In this devotion about the Hebrew midwives lying about women being “much more vigorous in childbirth,” the midwives were truly honoring Christ by saving the young boys at birth from murder! This makes a direct correlation to pro life OBGYNs. There are many doctors who profess to be pro life, but we must realize what a true pro life OBGYN is, ones such as Dr. Donna Harrison, Dr. Kathi Aultman, Dr. Kathleen Raviele, Dr. Marguerite Duane, Dr. Monique Ruberu, Dr. Bill Lile and many more who are true pro life OBGYNs encourage women in pro life counsel to choose life if they have someone in their office contemplating, or determined to have an abortion and someone who does not refer, in anyway, or suggest abortion and see all lives having intrinsic value. These midwives are a picture of what true pro life doctors are. They took risks on behalf of the two patients, as one of their patients as the mother (unless the mom has multiple babies then there are 3 patients or 6 etc) along with the baby or babies. The midwives realized, not directly maybe, that legality of murder does not make it moral (Abby Johnson says something like this) such as on the contrary where people believe abortion is moral because it is legal (which feeds into the lies that are told to these women in crisis by society). Corrie Ten Boom “lied” during the Holocaust saying Jews weren’t in her home when they were. She lied so Jewish people would not be taken to concentration camps. She fought for the voiceless! Medicine has a responsibility to fight for the voiceless even if it costs them because what we will suffer is NOTHING in compared to what these women suffer from an abortion and what the babies’ suffer. Both of these evils were legal, and some fought to stand up against the evil. Martin Luther King fought to stand up for African American lives! The most unsafe place for an African American is in their mother’s womb because abortion facilities are evil and specifically, Planned Parenthood has a foundation of eugenics and to this day eugenically places abortion facilities where African American people are to eradicate them. We must be diligent to show society and MDs and nurses and PAs etc the value of all life. MDs must be willing to break the law in order to save lives such as not suggesting abortion to young girls in OBGYN offices in IL. https://www.lifesitenews.com/…/illinois-bill-forcing-pro-li… A true pro life OBGYN would never refer for abortion. This is not up for debate or contemplation. Doctors must resuscitate babies who are born early due to a failed abortion. Also, why would we ever consider the child who does not die from an abortion a “fail”? This is a rhetorical question as I know why the industry claims it fails because the industry’s goal is to take life. The abortion industry does not see our intrinsic value for
We are all valuable and our lives, whether “unwanted” or “unplanned” or conceived through rape or diagnosed in utero are no less of value than any other lives. We all have intrinsic value because God made us in HIs Image. Throughout Biblical and other history, there have been evil done to people and such as the Jews and slaves and now women “in crisis pregnancy” being told lies and ending up having abortions. We must think of Esther and Martin Luther King Jr. and these rare pro life OBGYNs I mentioned, and many others represent them, who God raises up to show that it is evil to take life preemptively through murder and that our laws must reflect life and love not death and our laws must be used to bring life as abortion doesn’t “empower women.” Women in crisis should be shown support for her and her child and it grieves my spirit that this society has legalized such a harmful act towards children and women. I pray our nation understands that as Lila Rose says, “Women walked in classrooms powerful, women walked into the voting both powerful, women walk into abortion clinics powerless.” Something that struck me is that these Hebrew midwives as God mentions feared God. They did not fear man. Their goal was to honor God and they valued life. Roe Vs. Wade and ACOG are a personal attack on OBGYNs and these pro life OBGYNs must be encouraged as they stand for ALL life and God has and will bless them for their hearts for life. Exodus 1:15-16 says, “The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, observe at the delivery: If it is a son, kill him, but if it is a daughter, she may live.”(Exd. 1:15-16) An intriguing fact is that both women’s names mean beautiful. I realize that in Biblical history people’s names spoke to who they were and in my mind, not saying this is Biblical, their names show who they were being beautiful women to stand up for the intrinsic value of the baby boys to not be harmed through eugenic genocide. Howell and Paris said, “The Hebrews were living as an ethnic minority population within the Egyptian kingdom, laboring as slaved under cruel overlord. Things could hardly have gotten worse, but they did. The Egyptian Pharaoh commanded Shephrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives, to kill all newborn Hebrews boys.” (Howell and Paris, 2011, 224) This history reminds me of the civil war and slaves being dehumanized and then slavery leading to the enslavement of children in the womb who are African American which MLK’s niece Alveda King says that the most dangerous place for an African American is the womb. We see the progression of slavery to then preemptively taking of children’s lives in the Biblical history and played out in civil war to 2019. Doctors must stop giving an option to kill a baby or referring for the killing of a baby or killing the baby themselves as women and children deserve better because women and children are precious to Christ and babies should never be killed and “abortion is the greatest exploitation of women.” ( I forgot who said this powerful quote.)
