Bye-Bye Partial Birth Abortion
|
I have such a passion about the whole topic of abortion, that I really don't think that I can begin to start rambling thoughts on the topic -- oh if I had more time this morning! This president may have had his share of mistakes, but his appointing of conservative, God-fearing, life-respecting, supreme court judges is definitely a blessing - and so appropriate for such a time as this. I don't understand a world that values "convenience" over life. Where does a woman's "right to choose" end and a child's right to life begin? How did death - murder, become so protected, and fought for in this country? Praise heaven for those who have worked so diligently to bring about this partial birth abortion ban. Those years spent fighting upstream in a world that is so apathetic to life and to the protection of our youngest - those years were not in vain. Oh if we could ever get that to encompass all abortion. It's more than a victory though. It has eternal value; value well beyond what one can know in this life. Lives saved, lives lived, and ultimately, mothers who are grateful that they weren't able to do such an unfathomable thing to their child. It may only be one piece of the great big puzzle that is abortion, but praise God, that stay has been lifted on the ban. There's still a long road ahead, much more to accomplish toward protecting our smallest citizens, but when it comes to partial birth abortions - thank Jesus - Not Today! |
