The abortion issue seems to center upon whether the fetus is a living person or just a part of the mother. If it is a person, aborting the fetus is murder. If it is just a part of the mother, aborting the fetus is just a procedure. There is a broad gap between the two ideas.
Questions:
Does a body part resemble an entire human being?
Does a body part have a heart?
Does a body part have a brain?
Does a body part have a tiny little face?
Does a body part cry out when it is cut out?
Does a body part live after it is removed?
Does a body part have a soul?
Does a body part have a spirit?
Does a body part get a name before it is removed?
Does a body part kick its “mother” in the womb?
Does a body part look like a human in an ultrasound?
Does a body part leave the body and cry for “Momma”?
Does a body part leave the body with mom wanting to hold it?
Does a body part being removed cause guilt and shame?
Does a body part have millions fighting for its right to live?
Who can honestly answer these questions and say that a fetus (child) removed from the mother’s womb through abortion is just a body part? That is a lie and everyone knows it.
The baby in the womb is as much a child as an eagle is an eagle while still in the egg. Yet we make laws to protect eagle eggs and make other laws to allow the murder of our children. Our elected officials who make the laws and those who support them ought to be ashamed. The doctors and nurses who carry out the abortion procedures should be ashamed. Any mother who aborts her child should be ashamed.
We are a confused and evil nation. We need to repent of this national disgrace and fight for the lives of those tiny, unborn humans beings.
