The subject of “abortion” is very much in the news and on social media so much the time. Some say that until a baby is born, it is just a blob of tissue. Others say that it is a person from the very act of conception. It is going to be very important in our coming election. It may decide the election of many elected offices, even the Presidency. Thus, it seems important for each of us to form an accurate opinion on the subject. What standard should we use for that opinion. Those of us who are Christians should probably use the Bible (God’s Word) as our primary reference. I hope that the following words will be helpful to you in forming that opinion for yourself:
Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, was in Mary’s womb from the Annunciation, when the Angel announced to her, “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus” and she responded, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” The Angel continued: “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” At that very moment, she conceived. This is the foundational Christian doctrine called the Incarnation, when “the Word became flesh.” and she responded, “Behold thehandmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.”
The Gospel of Luke continued with anotheraccount confirmingthat a child in the womb was alive: “‘And behold, yourkinswoman Elizabeth in herold age has also conceived a son; and this is thesixth month withher who was called barren’ …When Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb.”
Other Scriptures testify that a baby in the womb is a living person: Genesis 25:21-23 “And Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Isaiah 49:1,5 “The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name … he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him.”
Psalm 22:10 “Thou art my Godfrom my mother’s belly.”
Galatians 1:15 “He who had set me apart before I was born, andwho called me byhis grace.”
Psalm 139:13-15 “You did form my inward parts, you knit me together in my mother’s womb … you knew me right well; my frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret.”
Abortion became legal in all nine months of pregnancy on JANUARY 22, 1973, with the Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.
Norma McCorvey, whowas the “Jane Roe” in the Roe v.Wade suit, wasinterviewed 23years later by USAToday.She stated that once, while employed at a
clinic when no one was in: “I went into the procedure room and laid down on the table … trying to imagine what it would be like having an abortion … I broke down and cried.”
On ABC’s World News Tonight, Norma McCorveysaid:”I think abortion’swrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong.”
Proverbs 6 states: “The Lord hates … hands that shed innocent blood.” Nothing is more innocent than a baby who has never sinned.
2 Kings 21 “Manasseh … sacrificed his own son in the fire … The Lord said … ‘Manassehking of Judah hascommitted these detestable sins …Therefore … I amgoing to bringsuch disaster’ …… Manasseh also shed so much innocent blood thathe filled Jerusalem from end to end.”
2 Chronicles 33:33 “Manasseh… did that whichwas evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out
before the childrenof Israel.”
What about the pastors and church members who think they are being more spiritual by not getting involved politically to end abortion?
Leviticus 20 ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner… who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death … If the members of the community close
their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molek … I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off.”
It will be a rude awakening for those who think they are holier-than-thou by not getting involved to stop the killing of innocent life when they wake up to find by their silence they are giving consent to sin and will be judged! The manytranslations of Proverbs 24:11-12 make it clearthat God will judge those who do nothing to stop the killing of the innocent: “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’tstand back and let them die. Don’t try to disclaim responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. ForGod, who knows all hearts, knows yours, and he knows you knew! And he will reward
his deeds.” (TLB) “Don’t fail to rescue those who are doomed to die. Don’t say, ‘I didn’t know it!’ God can read your mind. He watches each of us and knows our thoughts. And God will pay us back for what we do.” (CEV)
“If you see someone on their way to death or in danger of being killed, you must do something to save them. You cannot say, “It’s none of my business.” The Lord knows everything, and he knows why you do things. He watches you, and he will pay you back for what you do.” (ERV) “If you excuse yourself, saying, ‘Look, we didn’t know anything about this,’ doesn’t God, who knows what you are really thinking, understand your motives? Isn’t your Protector aware of why you aren’t protecting the innocent? Will He not repay you in kind?” (VOICE)
In other words, folks, a just God will judge a nationwhich knowingly allows the unjust killing of the innocent. If God does not judge, His silence would be giving consent to the sin, and if God gives consent to sin, He is no longer a just God. He would be denying His just nature — He would be denying Himself. And 2nd Timothy 2:13 states: “God cannot deny Himself.” He will judge a nation that does not repent ofsins.
