1 picture, way more than 1000 words


I saw this story today on Baptist press. It's about a memorial for victims of abortion. The picture is what really grabbed me. So many in our culture today think of babies while still in the womb about the same way that they think about pennies. Many see pennies as worthless and just toss them away. Long ago many saw babies as worthless and wanted to be able toss them away in the same manner. In 1973 they were told they had the right to do this and this picture is a representation of the results of that decision by the Supreme Court. In 33+ years almost 5 million choices have been made to toss away what was seen as a worthless life. The picture shows a penny for each life that has been aborted. It adds up to almost $500,000. I guess pennies aren't so worthless after all and each life is worth far more than this. Life is a priceless comodity. Psa 139:13 tells us "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." We were formed by an act of God so each human life has infinite worth. We should not so blithely toss it away

For prolife folks all I have to say is, if you aren't going to allow a single pregnant lady into your home to support her and her children and you don't actually do anything to promote birth control to every
uniformed woman out there, then you have absolutelly no say in the matter.
