Life and Motherhood
Begin at Conception
The
Reproductive Health Act abortion bill was just passed by New York legislators. To
the dismay of many, this ‘progressive’ state legislation went through on
Tuesday, January 22, 2019, on the 46th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade,
which, in 1973, legalized abortion in the U.S. Tragically, it sets a precedent
that will be hard to reverse as time goes on and it catches on in other states
and countries. When will we finally
come to understand what science and DNA have already proven: Human life and motherhood both begin at conception?
The
Reproductive Health Act, the bill passed in New York this past week is a
travesty, one which endangers the lives of both vulnerable pregnant women, and
pre-born babies, alike. However, according to its name, it is a misnomer. Abortion
is, in actuality, an all-out assault on human life that is not about healthcare
at all, as it is not health ‘care,’ For decades medical practitioners have
taken the Hippocratic Oath, ‘do no harm.’
Nor is abortion ‘just politics’ as many suggest with conventional wisdom, like
religion, both topics that ‘should not be discussed.’ Rather, abortion is a life
and death moral and legal issue, one
relating to end of life decisions, worthy of civil discourse.
What Makes This
Legislation Different
The
Reproductive Health Act is being proudly hailed by some people who think it is
ok to take the life of a pre-born baby up
until birth. It also allows for anyone to perform an abortion rather than a
skilled physicians. This new legislation allows non-physicians
to perform abortions in New York—people with little or no training or
experience or any connection to medical facilities in the event that emergent
care is needed for botched abortions, once again, endangering vulnerable women.
A
direct assault on women and unborn babies, this bill was passed by NY
legislators with great celebration and revelry. Even prominent building
structures across New York City were lit up in pink to celebrate the passage of
this bill. Historically, if someone were to kill a newborn, they would go to
jail for murder. Apparently that has all changed in New York through this
legislation. So where is the line? Where is the difference between that and
aborting an innocent preborn baby?
With
63 million pre-born babies aborted in the U.S. via the abortion industry since
Roe vs Wade legalized abortion in 1973, abortion is big business—and involves a
lot of money. The tenets of Judeo-Christian beliefs support human life from
conception to natural death. Biblically, morally, and legally, no one has the
right to end a human life, especially including the abortion of preborn babies.
No one has the right to take the life of another, much less based on race,
gender, birth defects, like Down Syndrome, or even inconvenience, all things that
Margaret Sanger taught when she started Planned Parenthood. One can only ask
this question: Is this the gateway to assisted suicide of those who are
unwanted or imperfect? What will the consequences of such depravity?
Ideological Contagion
The Reproductive Health
Act is
beyond immoral, preying on vulnerable women and destroying unborn babies lives
in the name of women’s rights is reprehensible. Vermont, California, and New
Mexico recently announced that they are already on a similar path. We have
just opened the proverbial floodgates and it makes one wonder. If humanity has
lost its moral compass, what will happen next?
