at the time. I think it's hard today, even for the most committed "pro-choice" advocate, to imagine doing that with a clear conscience, one has to imagine a completely other mental set than we have grown up with today in a western society, to commit out and out murder of an infant. Don't most of us want to rush to the abandoned infant and save it and protect it? I think we do. Yes, even the "pro-choicers" do.

We can SEE the humanness of the born infant and can be moved by its plight. But we are committing that same murder in abortion nevertheless, only we're hiding it from ourselves because the unborn baby isn't visible. Truly it must be "visible" in a certain sense to our "mind's eye," but ideology has twisted things so that we ignore that picture. We keep the focus on the woman and her "rights" and manage to fog over the fact that this "right," this "choice" that is being advocated in such tones of righteous indignation is in fact a right and a choice to commit the killing of another human being -- and not just some anonymous human being either, whose life we should want to protect anyway, but your own flesh and blood, your own child. Even when they seem to acknowledge this fact they run right past it showing they haven't really let themselves think about its implications. We don't dare stop and think too hard about that these days, we must preserve it as a "woman's" issue, a "right" or a "choice."

Sometimes you'll hear someone say in serious or even mournful tones that whether or not to abort a baby is a very "private" and "personal" decision, and a very "difficult" choice that people must make, not something to be done lightly. Which superficially seems to acknowledge the moral dimension of the problem, but if you REALLY think it through, it's like saying "It's a very difficult personal choice to kill a human being, and we should respect people's privacy about such an important decision."

Why is it this is not recognized as what is really being said? Because we're not allowed to think it. Ideological fog.

Even the child of rape or incest is a human being. If you know that how can you grant the "right" to kill THAT child either?

Again, knowing that, recognizing that, is what doesn't happen because the propaganda, the ideology, operates to prevent it.

It's sad when an unwanted child is conceived, whatever the reason for its not being wanted. It's sad for the child and it's sad for the parent or parents. It is a hardship for some women when that happens, although face it, for most these days it's not really a hardship, it's more an inconvenience, and yet murdering it is considered the "righteous" thing to do.

The whole thing goes back to the promotion of "sexual freedom" of course, but that's another topic for another time --but I'll mention that you might want to see Chris Pinto's film The Kinsey Syndrome for some insight into that evil movement that is destroying America. A stable prosperous society requires traditional marriage and traditional laws that confine sex to marriage.

But right now I just want to keep the fact up front that abortion kills a human being, and that women are NOT being done any favors by being given the "right" or the "choice" to commit murder. There are plenty of stories of women who later regretted having had an abortion, to the point of deep depression over it, when the truth of it got through to them. This is the TRUE heart of most women.

We've been sold a lie.

Righteousness Exalteth a Nation: Hang in there on the social issues, Republicans

The Republican platform is on the right track:

ABORTION:
The party states that "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed." It opposes using public revenues to promote or perform abortion or to fund organizations that perform or advocate abortions. It says the party will not fund or subsidize health care that includes abortion coverage.

Since abortion, euphemistically referred to as "the right to choose" ---(since when is murder a "choice" in any civilized country?)-- is popular --(remember, that's MURDER that's popular),-- the pragmatists are likely to feel this is suicide for the party.

By that reasoning a nation would always be promoting sin and unrighteousness until it is utterly destroyed. Which does seem to have been happening in America over the last half century.

Abortion is certainly a major reason this nation is in disfavor with God, so that a Republican win could begin to turn the tide and bring His blessings back to us. The beginning of the needed repentance.

No, it's not the Economy, dear Church

Or it is but focusing on the economy is useless. God's in charge of the economy. God's in charge of all of it but so many Christians are only looking at the specifics, how to deal with this or that problem, not consulting God. This is what's wrong with the nation. It's why we are where we are, facing the problems we're facing, given the undesirable options we have. It's why we have a wannabe Hitler running against a Mormon with a Catholic running mate (and let me be clear, I think Ryan is a GREAT guy), having passed over the evangelical he could have had instead.

You want to change the economy? You want God to bless our "basket and our store" instead of allowing a drought to destroy it?

Read Deuteronomy 28. Sure, it's to Israel as a special covenant nation but do you really think its principles don't also apply to all nations including America? Do you really think that stuff "just happens" for no good reason? Well, I suppose most people do. But Christians shouldn't. A nation that obeys God will be blessed, but cursed for disobedience.

Proverbs 14:34: Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.

We need to stop trying to solve problems exclusively from the human perspective. The nation is under judgment. If there's any hope of turning it back we need to turn the nation back to God. That's called "repentance."

Back to the God of the Bible, of course, not the God of the Mormons, not the God of Rome, not the God of Islam, not the God of the Deists or the Unitarians or the Universalists or the Liberal churches, but the God of the uncompromised Bible. He's the true God, the others are counterfeits.

Drought reports: No Relief In Sight but is God considered?

No references to God in the headlines, just the bad news with no hint of hope for a way to make it better.

Where is the America that would have known this is God's judgment and whose leaders would have called for days of fasting and repenting for the nation's sins?
