Life
and Motherhood Begin at Conception
One can only wonder if
proponents of The Reproductive Health Act abortion bill that was passed by the
New York legislature on January 22nd, 2019 understand the dire physical,
emotional, mental, and most importantly, spiritual ramifications of their actions.
Have they actually witnessed first-hand, personally, or experientially through
others, what they just voted in? It is doubtful, as some find it is easy to stand
tall for what they ideologically believe, avoiding the harsh realities of what
they consider to be truth. In this case, it is a common strategy many
legislators are using to circumvent this simple scientific truth: Life and motherhood begin at conception rather than what some mistakenly believe,
at birth.
Birth:
The First Civil Right
At
this juncture, it would be folly to underestimate the everyday workings of the
lucrative abortion industry at-large, and the resulting fallout from their
ending lives before they even get started. It is critically important not to
confuse ignorance with evil in all of this. There is a huge difference, and it
seems that the latter prevails in this calculated legislative decision made by
New York law makers, that denies the unborn their first and most basic civil
right: The right to be born. The
right to be born is a universal, God-given right, and life and motherhood begin
at conception.
Abortion,
PTSD and Depression
I have met too many women who have aborted their
babies, then went on to suffer with unrelenting, untreated PTSD, depression and
unresolved, vague medical issues for the rest of their lives as a result of having
made the traumatic life-ending decision to abort their babies. Mind-body
illnesses can be the direct or indirect result of experiencing traumatic events
such as a late-term abortion. Many mothers need to be encouraged to seek help
to heal after an abortion.
My heart is broken for the pregnant mothers who feel
they have no other option but to abort when they unexpectedly become pregnant. However,
I am heartened by the use of ultrasound machines at Pro-life Women’s Center’s to
introduce pregnant women to their pre-babies, thereby helping them decide
against abortion. Fortunately, there is a program called Rachel’s Vineyard that
can help women heal after having a abortion.
I grieve and pray for those swept up in the wake of this
tragic legislation, thinking that the merciless killing of their baby is the
only way out of motherhood. My heart aches for the pain the infants suffer as
they are violently killed and painfully dismembered in the womb, never to have
the privilege of experiencing the life God intended for them.
Judeo-Christian
Perspective
Who
will tell the proponents and followers of this legislation that they are
setting a national, even international, trend that is in direct opposition to Judeo-Christian
teaching? Would they care? The Bible tells us we will reap what we sow, and
that judgement belongs to God alone. It is not our job to judge anyone.
That job is already taken. But discernment says that it is time to revisit Row
vs Wade, as we step up the ladder of depravity on this slippery slope fueled by
the lucrative abortion industry that preys on vulnerable pregnant women and
preborn babies.
Certainly
there will be contagion with this unfortunate, devastating legislation, as this
policy and practice catches on and is adopted by other states and countries. Who
will tell these New York legislators, and their like-minded 'progressive' compadres,
that they have the blood of holy innocents on their hands? We serve an
all-powerful, omnipotent, and forgiving God. Our nation must turn to Him now,
and seek Him while He can be found.
“If my people…
will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
