Silent Solidarity (October 21, 2008)

Today is the day of Silent Solidarity for pro-lifers who wish to "lose their voice for those who may never have one."
Of course, being a mama, I can't be silent, but I can try to be a voice for the unborn in this blog.
**If you are pro-choice, you are not going to like what I have to say. Please, if you disagree with me, keep your comments to yourself. I will not argue with you on the sanctity of life or whether or not murdering the unborn is ok. You will not receive a response from me. **

Psalms 127:3 says, "Behold, children are a gift from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward."
If a child is a gift from the Lord (ALL children), then why do many call it a choice? It is sad that human creation has been watered down to a choice. Let us be reminded that more often than not, when a woman chooses to abort her child, it is for selfish reasons. The cases of rape and incest abortions are minuscule compared to the number of abortions at will.

Let us also be reminded that ALL children are precious in God's eyes. All children deserve a chance at life. We do not control our destiny or our life, God does. Therefore, we women should not have the right to choose to murder the baby that is thriving inside of us.

Someone had once argued with me that if abortions are not legal, then who is going to care for all of those unwanted babies? Or how are we going to stop those women from aborting the babies themselves and possibly killing themselves in the process?

First, our country needs to do something about the adoption process and making it more affordable. There are so many couples who cannot have children who would love to be a father and mother to the unwanted children. It seems so unfair that those who can't have babies must watch in horror as those who can chose to abort.

Second, do we legalize murder just because people are going to do it anyway? Do we legalize drugs, just because people are going to do it anyway? Absolutely not. And we shouldn't legalize abortion either.

Third, we Christians need to actively spread the gospel and give people hope in Christ. We cannot be angry and argue with those who are pro-choice. We must approach them in a loving manner and show them how great our God is. If we cling to God and seek Him first, then we are comforted in knowing that everything is in His control.
