  5. WHAT ABOUT THE CHOICE OF ABORTION?

  6. Many women testify that it is much easier to scrape a baby from a mother’s uterus than to scrape him from her mind.

  7. He does not treat us as our sins deserve, or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear Him     Psalms 103 • He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy  Proverbs 28 • Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed James 5:16 • If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness    1John 1:9

  8. MORE KILLED IN ABORTION THAN IN ALL WARS IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY

  9. WHY SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE? • We must stand up for God’s principles, especially the sanctity of life. • We must speak against the destruction of the image of God, the temple of the Holy Spirit occurring with the destruction of innocent human life. • We must be watchman, our brother’s keepers—not just for the unborn but for the other victims of abortion that need healing—especially mothers of aborted children. • We must expose deception.  Most prochoice advocates don’t know what they’re supporting. • We must restore the US Constitution as the basis for governing our nation. • There are consequences of abortion; our nation is being judged.

  10. Psalms 139:13,14 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works... • Psalms 127:3-5 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them…

  11. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations. • Isaiah 49:15,16 Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands… • John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

  12. Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. • Proverbs 24:11,12 Deliver those being taken to death, and those stumbling to be killed, unless you hold back. If you say, Behold, we did not know; does not He who searches the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He know? And He repays to a man according to his works.

  13. WHY PROCHOICE PROPAGANDA ACCEPTED UNCRITICALLY • Clever use of language • Avoid images of the unborn, especially those aborted • Lie about abortion prior to Roe v Wade, risk of pregnancy • Use of emotional appeal of hard cases (<3% for rape, incest, life of mother)

  14. LANGUAGE IS POWERFUL • Lovely sounding clichés disguise the reality of abortion—prochoice, reproductive liberty, right to privacy, my body-my choice, Every child a wanted child • Vilify the opposition—call Prolifers anti-choice, anti-abortion • Dehumanize the unborn—called product of conception, blob of tissue, fertilized egg, blood clot, venereal disease, fetal material embryo, fetus, but never the “B” word • Change the meaning of “person” • Describe abortion as “scraping the lining of the uterus” or “terminating the pregnancy.”

  15. UNQUESTIONABLY, HUMAN LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION

  16. Personhood is properly defined by membership in the human species, not by stage of development within that species.

  17. ATTEMPTS TO DEFINE PERSONHOOD IN OTHER WAYS • age, stage of development, viability, size • degree of skill, intelligence, education • self-awareness, ability to relate to others • ability to meaningfully contribute to society, to have a meaningful life

  18. “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator by certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776

  19. You cannot reject the sanctity of human life and simultaneously affirm the values of freedom and human rights that distinguish the United States of America.

  20. it’s a baby. It’s not a choice: it’s a child. This isn’t a political issue:

  21. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD SAY ABORTION PLACES OUR NATION IN GREAT PERIL • “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?” Thomas Jefferson • “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.”       George Washington’s inaugural address 1789

  22. FIGHT AGAINST ALL ODDS AS WE SERVE OUR MIGHTY GOD • “In the beginning of the Contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for Divine protection—Our prayers, Sir, were heard and they were graciously answered.  All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor.”    Benjamin Franklin, Constitutional Convention 1787

  23. PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT

  24. Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (ratified 1868) • Section 1.All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

  25. Personhood is Pivotal • In the Roe v. Wade decision, Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun wrote that, “(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the pre-born}] is established, the [abortion rights] case, of the course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment.” • Thus, the personhood of the pre-born child is the single point of which the entire debate turns.

  26. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.  Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”        Proverbs 31:8-9

  27. Stand Up For Mothers and Motherhood
