Originally this blog was posted in October 2017. I have edited this over the years and specifically edited it in 2025. Every dear child, if I could tell you one thing, I would say I am sorry. I am sorry that our nation has turned its back on you and that others have been told lies about you. I am very deeply sorry that our society has legalized the atrocity Roe v Wade over 40 years ago. I am so sorry that our nation believed they could redefine who God has already defined with value and love, you. The love of the Father for every life is beyond our comprehension and in our nation because society has redefined again what God already defined, we cannot understand His love. As redefinition of terms and understandings change our morals, our world ends up being one of a lack of love and care.
This new “healthcare” views the preborn as disposable and a “burden” to be taken not only from the mother but from the world. This country has denied the most vulnerable their right to life, our preborn. I am sorry that our nation has seen you as a burden. I am sorry that our nation has considered your intentional murder “just another issue.” I am sorry that in our nation some say they want to fight for you, but they have tapped the ballot for those who do not fight for your life. Our nation has not only taken this precious life…yet they have also taken their friend, sister, daughter, aunt, uncle and so on.
Society has chosen to make the innate value of the preborn child up for question. Society has taken a mother’s blessing from her. Many people who want to adopt are never parents because the child they could have adopted was aborted. This child’s life who was aborted – though society says it has no effect on anyone – has caused harm for over 60 million little children. I cannot help to describe this as I know it is not about my words but the working of the Spirit through these words to open a heart up to see that every soul has value and intrinsic worth and dignity as God is the Maker and Creator of every person.
Our nation and world cannot get how wrong their view is to see every child that was and will be aborted as not valued and as “discarded goods.” This nation does not know what they have missed. We have missed learning what love means for and from our youngest to our oldest to all in between. Every child aborted was seen as an “issue too great to solve through help” therefore the so called “solution” was through the taking of life. A nation that believes the taking of a child’s life will solve an “economic state” has fallen. We trade problems to blame shifting. We take economic and “timing and unexpected” realistic issues and put it on the very ones we should be trying our hardest to support more. With a new member of a family we work harder to care for them but abortion sees a child as a “disqualified” family member and as the burden to all issues…we cannot and won’t solve our financial and healthcare issues and societal concerns if we believe that we “solve” them through the taking of life.
Love is deeper than fear… concern is right but no way can we choose one life over another. I heard a pastor once share a story with me. He said that a couple came into his office asking his advice. They asked his thoughts on their intention to abort. They had another child and often times there is a justification that so many use to choose to harm to justify aborting their own baby by saying, “we can’t care for another child” and how they have to care for the 2 children now that she is pregnant “and that is too much.” This pastor who is pro-life wanted to make this couple think about what they were pondering so he stated if you are concerned about preparing for the baby, why not take the life of your 2-year-old then you will have time to prepare for this baby. The parents said, “No that is murder, we would never do that.” The pastor responded then why isn’t it murder to end the child’s life that is inside of you.
God used the pastor’s example to open the couple’s eyes of their heart to not see their preborn child as disposable just because of their location and to not believe the view that ending their child’s life is “acceptable”, but they instead cherished their baby’s life and did not abort. The taking of a life that’s in the womb will not care for one’s other children outside the womb as much as taking a child’s life outside the womb will not help parents care for the children inside the womb.
Dear families, do not believe the lie of abortion as it is a snare and trap to rob you from the greatest joy ever. Pregnancy is often seen as the stage before parenthood but truly pregnancy is the beginning of parenthood. As parents you have the same responsibility for your children inside the womb as outside the womb.
After writing this blog, I wanted to find a picture and quote that could encapsulate this blog. This quote seemed quite fitting, and I had never heard it before so God’s timing.:)
