This is all of our family as of August of 2019.
As of August of 2019 our family consisted of 47 very loved people ranging in age from 72 years to just a few months. How shocking for me to realize that 43 of us could have been legally killed before being born. Does such a thought bring grief to you like it does to me? Or have we become so accustomed to the word “abortion” that we no longer associate it with the brutal act of dismembering a tiny completely helpless baby?
Recently my mind made a sad connection between what the Nazis (and many other cruel regimes) did to innocent, helpless people and what doctors in the United States of America currently do to sweet little babies. Many people knew what Hiltler was doing to the Jews but never spoke up or tried in any way to stop the slaughter. When I clearly see something very similar happening in our country, my heart aches concerning the plight of the thousands of babies being murdered everyday. How can we ignore this?
So far this year about 2000 people in Washington state have died of Covid and the uproar and disruption of life is astounding. However, if we are on track for the number of baby deaths as in 2018 then so far this year we have killed about 12,600 little ones—more than 6 times the number of Covid deaths. Yet no one seems to care!!! I feel like I’m in a bad dream.
The final word on all of this really is what the One who created all of us has to say.
Gen 1:27 “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Proverbs 6:16-17 “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,..”
May we be faithful to God and speak up for the helpless!