An individual believer is saved by believing that Jesus took the judgement for their sins upon the cross, but whatabout a nation? Colonel George Mason, a foundingfather from Virginia,stated at theConstitutionalConvention, August22, 1787:”As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the nextworld, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain ofcauses and effects, Providence punishes national sins by national calamities.” He added that national sins: ” … bring the judgment of Heaven on a country.”
When Cain killed Abel, the Lord asked him: “What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.” If the blood of one innocent person, Abel, cries out for judgement, how deafening is the cry from 60 million innocent unborn babies killed in the United States since 1973, in addition to an estimated one billion abortions globally? Populations of western countries are declining, due, in part, to the attitude of Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, who wrote in Woman and the New Race (chapter 5, “The Wickedness of
Creating Large Families,” 1920): “The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it” Sanger stated: “No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child … without a permit.”
Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood, was President and Leader if it for two reasons: So that defective people in the US would not pass on their defects to others, and primarily so that Black People would not become a large part of the US population. So, the largest ethnic
group affected by abortion are African-Americans, as nearly 20 million black babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade.
Kevin McCray is President of Every Black Life Matters. Supporters held up a sign at the March for Life, 2020, which read: “Black Lives Matter – Even in the Womb.”
Alveda King, niece of civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., founded the National Black Pro-Life Coalition. Alveda King told CNSNews.com (Dec. 5, 2016): “Abortion is … designed for population control … The numbers are higher in the African American community, so that’s certainly black genocide …… We also discovered that once black people are made aware of the genocidal eugenics by abortion that the community will speak out.”
The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger stated: “The purpose of the American Baby Code shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies … and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit. Feeble minded persons … and others found biologically unfit by authorities … should be sterilized or, in cases of doubt, should be so isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.” Knowledge of birth control is essentially moral. Its general, though prudent, practice must lead to a higher individuality and ultimately to a cleaner race. (“Morality and Birth Control”, February-March, 1918, pp. 11,14.)
Sanger was quoted in “Apostle of Birth Control Sees Cause Gaining Here” (The New York Times, April 8, 1923, p. XII): “Birth control is
… cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective
stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”
In 1926, Margaret Sanger spoke to a KKK group, as cited in her Autobiography, (1938): “Always to me any aroused group was a good group and
Therefore, I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.”
She stated in a radio interview on WFAB Syracuse, February 2, 1924 (“The Meaning of Radio Birth Control,” April 1924, p.111): “Just think for a moment of the meaning of the word kindergarten — a garden of children … In this matter we should not do less than follow the example of the
professional gardener. Every expert gardener knows that the individual plant must be properly spaced, rooted in a rich nourishing soil, and provided with sufficient air and sunlight. He knows that no plant would have a fair chance of life if it were overcrowded or choked by weeds … If plants, and live-stock as well, require space and air, sunlight and love, children need them even more … A farmer would rather produce a thousand thoroughbreds than a million runts. How are we to breed a race of human thoroughbreds unless we follow the same plan? We must make this country into a garden of children instead of a disorderly back lot overrun with human weeds.”
Margaret Sanger’s address to the New History Society, New York City, January 1, 1932, was summarized in “A Plan for Peace,” April 1932, pp.107-108: “Keep the doors of immigration closed to the entrance of certain aliens whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race, such as feebleminded, idiots, morons, insane, syphilitic, epileptic … and others in this class barred by the immigration laws of 1924 … Apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring … Insure the country against future burdens of maintenance for numerous offspring as may be born of feebleminded parents, by pensioning all persons with transmissible disease who voluntarily consent to sterilization … Give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.”
Sanger stated in Pivot of Civilization (1922, chapter 12, “Woman and the Future”): “We are informed that the psychological examination of the drafted men indicated that nearly half – 47.3 per cent. – of the population had the mentality of twelve-year-old children or less – in other words that they are morons … Our ‘overhead’ expense in segregating the delinquent, the defective and the dependent, in prisons, asylums and permanent homes, our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying … demonstrate our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism. No industrial corporation could maintain its existence upon such a foundation. Yet hardheaded ‘captains of industry,’ financiers who pride themselves upon their cool-headed and keen-sighted business ability are dropping millions into rosewater philanthropies and charities that are silly at best and vicious at worst.”
