Roe vs. Wade
January 31, 2012 in Pastor Kipp's Blog by Kipp Crigger
In 1973 the Supreme Court legalized abortion giving the right to women to be able to murder a child in their womb for any reason that they see fit. Inconvenience is now considered to me a legitimate reason for aborting a child. Since 1973 more than 53 million babies have been aborted in the United States, a whole generation has been lost during this time. Today there are currently 3,000 babies aborted each day. Margaret Sanger was the leading figure that brought about the modern birth control movement and established Planned Parent Hood. She was a racist and targeted black communities in the US for her abortion clinics. A similar genocide took place in Nazi Germany in the early 40s, the target were the Jewish people. Adolf Hitler declared the Jewish person as non human, similar to how we describe the baby in the womb, not yet a person. Here is a very well done video that describes the similarities between Nazi Germany and modern abortion. This video is 33 minutes long and well worth the time it takes to watch.
Many times I wonder what I can really do to change things that are so big. I am just one person, what can I do? The first thing I can do is to appeal to the righteous judge who is seated on the throne by praying for our country, leaders, and women who may be considering an abortion. In our country we also have a say in the policies that are put into place and also a say in who is going to be drawing up these policies and putting them in place. Another thing we can do is vote. As a christian I believe that it is wrong to vote or support for any candidate who supports abortion. Given the sheer magnitude of the issue abortion is one thing that should disqualify a candidate. There are many issues that qualify a candidate but there are also some issues that should disqualify a candidate no matter what else he supports, abortion is one of them. One other thing that we can do is sign the Life at Conception Act. You can find more information of this proposal here and also if you Senator or Congressman co sponsors this Act.
