Days after the NY abortion ruling...

As we sit here in the fallout just days after the egregious NY State abortion ruling, it is hard to fathom how we as a nation have fallen so far from sanity.  The infamous Roe v. Wade ruling has led this spiral out of control and now we have reached the epitome of all that is inhumane - people were celebrating the "right" to kill a baby at the very point of birth.  What should be the safest place in all the world, a mother's womb, has been deemed a war zone for decades - a war zone that has cost millions upon millions of innocent lives.  And now, that war zone has spilled over outside the womb.

Romans 1:24-30 illustrates in vivid detail the path a person and a nation takes when God is all out rejected.  Verse 28 tells us that, as a form of divine judgment, God allows those who continually reject Him and His calls to repent to be given over to a "debased mind."  This is to say that they have become worthless-minded, corrupt, insane.

The New York ruling this week is beyond insanity.

Furthermore, at the end of this depravity and judgment is the praise of those who do such heinous acts.  When the video was made public of the ruling, the room erupted with applause and cheers of joy.  "Long live freedom of choice!" was essentially the cry - "We have won!"  Little do the proponents of such a ruling realize that they aren't free, but are very much enslaved to sin and are now under judgment.  This is a type of freedom that should be bitterly wept over, not celebrated.

I want to conclude this post by sharing a great post from a friend.  This should get us to think, especially those who may still consider abortion to be an 'ok' option in certain circumstances:

Would you consider abortion in any of the following four situations?

1. There's a preacher and his wife who are very, very, poor. They already have 14 children. Now she learns that she's pregnant with the 15th. They are living in poverty. Due to their poverty, would you recommend she get an abortion?

2. The father is sick with syphilis, the mother has TB. They have four children. The first is blind, the second is deaf, the third is deaf and the fourth has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Would you recommend an abortion?

3. A white man raped a 13-year-old black girl and she got pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider abortion?

4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She is not married. Her fiancé is not the father of the baby, and he is very upset. Would you consider abortion?

If you had recommended abortion, what would have been the results?

1. In the first case, you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists of the nineteenth century.

2. In the second case, you'd have killed Beethoven.

3. In the third case, you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer who sang with the Billy Graham crusades.

4. If you said yes to the fourth case, you would have sanctioned the murder of Jesus Christ!

God has a special plan for each person no matter the circumstances of how they were conceived. He has a way of turning something that seems terrible into something beautiful.

May God have mercy on our country.

May His judgment be swift but may it also come quickly.
