Some are saying men shouldn’t be allowed to make laws about women’s bodies. So does that mean men get no say about the right to life of their own gender? What about the roughly 30 million baby boys who have been aborted? Who speaks for them? And are we to believe the 30 million little girls were on board with their lives being snuffed out?
The woman carrying the baby is only part of the equation. One could make a case that the father should have some say in the matter as well – especially in cases where conception is a result of two consenting adults. But even if you don’t want to give the father any say in the matter, the person with the most to lose is the child.
Who speaks for the innocent unborn? As my husband says, “Who gives people a voice who don’t have a voice? Who gives people a choice who don’t have a choice?”
Who defends the defenseless?
In 2015, there were 188 abortions per 1,000 live births. That’s close to 19%. What kind of society destroys 19% of the population and never bats an eye, never feels remorse? Goes out and celebrates the destruction?
One ripening for its own destruction!
What Price Are We Paying?
Make no mistake, the price for this horrific crime against humanity is hefty.
I have been pondering on the price we pay as a nation for the deaths of 60 million children since Row v Wade was passed in 1973. How can there not be consequences for such a mass destruction of life? After thinking on this for some time, a question came into my mind: “Who are you missing? Who isn’t here?”
1/5 of the family of God … our brothers and sisters who would have been born since 1973 are not here. Statistically we are missing 1.2 million geniuses. Who isn’t here to cure cancer? To cure AIDS? To invent solutions for the world’s greatest crisis? What problems aren’t being solved because those who would have solved them aren’t here? How many soul mates and friends are we missing?
Think of those who go to war and make it back but their buddies don’t. Think of the pain and guilt the living suffer knowing they made it but their friends didn’t. Might the living be suffering something similar on a soul level?
We may not consciously know our friends are missing but do we suffer spiritually because they are not here? Is this why so many suffer from depression and despondency and a feeling that they don’t belong here? As if there is this inexplicable mourning? There are no secrets on the spiritual plane. What price are we as a nation paying for the destruction of so many souls?
Something to think about…
