Convenience and Conscience

This is a repost of something I shared on FB.

"Prior to 1973, the United States was a nation whose parents sacrificed so that their kids could have a better future. After the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, our nation became one in which the parents sacrificed their children so that they could have a better future." - Mike Adams

Think about it. This decision has been made over 57,000,000 times in the U.S. alone since abortion has been made legal.

Pray that God would heal our stony hearts so that we as a nation, especially our lawmakers and judges, would stop murdering for convenience.

Pray for those that are hurting because of the effects of an abortion for God alone can heal a wound so deep.

Here is a website that provides a count on abortions throughout several demographics and provides some background and external links for more information.
 

Opinion Bomb

This is too funny not to share. It's also a little too much reality not to share... at least it is to me.

"I have a right to bear arms to protect myself. The government should provide me free firearms since I cannot afford them. The ability to pay should never prevent me from protecting my family from criminals."

Don't know who said it, but I kind of want to shake his or her hand. We should also add for accuracy's sake "from criminals and a reckless, dangerous, or detrimental government."

On the the other hand, President Obama actually ended his speech to Planned Parenthood the other night with the phrase, "God bless Planned Parenthood". I was literally expecting lightning bolts or scaffolding to fall from the ceiling. Folks, the term "reproductive health" is one of the most offensive things I've ever heard.

I pray that everyone using that term to sugar coat the killing of a child for convenience's sake would be blessed with an overwhelming understanding of how infinitely God loves them. I think that perhaps seeing a love so powerful, forgiveness so freely offered, and acceptance so unconditional might just be the thing to heal the hurting heart of someone who pursued "reproductive health" and is now dealing with the crushing, soul-wrenching aftermath of that decision.

Lord, please let your love shine so strongly through your children that it overcomes the darkness.
