Monday Meditation: A Matter Of Life And Death

 

 

 

 "For You have formed my inmost being; You knot me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Marvelous are Your works,
and I know this very well.  My frame was not hidden from You when I was made
in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my
unformed body; and all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me
before one of them came to be."
(Psalm 139:13-16)

 Congress has only been back in session for about a week now and already 
 we are seeing a "deal or no deal" situation developing over healthcare reform.

 First, President Trump started the ball rolling when he told members of the 
Republican Party that they must be more "flexible" with the long-standing
 Hyde Amendment, which protects tax payers from funding abortion.  
Then, 17 members of the Republican Party decided to vote with 
the Democrats for an extension of the failed Affordable Care Act,
better known to many as "Obamacare".

I thought President Trump promised to end the disastrous policies of the
Obama Administration regarding healthcare and would implement better
 and more affordable programs for the American people.

  Along with many other people, I believed that President Trump stood for
defending the sanctity of human life, and that he would protect vulnerable unborn
 babies at all costs.  I  thought that at last we have a leader, who, although facing 
a significant uphill battle, would have the courage and the conviction to utilize
his God-given authority to prevent any further taking of human life
  through the heinous act of abortion.  

That like myself,  he took to heart the words, "We hold these truths to be
 self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by
  their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".

Unfortunately, since he was re-elected in 2024, President Trump has told 
 the media that he "would not commit" through executive order or otherwise, 
to rescind the Biden-era policy regarding the distribution of the deadly 
abortion pill, Mifepristone, which can be purchased through the mail
 without a doctor's prescription. This controversial drug has not only killed
 babies developing in the womb, but many of the women who chose to take 
it as a "quick fix" to end their pregnancies. 

Now he has asked Congress to consider flexibility regarding the
long-standing Hyde Amendment, which bars the use of federal funds
to pay for abortion, except to save the life of the mother, or
if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.

Infanticide is not, and should never be regarded, as healthcare! 

 Abortion is the deliberate and willful termination of human life.

"YOU SHALL NOT MURDER" 
(Exodus 20:13)

 Those who have been led to believe that abortion is a "quick fix"
solution to the problem of an unwanted pregnancy, or to obtain one
is their "right" are no better than the parents in ancient Israel who
were told that sacrificing their child to the Canaanite god Moloch
would reward them with a better and more prosperous life, especially
if they did not mourn over their child as he or she was laid in the palms
 of the idol "to pass through the fire" (burn to death,) while their
  screams of agony were covered up by the beating of drums. 
 

Today, if a woman in the state of New Jersey wants an abortion-
and it is LEGAL here right up until the time of birth-she can go to
 the Planned Parenthood clinic nearest her and terminate the life of
  her unborn child-no questions asked.  However, if that same woman
leaves the abortion clinic and walks to a local convenience store and 
 while there decides to rob it and kill the clerk behind the cash register in
 the process, if apprehended by the police, she will be most likely charged
with first degree murder and if convicted, sent to prison.

Both of these actions-getting an abortion and robbing the store and
 killing the clerk- were done of her own free will.  Yet, murdering her
child in the womb, is considered a "choice" protected under the laws of 
 our state, while taking the life of the clerk is considered murder?

 Abortion Wins. America Dies. 

Will our 250th year be our last as a nation?

 

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God 
He created him; male and female He created them."

"You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Moloch, 
for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD."
(Leviticus 18:21 )
