Introduction: Sanctity of Life Sunday
January 18th 2009 21:08
I want, in honor of the Sanctity of Life Sunday, to share with you a terrific sermon that touches the heart and warms the soul but in the same way disgusts those with a working moral compass.
First let me just name the stats according to current surveys (all polls were collected in the U.S.):
-90% of couples that are aware that their child might have medical issues (regardless of degree) abort their babies.
-More than 1.3 million babies die a brutal death in the womb every year in America.
-25%of all pregnancies end in abortion.
As for a recent opinion poll:
-33% favor restricting abortion to the first and second trimesters.
-11% favor a total and complete ban of abortion regardless of reasons.
- 9% are in favor of unlimited access of abortion even up until/during birth.
*I do want to say that I fully intend on furthering this study in Early Feb. for those interested in learning the reasons it is morally wrong and addressing questions of why life is sacred.
Now, to continue into the Sanctity of Life Sunday study. I have posed popular statements then some questions - you answer them in all honesty to yourself. Surely you can all be honest with yourselves.
1. “I would support abortion if the child was doomed to poverty”: Have you ever been poor? Did you ever fall short on money ever in your life? Could you use a raise at work? Would you turn down money if offered to you? Are you so wealthy that you will never ever need to get a bonus or pay increase?—Then should everyone who answered “yes” commit suicide or beg to be violently murdered?
2. “I would support abortion if the baby was going to have a health problem”: Have you ever had asthma? Cancer? Broken bone? Heart attack? Stroke? Seizures? Any medical problem whatsoever? -- Then should everyone who answered “yes” commit suicide or beg to be violently murdered?
4. Have you ever known a mentally handicapped person like for instance downs syndrome? They are very love oriented, sure they don’t understand much but they do know how to give love unconditionally and cherish every moment they are given love. ---Should they all be led out to a firing squad or the gallows?
Every human life is going to experience some form of hardship. We will all have health problems throughout our lives, we will experience accidents that might lead to paralysis or other complications, most of us are not born into wealth and might have financial tribulations, but through it all we believe in our lives to mean something… to someone. And, it does. We are all made by our creator and we all have a purpose in life to touch another person’s life. Who is any person to order the execution of another human being simply because we think ourselves to be higher that God who made that living being? No person is useless because of circumstance.
