The victims of 'choice'




Don't look at these pictures and tell me this isn't a real person. Don't look at these pictures and tell me that these are just cells or tissue. We say its just a 'fetus' but do we even know what the word 'fetus' means? Fetus isn't something before they become a baby. Fetus is a medical word for a stage of life. The word is used for babies in the womb from the 10 week of pregancy till birth. It is like 'infant' or 'teenager'. An infant is still a child, we just call them an infant because that is the stage of life that they are in, it is the same with a fetus. The only reason people call all unborn babies fetus' is to ease their conscience, to justify their decision. Have you ever noticed how a mother who is pregant and wantsa the child call the child a baby right from the time they know they are pregant. No one stops them, no one corrests them and tells them its a fetus. But suddenly if you dont want your child its not a baby anymore, it suddenly becomes a fetus!!!!!

It scares me to see how deceived the world is. How can we come to a place where this is seen as ok, where this is legal, where it is our 'choice'. How can anyone look at these pictures and say this is right?! As i look at these pictures it scares me to think of all the people that actually beleive this is ok. It reminds me of how much people are really blinded by the ' God is this age' as the Word tells us. It comes on me like a force making me pray, making me cry out for truth to come, for the deceived to be set free and for the truth to expose the lies.

Do we really pray for this, do we really pray for the end of this horriffic injustice? Do we really pray for conviction to come to the doctors that do this, to the woman that have this, to the governments that ok this? Do we pray fro the organisations that are fighting against this, that they will seek God's will and really be guided by him in how to be right and be stratigic and not do it their own way. Do we pray that they will be granted favour from the Lord? Do we pray for the woman that they will here God's voice louder than they hear the world's? What about for the woman that have done this, lots of themdecived, not knowing the full facts, living with guilt and regret? Do we pray frot heir salvation, forgiveness andf healing? Do we pray that God raises these woman up to tell others the truth?

I am reminded and convicted for the selfishness in us, in me. Yes, I pray for this, but do i REALLY pray? Do i pray as if these where my children? We are called to love EVERYONE and yet because we don't know these babies, because we dont see these abortions happen we dont give it everything we have to change it, we dont respond the way it would if iyt is our children. But these are God's children and he calls us to fight for justice to stand up for the poor, the vunerable, the weak. How more vunerable can you get than a baby, unable to speak that doesnt have any kind of choice what so ever!!?? Just because we arent seeing this face to face or because we dont know these babies does not make it ok for us to sit back and not do anything!!
