Doesn't the US have a Bill of Rights and Freedoms? ...
After all, it is the least of us who will be greatest in heaven. And in the context of this thread, those little unborn babies will be greatest because they do not have a voice on earth.
In the United States, a mother is elevated to the status of God while she is pregnant.
It is only during this period that she has the state-sanctioned right to will the destruction of innocent life with the words "I do not want this child".
This is an unspeakable evil.
No, Mr. President: John Piper's Response to President Obama on Abortion - YouTube
James 1:26-27 (ESV) says:
"If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
Pastor John Piper expands on this verse in his sermon "Visiting Orphans in a World of AIDS and Abortion":
"What does abortion have to do with orphans? The connection I see is this: God wants us to be concerned about orphans because they are helpless without mother and father, and we should feel compassion for the helpless who depend utterly on others for life. Picture a three-year-old child riding in his safety seat on the back seat of a car with his mommy and daddy riding in the front. There is a terrible crash and both mommy and daddy are killed. The child has minor injuries, but is okay. The hospital officials check and discover there are no grandparents and no other family members known. This is a heartbreaking situation. And God says to the church, step in there and take care of that child.
So orphans are children whose parents have died and left them at the mercy of others to take care of, lest they die. How does abortion relate to that? Well, abortion puts the child in a worse situation. The parents are not dead, but they have turned on the child and choose to have the child dead. This is worse than being an orphan. To have Mommy and Daddy choose to have you dead is worse than Mommy and Daddy being dead."
