Simply stated, you cannot still be a Christian and support Roe v Wade.
Why? Because when a child is conceived it is a human life. It has an individual mind soul and spirit. Just because you cannot yet see the fingers, toes or eyes of this individual creation, does not make it any less of a human being. It is a human life forming in stages.
To take away life is murder. Thou shall not kill is one of the Ten Commandments. These are rules that God had set down for all his people to follow and live by. Not just a few choice people who want to bend the rules and sway them with the current tides of convenience. The Ten Commandments cannot be bent and twisted to flow with the most popular belief systems or fads in a culture.
Abortion at any level is a smack on the rights of the unborn being, who has a right to life.
Will we as a society then take the rights of the disabled person whose body or mind is not formed correctly, and may not been seen or viewed by others as a true human being, then be judged and ruled, deformed, and therefore cannot be tolerated and live within our society? This type of dangerous thinking and attitudes and mind sets in our society that prevail today is one of holocaust. Ones views, on what a human life looks like, and should look like, to determine its worth and value and whether it should live or not, is both arrogant and god like. Only one God can create life and take it away.
This destiny since the dawn of time has been determined by our creator on the conception development and growth of a human being. There is a soul rightly given by God himself to this human being that is forming in the womb. They have a right to live. They are an individual creation, with a soul and specific purpose to fulfill Our Lords plan for the world. How many lives lost and tossed out, how many purposes not fulfilled, how many souls not given a chance to speak for themselves. They each have something to offer, and were made in God's will to live and to serve.
The creator for those who do not know His name is God. His Son's Name is Jesus Christ. There is a pattern and guide in the Divine Book of Life called the Bible, which guides human beings created in God's own image and likeness. This book directs us on how we are to interpret and live our lives here on earth.
Regardless of a human beings stage of development, they are valued and are precious to Our Creator. The gift of Life is the most precious gift. And if we do not value that, and toss life out in a garbage bag , or take a human fetus partially formed and try to kill it, many times with the full features already present, then we truly have developed into a Godless society, no better than Hitler. Who are we to say who has a right to be born or not.
If this arrogance continues, when the day comes when we have to stand before our God on judgment day, and account for these innocent lives lost; what do you think God will say?
I pose this last question to you. When you stand before Our God on Judgment day, what will you say when God asks you, what did you do for the human rights of His Unborn Children?
If you are Christian which means "Christ Follower" there is no way you can straddle the line on abortion. You must ask yourself what would God Do? What would Christ say?
Look into your hearts and the answer will be there, pure and simple, and innocent, as the little life that grows inside a womb waiting for its birth and the chance and the right to live, as God's child.
