I’ve known some to say that the bible says nothing about abortion and that God does not condemn it. I would like to know which bible they read and what god they worship. Yahweh, the one true God, spells it out clearly in His Word. Not only is there a very clear, plain-stated law condemning the injury or murder of a preborn child (Exodus 21:22), but there are numerous scripture references to preborn children. It’s very apparent what God thinks about them. After all, He is the One who forms us in our mothers’ wombs (Psalm 139:13-16) (Job 8:9-12)

John the Baptist, while still in his mother Elizabeth’s womb, leaped for joy when Mary greeted Elizabeth (Luke 1:41-44). Do you honestly think God thinks it’s A-Ok to murder a child who can leap for joy? I know when I was pregnant with my son that he stirred when he heard certain sounds. He’d move around in my womb (I believe for joy) when my husband sang “Jesus Loves Me” to him. He’d jump when he’d hear a sudden loud noise. Of course, it’s not okay to kill a child who cannot leap, either. Our society is really going downhill.

Isaiah 49:15 say, Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? We should surely hope not, but the sad thing is this: there’s not a whole lot of compassion from mothers on their children, in the womb, or afterward. Another thing that is knocked out of kilter is the fact there are not a whole lot of “nursing” children anymore, either. It’s no wonder children act the way they do. They were not loved at the breast (I do understand there are a minute few who cannot lactate). Not only were they not comforted at the breast, but most were not fed milk from the breast directly or pumped but given artificial baby milk. Another great “choice.” It’s really twisted that the choices mothers make these days are not so dandy for their children. What’s just as bad is that they’re not good for the women making them, either. Women are so naïve in thinking the murder of their child will make everything better. After the murder has taken place, there is no taking it back. There are a lot of things I wish I could take back, but it doesn’t work that way. God made His laws, because He loves us. When we disobey, there are horrible consequences.

I conclude that God is most definitely both pro-life and pro-child. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. This is what God told the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land. He told them if they obeyed His commandments and walked in His ways, then they would live and increase and would be blessed. Children were seen as a blessing. Isn’t it something that people don’t want to increase these days? Many see children as a burden, rather than a blessing from God.

This reminds me of something another woman said to me. A pro-abortion acquaintance who hates me and what I stand for (John 15:18), was running me down for my sinful past (who doesn’t have one?). This woman made a habit of continuously signing ungodly things in my website guest book, and she made it clear that she thought I was evil for being pro-life and that abortion was good (Isaiah 5:20). Yet this same person, after running me down for my past wrongdoings, when I was pregnant with my son (after I miscarried my first child), said, “You don’t deserve to be a mother. Children are a gift from God.”

She said killing babies is fine but turns around and says children are a gift from God??? Well, which is it? Indeed Psalms 127:3-5 says, Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

I think children truly are a gift, a reward from the womb. I was deeply grieved by the death of my first child, and I’m highly delighted by the joy my little boy brings me. I certainly would count myself blessed to have a quiver full and certainly would not be ashamed of it. Notice how parents are regarded now when they are seen in public with more than two children. Well, it shouldn’t be those parents who are ashamed, if they love their children. It should be the ones who look down upon large families who should be shameful.

The person I mentioned above is not the only hypocrite I’ve come into contact with over this subject, either. Arkansas State Senator Blanche Lincoln emailed me a few days ago to let me know that she shared her concerns with me about the filth on television (which I nearly NEVER watch), because she has two children of her own. She acted so concerned about her children; she didn’t want them viewing trash. Yet, when she was asked for support on a law that would punish someone who attacked a pregnant woman for the injuries/deaths of both woman and child, she said that she saw no reason to give personhood to fetuses. She’s pro-abortion. Now, why bother care what your kids are viewing on television, when you think there’s nothing wrong with murdering a child? Her kids are going to have twisted morals, anyway.

I simply do not understand how some can be so double-minded. The bible says, A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways (James 1:8). So many claim to be Christians, but they do not what God says (Mathew 7:21; Romans 2:13).

I was absolutely horrified by what one woman said about people who escaped abortion alive but were born with injuries. This particular woman claims that God thinks abortion is okay and that the bible is pro-abortion. When I confronted her with the fact that some babies escape alive, but injured, she replied, “So in other words you're agreeing that in those cases they would have been better off if the abortion had succeeded, and the real problem is that they didn't finish the job and actually ... were born?”

That’s not at all what I was saying. I have read about several such people, and they are strong pro-life advocates and voices for the unborn. I haven’t known a single one say something to the effect, “That sorry abortionist; why couldn’t he have done a better job killing me?” That’s not to say that some may sometimes have those feelings, since they have been robbed of what would have been an uninjured life, but I’m sure most of the time their thoughts go against the abortion completely, because they would now have an uninjured life if it weren’t for the attempted murder in the first place.

Perhaps if this nation outlawed abortion, our children would stop murdering each other in the evil institutions known as public schools. We should expect this, since we’re teaching them that it’s okay to murder and that human life has no value.

God said He would not turn back His wrath on Ammon for ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead (Amos 1:13). Ammon was trying to extend borders, and he took advantage of the fact he could “kill two birds with one stone,” if you will.

God HATES abortion. Proverbs 6:16-17 says, There are six things Adonai hates, seven which he detests: a haughty look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood…. You can’t get more innocent than an unborn baby!

If you’ve had an abortion, there is help available to you! If you need counseling, your local crisis pregnancy center can help! They offer post-abortion counseling. Also, if you are pregnant and need help, they will HELP you. They will help with clothes for you and the baby, diapers, and other things you’ll need, if you need financial help. They can also steer you in the direction of adoption help, if you want to place your child up for adoption. There are thousands of loving couples waiting to adopt a child, and they are on long waiting lists, because there are no babies to adopt. The demand is over twice the supply! This is because all the babies are being murdered! Please, get help if you need it. Also, there is forgiveness in Christ available to those who have aborted a child.

Crisis pregnancy centers are ALWAYS in need of donations: money, baby clothes, maternity clothes, diapers, etc. You may also consider volunteering as a counselor.
