Sunday, Jan. 19, was designated “Sanctity of Life” Sunday across the Southern Baptist Convention.
The biggest concern of that movement is, of course, abortion. Abortion has become the primarily
concern of most liberal politicians and left-wing organizations. It is the “holy grail” of the left’s political
journey.
Over the years, pro-abortionists have defended their positions in many ways, all of which can be
answered quickly and sensibly. Not all abortion supporters look at it the same way. For some, it is a
question of when life begins. Those hold different standards for that, usually, though, ending up at “life
begins at birth.” I heard a minister say that! We believe what science says: life begins at conception.
A pro-abortion woman asked this to a lady who was speaking against abortion: “So you are saying that
an acorn is a tree?” She responded: “Yes. When it germinates, it is indeed a tiny tree growing until it
become a full-grown tree. But a tree nonetheless.” Another woman posted a picture of some eggs, flour,
sugar, and vanilla flavoring and said: “This is not a cake.” Someone responded: “it is not. But when you
mix it all together and place it in a heated oven, it is. No one has ever asked someone to check the oven
and see if the batter has become a cake. Likewise, a sperm is not a baby and an egg is not a baby. But
when they are joined together in the womb … they are a baby.” Life begins at conception.
However, as an overwhelming number of the pro-abortion faction now recognize that life may, indeed,
begin at conception, they have shown their true colors: some life is more valuable than others. A baby
in the womb is less valuable than a baby out of the womb. A baby in the womb is less valuable than the
“poor quality of life” of motherhood.
In uncivilized times in the past, when a baby is born and the parents do not want it, they would just
abandon the baby to die. We are vastly more civilized than that, aren’t we? We would not abandon a
child to die … we just kill them in the womb. Much, much more civilized, isn’t it?
Say good things about your Savior.
