This is not John's usual upbeat topic about Christ's victorious Life. I like the non sequitur , " well actually I DO support mothers and babies who do not go ahead with abortion.

This weekend we lost one of the most perverse and murderous butchers in human history. Ironically but not surprisingly, this infanticidal judge with the blood of 60 million children on her hands, is being celebrated even by many “progressive” Christians who (butt-hurt over religion or just looking for attention) must prove contrarian to anything smacking of even the basic tenets of their supposed faith, such as “thou shalt not kill.”
In the bifurcation of today’s polarized society, everyone politically demonizes “the other side.” But some issues stand as an unequivocal evil which must be opposed at all cost, by all people, even at the price of being labeled draconian, religious, regressive or “right wing.”
Many have drank the murderous swill of abortion’s justifications:
“It’s the woman’s body.”
Yes, and the child’s, who has a right to life.
“If it’s outlawed they’ll still do it in an unsafe way.”
Apply that justification to pedophiles (unfortunately you may already have). There is never a safe abortion for the child.
“This is about women’s rights.”
Unborn women also have rights. Save the baby humans.
“You should talk about taking care of them after they are born!”
I do. Every month I feed, house and educate dozens of unwanted orphans I’ve taken in. Are you? Or are you just repeating a talking point? There are countless agencies, prospective adoptive parents, taxpayer subsidies ... plenty of safety nets in today’s society willing to rescue children, without implementing whatever socio-economic restructuring you’re trying to wedge in to the issue. This is not only a red herring argument, but is shameless audacity to claim moral high ground by advocating for cold-blooded murder in lieu of a child support check.
“What about immigration, racism, universal healthcare...”
Hangon. Let me stop you right there. You mistake me for someone entrenched in this two-party, political bullshit in which I’m not a card carrying member. So none of those are remotely relevant to the issue at hand.
I can’t cover all the shallow platitudes people use to justify ripping innocent children from the womb. But if you can’t call it murder, you WILL be on the wrong side of history ... mark my words. If you find this topic unpleasant, try taking a moment of introspection and ask Christ to show you His opinion on this (not to be confused with the voice of your own calloused conscience). You could also try picking up those dusty scriptures off the shelf, if you still have the humility to glean from them.
*And by the way, if you have aborted a child, you are forgiven, loved and fully accepted by Christ. Let yours be a voice that now rescues lives and helps scared young mothers battling with this very decision.
Annual #abortion rant over. See you next year.
