Thinking Out Loud About Abortion

It is awfully hard to accept the science on global warming, when most of those same folks will not accept the science on abortion.  Many of the arguments for the pro-choice movement are similar to the arguments of the pro-slavery movement.  The baby is not fully human.  It does not possess the same rights as others.  
Genetics tells us, very clearly, that the coming together of the egg and the sperm forms a new human being, distinct from the mother and father, with its own DNA.  There is a heart beat, circulatory system, and organs at twenty-two days.  Science has also proven that babies feel pain, which is what makes abortion so evil. 

Here's my real problem with abortion.  It is rooted in racism.  African-Americans comprise 13% of the US population but account for 36% of all abortions.  Over 11,000 African-American babies are aborted every day.  This is more than all other races combined.  

In our culture, we have to come to believe that experience provides a necessary path to truth.  In the case of abortion, a man has no right to speak on the issue, because he is incapable of having the same experience as a woman.  But experiences can distort our perspective.  They can cause trauma, distortion, bitterness, etc..,   All the more reason to look to God's Word, the Bible, for objective truth.  The Bible is not only pro-life, it is anti-abortion.  God knew us when we were in our mother's womb.  It is there that He knit us together.  John the Baptist leaped while still in his mother's womb.  

Time for us to stop playing God and deciding who lives and dies.  Abortion is the civil rights issue of our time.  A baby has every right to live.  God says so.