So, folks, Planned Parenthood does most all of the abortions in the United States. Now you know what is founder and “guiding light” thought about the subject and why she started it in the first place.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote inhis concurringopinion of Box v.PlannedParenthood ofIndiana andKentucky, May 28,
2019: “In a report titled ‘Birth Control and the Negro,’ Sanger and her coauthors identified blacks as ‘the great problem of the South’ — ‘the group with “the greatest economic, health, and social problems”’ — and developed a birth-control program geared toward this population.
She later emphasized that black ministers should be involved in the program, noting, ‘We do not want wordto go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who canstraighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of theirmore rebellious members.’”
A statement printed in Sanger’s pamphlet The Woman Rebel 914: NY, National Archives): “Birth control appeals to the advanced radical
because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing humanity free someday of the tyranny of
Christianity no less than capitalism.” ………….. So, there you have the purpose and creed of the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Justice Thomas continued in his opinion: “Some black groups saw ‘family planning as a euphemism for race genocide’ and believed that
‘black people were taking the brunt of the ‘planning’ under Planned Parenthood’s ‘ghetto approach’ to distributing its services. ‘The Pittsburgh branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,’ for example, criticized family planners as bent on trying to keep the Negro birth rate as low as possible’ … These observations echo the views articulated by the eugenicists and by Sanger decades earlier: ‘Birth Control of itself … will make a better race’ and tend ‘toward the elimination of the unfit.'”
The US Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton as a national law and left it to each individual state whether it should be the law in that state. So, it now is “the Law” in some states and not in others.
President Reagan addressed the March for Life, January 22, 1985: “I’m convinced, as I know you are, that our responsibility to the 12th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton must be to rededicate ourselves to ending the terrible national tragedy of abortion.”
President Donald J. Trump addressed the thousands who gathered for the annual March for Life, January 20, 2018: “The March for Life is a movement born out of love … You love every child, born and unborn, because you believe that every life is sacred, that every child is a precious gift from God. We know that life is the greatest miracle of all. We see it in the eyes of every new mother who cradles that wonderful, innocent, and glorious newborn child in her loving arms … Because of you, tens of thousands of Americans have been born and reached their full, God-given potential – because of you. As you all know, Roe vs. Wade has resulted in some of the most permissive abortion laws anywhere in the world. The United States, it’s one of only seven countries to allow elective late-term abortions, along with China, North Korea, and others. Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow a baby to be torn from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong; it has to change.”
President Trump continued his March for Life address: “Americans are more and more pro-life. You see that all the time. In fact, only 12
percent of Americans support abortion on demand at any time. Under my administration, we will always defend the very first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is the right to life.
Trump concluded: “Today, I’m announcing that we have just issued a new proposal to protect conscience rights and religious freedoms of
doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. So important. I have also just reversed the previous administration’s policy that restricted states’ efforts to direct Medicaid funding away from abortion facilities that violate the law. We are protecting the sanctity of life and the family as the foundation of our society … That is why we march. That is why we pray. And that is why we declare that America’s future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity, and life for every child of God.”
Ronald Reagan wrote in his article, “Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation,” The Human Life Review, 1983: “Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should be slaves … Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion.” Proverbs 13:22 states: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” America’s founders cared about their “children’s children,” called “posterity.” The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution, 1787, states: “We the people of the United States, in order to … secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution.” If the Constitution is to “secure the blessings of liberty” to “our posterity,” then the unborn need to be protected.
On January 14,1988, President Reagan asked that personhood” be recognized for the unborn: “The well-being and future of our country demand that protection of the innocents must be guaranteed and that the personhood of the unborn be declared and defended throughout our land.” Psalm 127:3: “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.”
