Deut 18:9-14 ~ 9-When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou
shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10-
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter
to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of
times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11- Or a charmer, or a consulter with
familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12- For all that do these
things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the
LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13- Thou shalt be perfect
with the LORD thy God. 14- For these nations, which thou shalt possess,
hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD
thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
Recently, I was brought
to the edge of my seat reviewing a story of how multiple and sizeable protests
broke out in Warsaw Poland when the Polish Supreme Court ruled against abortion
in case of fetal defects.
Hammered out in 1993 and
for the last 27 years, Poles have had the right under law to abortion in case
of fetal defect, rape, incest and life of the mother.
I was intrigued because there were over 100,000 protestors, mainly youth, who
hit the streets immediately all saying that their "right" to kill a
baby with a birth or material defect (which is in essence ableism) should be
protected. This has led to multiple and ongoing protests, church
vandalization and interruption of church services in many places as most people
associate abortion restrictions with the church's position on a baby's right to
life and "life at conception" doctrines embraced since Poland became
a free country and apart from Communist rule.Ableism & It's
Practical Implications
Ableism ~
DISCRIMINATION in favor of those who
are able bodied. It is the discrimination of and social prejudice against
people with disabilities based on the belief that typical physical abilities
are superior. At its heart, ableism is rooted in the assumption that disabled
people require 'fixing' and defines the worth or value of people by their
disability
Whether knowingly or
unknowingly, these young people were not only promoting death of innocents, but
also discrimination in the process. I would venture to say that if asked nearly
all of them would disagree with any form of discrimination. I also
venture to say that many of them would also disagree with the killing or murder
of any innocent person, but yet they are victims of their own logical inconsistency
and irrational belief that children with birth defects such as Down Syndrome,
or other physical defects in vitro, are less than human and not deserving of a
right to live or exist. This is not only shocking but appalling! The mass
appeal to kill babies made me shudder.
Certainly this is not
unique to Poland nor the EU. It seems that all around the world, in many
"developed" countries under both Communist and Democratic rule, the
right to kill babies is almost a non-negotiable, and in some cases, required
part of life.
For example, in Georgia,
Pastor Rafael Warnock, who we have featured in our article,
"
Politics, Abortion LUNACY & IGNORANCE" who is also running for Georgia US Senator, claims
that the right to abortion, is not only consistent with biblical values, but
also American freedoms and freedoms in general and he is willing to fight or
that right.
"I believe that healthcare is a human right, and I believe that it is
something that the richest nation in the world provides for its citizens, and
for me reproductive justice is consistent with my commitment to that. I believe
unequivocally in a woman's right to choose, and that the decision is something
that we don't want government engaged in. That's between her, and her doctor,
and her minister..."
This man’s statement is
much worse than it looks and he, surprisingly, is not ashamed. You mean to tell
me that he doesn’t believe that the government should intervene in the murder
of babies??? And that, a FATHER, y’u-know a MAN, that FATHERED the baby does
not have any decisions in the rights and wellbeing of the child??? That a "doctor", and "minister", somehow become proxy director of the child’s life after
fertilization???
This is COMIC-BOOK Christianity! Totally unworthy sentiments of a leader
committed to the security and wellbeing of the innocents and preservation of
the integrity of the gospel!
The good Rev-Rund can't have the spotlight all to himself, however.
In a puzzling statement
that misses the complete picture of the sanctity of life, destroys the biblical
texts and that completely distorts facts, more than 5,000 pastors, calling
themselves "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" who also “CLAIM”, to be
against abortion and abortion politics, took time, prior to the election, to
sign their name to their endorsement of Joe Biden.
Be clear, Joe Biden
openly and unashamedly embraces not only abortion, but abortion in its most
vile form (late term abortion) even up to the point of birth. Their
SHODDY statement said
the following:
"AS PRO-LIFE EVANGELICALS, WE DISAGREE WITH
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION. BUT
WE BELIEVE A BIBLICALLY SHAPED COMMITMENT TO THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE COMPELS
US TO A CONSISTENT ETHIC OF LIFE THAT AFFIRMS THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE FROM
BEGINNING TO END."
In their borderline
endorsement of socialism and full rejection of the biblical view of the
sanctity of human life, these alleged "ministers" go on to rationalize that since a primary cause of
abortion within the United States is associated with "economics" and concerns
over financial welfare and wellbeing of the mother, and that since Joe Biden allegedly
has a "plan" to address economic security, they felt that their
endorsement of him would be well placed, even in disagreement over
abortion.
