As I look at current events and see that Roe vs. Wade may possibly be overturned soon, I thought an article on the subject of the sanctity of life would be especially poignant. According to statistics, as a result of Roe vs. Wade, more than 52 million unborn children were killed in the U.S. just between 1973-2010. The number has skyrocketed since then. In fact, abortion has taken more lives than all the wars the U.S. has ever fought combined.
Abortion is murder. Psalm 139:13-16 and Jeremiah 1:5 clearly point to the fact that unborn children are people created in God’s image. Since all humans are created in the image of God, it is never appropriate to take the life of anyone–whether unborn, mentally ill, or elderly.
In fact, I consider abortion (as well as euthanasia) humanism, because in the act of intentionally taking another’s life, man is putting himself in the position of God, Who alone is the Author of human life!
We as Christians have a great responsibility to protect and defend those who are defenseless. We ought to stand up for life, support pro-life organizations, and vote for candidates who will protect the unborn. Anything we can do to help is a step in the right direction.
Let’s stand up for what is right today!
