I frequently see a disturbing television commercial of dogs left out in the snow. The dogs are thin, shaking from the cold and some seem to be injured. The heart wrenching scenes are accompanied by an urgent request for donations, so abused and neglected dogs can be rescued before it is too late. I feel bad for those dogs.
I also see stories on the internet of animals being tortured and killed. The story usually includes details of an arrest and charges. These heartless villains will have to pay for their cruelty and will suffer the shame and outrage from a public that won’t stay silent!
The one thing I don’t see on television and very little on the internet is tales of babies being killed in their mother’s womb. With over 800,000 killed annually in the US, you’d think there would be more of a public outcry! Why are the people who want your money to save dogs, silent about helpless babies being killed? Where are the arrests and what about the shame and public outrage? This silence is literally killing the babies!
Sadly, this problem isn’t new. It’s just become an accepted part of our society. After our courts ruled it is legal to kill an unborn baby, we have been fighting to try and stop it or at least lessen the number of deaths. Debates rage on about when life begins, to no avail. Modern technology allows us to clearly see living babies in the womb. He or she reacts to pain, moves to get comfortable and can be soothed or disturbed by their mother. Prematurely born children survive at much earlier stages than before. Heroic rescues of babies, even when the mother dies, prove the viability of these children. Why are there no impassioned pleas for action? Our silence is acceptance. Is it acceptable to you?
After years of successfully fighting off late term abortions, New York passed a law that allows a baby to be killed just before birth. How can that happen in a country that is supposed to treasure and protect human life? You voted those politicians into office, now we have to live with the results, or die if you are an unborn baby. Those who support killing babies say they are protecting the mother’s rights. What about the baby’s right to live? If a baby makes it out, they are protected, but the same baby can be killed while inside the mother. Will they burn the fully developed child to death or cut them into pieces, like less developed babies? If the baby’s head pops out, can they push them back in and kill it? We don’t inflict that much pain when executing criminals. It sounds horrible because it is and even more horrible is our silence!
Yes our courts said killing babies is legal and New York has gone even farther, but there is a price to pay. GOD clearly commanded “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13 KJV) and babies are being killed. In the New Testament, where “grace abounds,” JESUS said “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones” (Luke 17:2 KJV). That is how much GOD loves the children you want to kill. If you have sinned you can be forgiven, because GOD loves you like He loves those babies. You are His precious child and He “gave His only begotten son” to pay for your sins, if you turn from your wicked ways and accept His forgiveness.
