All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Does Anyone Care?

Abortion has become a "back burner" issue. People are concerned about their jobs, the economy, health care, terrorism, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and other issues. I understand that. My wife has been out of a job for over a year. I understand. And we have an administration in Washington that seems to me to be making things worse.

So why should anyone care about abortion? Because it is NOT just another issue. Babies are being murdered. 4,000 a day.

When people tell me (especially Christians) they believe abortion is murder but they don't have the right to tell a woman NOT to have an abortion because they can't understand the plight of the woman seeking an abortion it boggles my mind. If abortion is wrong it's wrong. If it's murder it's wrong. Period.

We don't tolerate girls who abandon their babies in trash dumpsters or public bathrooms or public parks. We get outraged when Susan Smith or Andrea Yates murder their children. But abortion is just one of "those issues." If it doesn't concern me I won't get involved.

Did it ever occur to anyone that the reason there are so many problems in our country is because we have tolerated the killing of unborn children for the past 36 years and God is fed up?

Does anyone care? Yes! God cares. And we better start caring.

In response to my question you have offered Scripture, a web page and a book. Am I to assume that your proposal or solution is to further eductate the masses on the sin and horror of abortion?

Comment by Ken on June 16, 2009 at 8:00pm: Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done? [Proverbs 24:10-12].

I just stumbled on this site: http://onelord.cn/blog/essays/abortionquotes.html

I also recommend the book, A Time to Kill by Rev. Michael Bray for a biblical solution to abortion. Warning. It may offend many.

To presume that no one cares, which "Does Anyone Care" implies, is incorrect. There are millions of people who care. Some protest, some teach, some vote, some prepare homes for unwed mothers to give them an option. The list of help is quite extensive.

You are pointing out with passion the problem. Many around the world know the problem. The question that needs to be answered is how does one solve the problem?

Has your passion on this horrific subject (reality) led you to any solutions, beyond what is already being done, that align with God's Word? If so, please share the solution with us. One must also remember that we are not dealing with people who know and love Jesus, thus the ways of God do not factor into their decision making process.

I look forward to your response.

Lord Bless,