Not to be overly political here, but I don't know what planet these APOSTATES
were living on! Prior to coronavirus, EVERY SEGMENT of America, including
Blacks and minorities were at historic levels of employment, income security
and financial growth. Under President Trump the country had not experienced
such economic advancement and productivity since reconstruction. So, in
essence, their narrative was and is a completely false and one undeserving of
their title of leaders within the body of Christ.
The State
Then there is the State,
that seemingly loves the right to kill children. Look at Massachusetts which
has consistently tried to expand abortion law unsuccessfully. Although 62% of
MA citizens don’t want late term or expanded abortion to be legalized within
their state when given the opportunity to respond. However, the majority
liberals within MA legislature are bent on making sure that children can be
killed all the way up until they are born by recently proposing to add late
term abortion services and finances to the State budget through what is called Amendment
759. Supporting Bills have been presented such as Bill S1209 and Bill H3220.
The proposed measures allows
abortions when:
“the patient is beyond 24 weeks from the
commencement of pregnancy and the abortion is necessary to protect the
patient’s life or physical or mental health, or in cases of lethal fetal
abnormalities, or where the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside
the uterus.”
Sounds reasonable to
many right? However Pro-life advocates reveal the more in-depth issues
associated with the Bills:
“the
bill would enable girls as young as 12 to obtain abortions without any adult,
except the abortionist, knowing about it,” and would “remove life-saving
medical equipment from rooms where abortions are performed, risking the lives
of babies, Massachusetts citizens, who survive the procedure.”
Then there is New Jersey
who seeks to do the same using the Affirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, who
personally opposes abortion, to the US Supreme Court as an opportunity to
make a push to ratify the “Reproductive Freedom Act” which would make abortion
at any point through pregnancy and for any reason, a fundamental right within
the State.
Governor Phil Murphy recently
said:
“As access to health care
and the right to choose are under attack at the federal level, we will support,
defend, and protect reproductive rights here in New Jersey,”…“The Reproductive
Freedom Act will remove barriers to reproductive health, as well as expand
access to contraception while reaffirming choice. Together, we stand unwavering
in our commitment to work towards reproductive freedom for all New Jerseyans.”
Further and same old problems
persist however. Although religious organization exemptions appear to remain in
place, under New Jersey proposals the right of conscience that protects medical
professionals from engaging in procedures to which they are profoundly opposed,
would be repealed. Non-physicians will be allowed to provide or commit
abortions, and children aka: minors, will also be able to secure abortions
without knowledge or consent of parents.
The right to kill babies
and life in-vitro is seemingly a "right of passage" and option that
humanity is not willing to live without.
Licensed To Kill
Within America, since
Roe v Wade in 1972, there have been an estimated over 50 million babies killed
through the process of legalized abortion. Her Black community has been so
devastated by abortion (some counting to the average tune of 757 children per
day since 1973 or 13,000,000). Blacks are now the 2nd leading minority
within the United States by sheer numbers and according to the CDC abortions of
Black children are nearly 61% of all Black child births annually. Reporting in
the most recent year (2018) there were 552,029 total Black individual (adult
and child) births and 335,667 total Black (adult and child) deaths (2017).
According to most recent available numbers from the CDC (2016) Black child
abortions average 377 per day or 137,510 for 2016. Providing that the average
number of abortions or trends are consistent, when estimated abortions of Black
children are figured in (138,000/yr) Black adult and child deaths are nearly
86% of Black adult and child births at a 473,667 annual average. If these
numbers are consistent, the Black community is growing at a net rate of 80,000
individuals per year. Hardly enough to continue as a "leading"
minority, and at some point the death rate will eclipse the birth rate.
This makes it an imperative
to look at abortion and its effects upon the community and in this case, the
Black community in particular. The slogan has been that “BLACK LIVES MATTER”,
however, if we truly value lives within the community, and especially Black lives,
and want the community to survive, be healthy and well, this issue cannot be
overlooked and go without thorough and adequate examination and a demand for protections for the unborn, and greater care for women and families who decide that they cannot raise and or parent their newborn child.
Conclusion Pt. 1
In Part 2 of this article, I will explore the theological dynamic of what we are seeing with a demand for abortion and the alleged link to "women's healthcare". We will examine how the practice of killing children pre and post birth has existed for thousands of years, is wholly inconsistent with Biblical Christianity, and has been part of the sin condition of mankind regardless of the governmental system under which these atrocities are regulated.
Abortion and the murder of the innocents is NOT solely a political problem, nor is it solely a mere social problem. It is a spiritual problem. It is a problem that begins and ends with SIN and the resultant rebellion of man against the image in which he/she was created. The very image of God!
Blessed
