A Matter Of Life Or Death: It's Your Choice, America

In what has come to be known as an "abortion sanctuary state" where women
 can travel from other states to have an abortion, and where, under the current
 law, she can have an abortion up to the third trimester, or right before the
 baby is born, members of the New Jersey State legislature were seriously
considering the passage of a bill this week which contained the clause:

“a fetus shall have no independent rights under the laws of this state.” 

Thank God someone had the sense to reconsider and to remove this inhumane provision
which sounds a lot like a decree which might have been implemented in the days of
Nazi Germany.  And yet, what is the difference between the mindset of 21st century
lawmakers declaring that an unborn baby has no rights and therefore can be terminated
in the womb in New Jersey, and members of the Gestapo who would rip little Jewish
babies from their mothers' arms and toss them alive into the ovens at Auschwitz?

In the eyes of the most holy and righteous God there is no difference. 

Murder is the deliberate and willful act of taking human life, and couching the hideous
practice of infanticide in political language as "reproductive healthcare" does not change
the fact that our legislators are as guilty of shedding innocent blood as the abortionists
doing the dirty work for them-at the expense of the already overburdened NJ taxpayers. 

The 6th Commandment attests: "You shall not commit murder." (Exodus 20:13)

God further declares,  "Keep far from a false matter and be very careful not
  to condemn to death the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify 
nor acquit the wicked."  (Exodus 23:7)

Unlike disingenuous legislators masking their true intentions in political words 
and phrases, God does not lie.  He does not change.  I often contemplate, with an 
increasing sense of trepidation, how much longer the good Lord is going to hold
 back His wrath and judgment on America, which He has blessed and been so very
 gracious to in the past, a nation which claims to believe in personal liberty and 
justice for all, and yet condones the murder of babies in the womb.

 Living souls made in the likeness and image of God Himself.

Will the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, give America more time to seek 
His mercy and forgiveness for this most grievous sin? Or will our fast
 approaching 250th birthday as a nation be the last one that we will see?
