Consider the following facts taken from a snapshot of the US in 2002…
- 1,082 children died from violent assault
- 2,347 children died from car accidents
- 32,867 children died from disease
As a parent of two, these are heart wrenching facts. Every single one of these kids were a living soul with a personality – all snuffed out all too prematurely. But compared to another statistic, these children were the “lucky” ones.
You see, these 36,296 children actually got a chance to live. Despite how horrible and heart wrenching their deaths may have been, they at least got to live.
Here’s another statistic. In the US during 2002…
- 1,310,000 children died in the supposed safest place on earth – their mothers womb.
You see these kids didn’t have a say of whether or not they had the choice to live. Their mother and/or father made the decision on their behalf – and decided to abort their life.
www.abort73.com is a pro-life website setup to destroy ignorance surrounding the topic of abortion. If you are pregnant and want some solid reasoning as to why you should go ahead with your pregnancy, you need to visit this site.
If you are passionate about spreading the pro-life view (and may I dare say…the truth) about one of the most hotly debated topics around, then you need to check out www.abort73.com.
The title “abort73” is largely due to the Roe V’s Wade case – a landmark 1973 verdict which legalized abortion in the US actually built on the claim that there’s no way to say for certain whether or not abortion kills because no one can say for certain when life begins. Boy have times changed since then. We now know for certain when life begins and we know for certain that abortion is legalised murder.
Watch this:
Since then 45 million American kids have been murdered. They would have been my age as my mother conceived me in April, 1973. I can’t think of any human tragedy that surpasses a death of 45 million – and that’s in the US alone.
Since 1973, medical science has taken great leaps and there is a genuine consensus among those without an agenda to spread as to when life begins – at conception. Watch this:
Even the strongest advocates of abortion have made the following startling comments:
“I think we have deluded ourselves into believing that people don’t know that abortion is killing. So any pretense that abortion is not killing is a signal of our ambivalence, a signal that we cannot say yes, it kills a fetus.” Faye Wattleton – Former President of Planned Parenthood – the largest provider of abortions in the world
“Clinging to a rhetoric about abortion in which there is no life and no death, we entangle our beliefs in a series of self-delusions, fibs and evasions. And we risk becoming precisely what our critics charge us with being: callous, selfish and casually destructive men and women who share a cheapened view of human life…we need to contextualize the fight to defend abortion rights within a moral framework that admits that the death of a fetus is a real death.” Naomi Wolf – Feminist and prominent abortion supporter
Killing a fetus needs to be known for what it is – murder. Natural human instinct along with advancements in scientific understanding and knowledge all point to the fact that life begins at conception.
Even the Bible makes it clear that God is at work on the development of the fetus and also has plans for the life of the child…(emphasis mine)
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm 13913-16
And then comes man and, just like they did with Jesus, murders the child. To drive this point home, I have one last video to show. Viewer discretion is advised as this contains footage of what a murdered fetus looks like.
I show this to shock. Shock you to the truth. Sometimes truth hurts and those who are indifferent to the nature of abortion really need to get this. We are dealing with the lives of the most innocent human beings on the planet.
What’s my view on abortion? I abhor abortion when sexual promiscuity takes place and women fall pregnant and conveniently kill off the child. I abhor abortion when couples fall pregnant unexpectedly and a child will get in the way of their plans.
At the same time, my views are softened when people consider abortion on the grounds of medical reasons. Threats to the child’s or mother’s life, development defects etc. Another grey area for me is pregnancies brought on by sexual assault.
I thank God I have never been in that situation as it would be truly heart wrenching. However, based on the above Scripture, I know that I personally would heavily lean towards non aborting any pregnancy. I have simply come across way too many stories of people who struggled with the thought of abortion – only to choose life for the child. And what wondrous lives these people now live.
Spend an hour to watch this film and tell me what you think. While I do think that radical Islam is a major threat to sovereign nations – as it has been for centuries – I watch this and also think, “how much of a western slant does this film portray?”
When I wrote this post, I had no idea just how popular it was to become. It was the story of Dede – a man in Indonesia who contracted 
Will always remember when I heard Bill Hybels say, “We made a mistake” in regards to the “attractional” or “seeker sensitive” approach. He admitted that this created a breed of shallow and spoon fed Christians. Research by his church concluded that the goal of churches is to create disciples who are “self feeders” and are able to grow in their spiritual maturity and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus.
While I am not a big fan of Rob Bell – mainly because of his emergent type need to need to question everything – I am a fan of this guy’s ability to communicate. A great example of this is his NOOMA series of video’s – short stories designed to draw out conversation on spiritual matters for small groups. I collected all his NOOMA video’s I found online (21 at the time), made a VODPOD collection and posted them on my blog. Worked like a charm until they were deemed copy write and whoever posted them online had to take them off.
This is one post from a series of posts I did on the Nephilim – the hybrid offspring of angels and humans before the flood and the real reason God destroyed the earth. Most Christians (including Reformed) don’t take this topic seriously and brush it off as fantasy. But I invite you to take a journey with me with this series of posts and you will never see history the same way again. Entire series (although unfinished) listed below.
