Usually I don't spend so much time on one subject as I have lately. But there is so much in the news lately about abortion that I have just had to share. This is the latest agonizing abortion story: At 23 weeks along in her pregnancy, a woman went in for an abortion at a clinic in Florida. The Doctor was terribly late and while waiting to have the abortion done, the girl went into labor and actually gave birth to a live baby. Quickly, one of the clinic's owners came over to the child, cut the umbilical cord, opened a plastic biohazard bag and placed the live baby in there. She then went around to the back and threw the live baby in the dumpster! A few days later, police found the decomposing body of the little girl.
There are so many things I could say about this: For starters, the story that I have linked to says that "people on both sides of the abortion debate were shocked." Really? My question to a pro-abortionist is why? If the baby had been killed in the womb, then no harm, no foul; but since the baby was killed outside of the womb, that is unacceptable?
Secondly, we're also told in the story that the mother, once she saw the child out of the womb, was changed. Once she realized that IT was a BABY, she wanted the child. (This speaks to the importance of supporting Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Most of the time they have very high quality ultrasound machines that clearly show the mother that what is in her womb is truly a baby)
Thirdly, I'd be willing to bet that the woman who killed this baby had never thought of killing another human being in her life. But as a culture we have so devalued young human life that somehow she didn't hesitate in killing a living baby girl outside of the womb; IT wasn't really life.
Finally, for those who are pro-abortion that might read this blog, I ask you sincerely why you wouldn't defend this action? The only difference between the aborted fetus in the womb and the murdered infant was the eight inch birth canal.
Oh how I pray that God would end this devastation.

Truly. And we tread lightly by even calling the fetus "aborted". 1 John 3:15a: "Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer...." Surely, whether the living baby was in or out of the fetus, to take his God-given life is murder.
What can be said to the mother who murdered her unborn (or born!) baby, who grieves in sorrow and guilt over the loss?
How disturbing is it that, as of the publication date of that article, no criminal charges had been filed? The baby was born. It was then thrown in the garbage. Isn't that still a crime in America?
Just remember, people are inherently good right? They really, really want to do the right thing. Right?
Erick, this devastation will end when Christ returns.
