Precious in His Sight

Thousands of years ago, a psalmist penned these beautiful verses for us to ponder upon, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

Regardless of whether you are a Christian or not, I believe that you have noticed this truth about yourself. You are significantly different from your friends, even your siblings. You look, act, and think differently than they do. Your abilities, talents, and interests are unlike theirs.

That's because God creates each person as a unique human being. Each life belongs to God and is precious to Him. You are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Sadly, I observe that when pregnant women make up their mind to abort their babies, they usually come up with these four common reasons to justify their action.

1. This is not a human being. It's just a tissue or blood clot. Furthurmore, it is their (women's)choice to do whatever they want with their body.

2. The pregnancy will prevent them from having a good future. It is an obstacle for their education and career. That is why they call it a "(pregnancy) crisis" instead of a blessing.

3. They need to go through abortion because they don't have financial abilities to raise a baby.

4. They are not married. The baby born out of wedlock embarrasses them and their families. This is usually a reason women from Asian countries and cultures have for abortion.

Over decades, Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry keep bombarding us with one lie after another. They never tell us that through abortion, women are taking another person's life. Killing an unborn child is wrong regardless of circumstances. Like all of us, the babies have the capacity to feel pain when their skulls are clamped and their bodies are shred to pieces. The heartbeat of a baby starts on the 18th day after conception. Listening to Planned Parenthood's propaganda, women never know that there is an alternative to abortion, which is adoption.

As a country, do you see our hands splattered with blood when you look into these staggering numbers? One million abortions happen in the US. every year. In 1996, 1.37 million babies died from abortion. To me, the graveyard of unborn children is as big as the Pacific Oceans.

We need to embrace and cultivate a culture of life in this country and around the world. Ironically, I have friends who told me that they are against the ongoing wars, and they support a presidential candidate who will withdraw our troops from Iraq. They hate to see innocent lives die in these horrible wars. What I don't understand is that the same people who told me this turned around and voted for a candidate who strongly supports the murder of unborn children through abortion.

Jesus said "you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free." It is time for women to know the truth and stand up against the genocide of innocent lives.
