The
Holiness of Life
Around January 22 of every year, I teach a Sanctity of
Life lesson in my Bible Study class. You'll find the link at the bottom.
Christians around the world set this day aside back in
1973 when the Supreme Court decided abortion was legal. Since that decision, 63 million babies have lost their lives. Who knows? Perhaps one or more of these
humans would have discovered the cure for cancer, dementia, or other terrible
diseases.
After forty-nine years of people praying for it to
happen, the present court has overturned the heinous decision made by the
previous 1973 Court. I have no idea why it took God so long to answer the
prayers of Christians. Scripture says a
thousand years is like a day to God. Our Great Creator was putting events and
people into place, and for Him, it wasn’t a long time.
But do not forget this one thing, dear
friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are
like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to
come to repentance.
So, what happens to women who want birth control by aborting an unborn baby?
They can continue to do this.
Abortion issues now return to the states. Each state will adopt legislation regarding
when and if a legal abortion can occur.
Some states currently permit legal abortion up to full term pregnancy—even
to the instant of delivery. Other states allow abortion up to the first
trimester.
If a female wants an abortion, she can have one, but
she might need to travel to another state. If she can’t afford it, that’s no
problem. New York is considering offering to pay travel and expenses for a
woman to travel to their state to abort their baby. https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2021/attorney-general-james-calls-state-funding-provide-abortion-access-women
Some companies are also providing travel expense for
employees to have an abortion. https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/business-lobbying/3535965-these-companies-will-cover-abortion-travel-costs-for-employees/
Since this is the case, women can have abortion on demand within the United States, what is the big deal? No
one took that ability away. The Supreme
Court merely said abortion is not in the US Constitution. The Court sent it
back to the states for the people to decided. The populous can vote in each
state the limits of abortion. Abortion is not in a document, but in the hands people.
