Big News on Abortion

Dearest hijas and hijo,

^{(The ‘Missing’)}

Perhaps you’ve heard the news. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito, will overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. This is huge news if true. The draft was leaked out while the case is still pending, an unprecedented breach of confidentiality according to many. Who leaked it is yet to be determined.

While you can go to many URL’s for the story, I will include the link below to this one by Paula Bolyard of PJ Media:

Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire has also posted a story. You can find it here;

https://www.dailywire.com/news/shapiro-draft-supreme-court-majority-opinion-leaks-striking-down-roe-v-wade-heres-what-all-of-that-means

Since this is yet a draft opinion only, we’ll have to wait and see what transpires in the next couple months before the opinion becomes finalized. Things have been known to change, sometimes just days before a final ruling comes out.

Do you think God has an opinion on all this? You bet He does (see my post The Children Are Mine). He says in His Word that children are a gift from Him, a blessing to the ones whose quiver is full of them (Psalms 127: 3-5).

Proverbs 6:16 says that there are six things which the LORD hates, yes, seven that are an abomination to Him. The third in that list are “hands that shed innocent blood“. If children in the womb are not the perfect example of ‘innocence‘, I don’t know what is.

When one thinks about the actual procedure in an abortion and what is actually taking place with the cannula and forceps and sucking machines and then laying the pieces out on a table to make sure none are missing, it is hard not to think that this is an evil in God’s eyes of the highest caliber. He says He hates it. It’s an abomination.

Rejoice, for now, that perhaps Roe v. Wade might be overturned. Pray that the Justices who are in the majority with Alito on this might stay strong under the enormous pressure from the God-haters that is sure to come.

All my love,

Dad

The Children Are Mine

Dearest hijas and hijo,

Great news for those of us who take God’s injunctions about children being a gift of the LORD, and a blessing to be cherished, protected, and adored beginning in the womb (Psalm 127:3-5, Psalm 139:13-16).

The Texas Senate has passed the Texas Heartbeat Bill, SB8. It now goes to Governor Abbott’s desk for signing and would take effect September 1, 2021.

“MOREOVER, YOU TOOK YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHOM YOU HAD BORNE TO ME, AND YOU SACRIFICED THEM TO IDOLS TO BE DEVOURED. WERE YOUR HARLOTRIES SO SMALL A MATTER? YOU SLAUGHTERED MY CHILDREN, AND OFFERED THEM UP TO IDOLS BY CAUSING THEM TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE” (Ezekiel 16:20-21).

“FOR THEY HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY AND BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS. THUS THEY HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH THEIR IDOLS AND EVEN CAUSED THEIR SONS, WHOM THEY BORE TO ME, TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE TO THEM AS FOOD” (Ezekiel 23:37).

Today’s abortion culture is the same child sacrifice culture as those who lived in ancient times offering their child up to Molech (Lev.18:21, 20:3). One aspect of Satan’s goal since the beginning has been to destroy the family and by extension to destroy children. This culture of child sacrifice is an abomination to God. He hates it, and the stench in His nostrils from the 100 million or more worldwide since the 1900’s from abortion is putridness in His nose—like the most foulest, rank, disgusting odor you can think of.

They are HIS children.

“HOW BLESSED IS EVERYONE WHO FEARS THE LORD, WHO WALKS IN HIS WAYS. WHEN YOU SHALL EAT OF THE FRUIT OF YOUR HANDS, YOU WILL BE HAPPY AND IT WILL BE WELL WITH YOU. YOUR WIFE SHALL BE LIKE A FRUITFUL VINE, WITHIN YOUR HOUSE, YOUR CHILDREN LIKE OLIVE PLANTS AROUND YOUR TABLE. BEHOLD, FOR THUS SHALL THE MAN BE BLESSED WHO FEARS THE LORD” (Psalm 128:1-4).

All my love,

Dad

Vaccines, Abortion and Fetal Tissue

Dearest hijas and hijo,

In light of the current measles outbreak in this country, a morally distressing note I just came across concerning the use of aborted fetal tissue in the manufacture of many common vaccines. Follow the link below.

Perhaps you’ve known about this. I regret to say that I didn’t. As pro-life, this is something we all need to be aware of and pricked in our individual consciences to think deeply about. What does God think about this? How would God expect us to act and respond?

Still ‘killing them softly’ 40 years later

Dear hijas,

Since today is the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision on January 22, 1973 legalizing abortion in the U.S., I thought it was more than appropriate to take a moment out of our series on Philosophy and Christianity to reflect on the staggering numbers this decision has wrought in our land. When one looks at the number of innocent lives that have been murdered in the name of ‘choice’ since 1973, the stench in God’s nostrils must be overwhelming. It is a wonder why He hasn’t sent judgment down on us in the same way Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed circa 2100-1900 B.C. It is only His grace that has stayed His hand to this point.

It is now estimated that more than 55 million Americans have died since this decision was handed down by the United States Supreme Court. The current estimates are about 1.2 million abortions per year in the U.S. alone. The World Health Organization estimates that between 1995 and 2008 there were on average 43.7 million induced abortions worldwide, a period of 14 years. (http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_IAW.html)

If we do the math, that’s 43.7 million x 14 = 611.8 million unborn innocent children forcefully and destructively taken from the womb in those 14 years worldwide. If you extrapolate that rate out for 40 years the result is mind-numbing: 2.4 billion innocent children never to see the light of day worldwide since 1973. The average rate over 40 years may not have been 43.7 million/year, so the 2.4 billion could be on the high side, but whatever the number is, let’s conservatively say over 1 billion, that’s 1/7 of the current world’s population.

What we need to see here, is that abortion is the destructive natural outflow of what we talked about in our last post; the evolutionary impersonal answer to the moral necessity. If humans are nothing more than complex animals kicked up out of the pond scum with no value or meaning higher than the whale, seal cub, redwood tree, or spotted owl, then intrinsically one cannot claim that the unborn child should be protected. Remember, morals disappear. Evolution is amoral. No right and wrong, just what “is”.

Abortion then becomes a ‘fruit’ of this teaching of an impersonal beginning. If evolution is true, and morals are just situational, a statistical average, then we should not be surprised that societal norms would change to think that killing our unborn is okay. It was a momentous shift in this country in 1973, one that is still reverberating today 40 years later.

Dr. Albert Mohler has a great post on his blog and I encourage you to read it at: (http://www.albertmohler.com/2013/01/18/forty-years-after-roe-human-dignity-hangs-in-the-balance/).

My title for this post is really a misnomer, isn’t it? For in reality, we don’t ‘kill them softly’, but brutally, destructively, quickly, and with finality. The end and goal is the cessation of the unborn child’s life. It is done with forethought and the utmost precision, and we’ve been doing it legally for 40 years. Say a prayer today mis hijas, especially today, for God to bring an end to this wicked and inhumane practice, and for all the women and men who have been affected. This is not a sin that God can’t or won’t forgive, one only needs to seek that forgiveness from Him.

With love, I remain,

Dear ol’ Dad
