A woman on " The View " said the other day, that an unborn baby in his mothers belly, moments away from birth, has no constitutional rights.
A valued person on the outside of his moms body, but surgical waste inside of her...
I'm not thinking about presidential stuff right now, I'm puzzling over how good hearted people can hear things like this, watch it live on television in full 4K resolution and dismiss it as irrelevant...
I'm thinking of words I read years ago from a man describing how in fifty years, abortion will be seen as a far greater genocide than all of Hitlers atrocities and most likely larger and more horrific than all other wars and genocides combined. We are in the middle of the worlds largest global atrocity and we just brush it aside as business as usual...
The sad thing is that it is.
This is our usual...
I wondered for years how everyone back in the days that Christ walked amongst us in human flesh, being present for all the miracles and fulfilled prophesies, swept that all aside and totally missed it. For decades I wondered how they could have managed to deceive themselves enough to reject and crucify who they had to know was legitimate.
They consciously chose to.
They hardened their own hearts, to make it somehow acceptable, somehow palatable...
He was not the Savior they wanted, so they chose to deny Him, murder and crucify Him...
It was not lack of knowledge or education.
It was a premeditated choice and volition; The Pharissees knew where every piece of the puzzle fit, but chose to see something else...
And we are just as culpable today...
We know a baby, moments outside the womb can feel pain. If you're a parent, you can't help but remember the moment of indescribable joy when first holding your newborn child, finally understanding the definition of true beauty and perfection; you realize that this amazing lump of miracle in your arms is more important than almost any other human on the planet, for that first, and most all following moments...
I remember my Wonderful Wife's blood pressure drastically dropping and her losing consciousness in the middle of my second McMonkeys birth, and the terror I felt as visions of losing both of them possessed my mind. We decided before this, if it were a choice between her life or his, we would choose his...
You don't have conversations like that over pieces of skin; you don't hold hands sitting on a bed, with tears in your eyes over the possibilities of miscarriage, over just spittles of blood and tissue...
You don't silently pray with all your heart for the life of a few cells...
So please don't try pulling that crap on me that a baby in the womb is anything less than one outside it; please don't try to deceive me with justifiying words and measured days on the calendar, that at any time these little miracles, wherever they reside, are not completely viable and wholly perfect at every single stage God brings them thru...
The simple fact is this:
This is our time with Jesus. We look at these truths and CHOOSE either to accept them or deny them; we have no other option.
God knows our heart.
Let me say that again.
God KNOWS our heart.
Someone can stand on a stage before crowds of ten thousand spouting outright lies about the right to murder; they can use all the acceptable words to remove any semblance of humanity from the ones in this world who don't even have the power to utter a sound.
The heartbeat is just biological noise...
Not a real person...
You KNOW the moment you first hear that heartbeat at the doctors office, the first time you see that amazing blip flashing in unison to the funky tone coming out that speaker, that this is alive and precious and real...
WE KNOW THEY ARE ALIVE...
God knows that we know...
Let me say that again.
God KNOWS that we know...
I can stand in front of Him at the end of my life and try to open textbooks collected to assuage my guilts and conscience, trying to prove to Him that I had some kind of plausible deniability, that I was confused or misled...
But He knows...
Just like He Knew that the Pharissees had all the information they needed, but their hearts were hard, hardened against Him long before, in choice...
We can't con Him on this...
We are all going to answer for our choices, who we empower and what they do...
For what we do, and more importantly, what we don't do...
I still don't think laws will fix all the problems surrounding abortion...
But maybe acknowledging and following Gods law might help us find the wisdom for the rest of it...
He did have an opinion on this...
He had clear commands on this...
He still does...
