“Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Proverbs 24:11

Roe (plaintiff) vs. Wade (her state’s attorney general) 1973

-This Supreme Court case ruled that unborn babies are not persons who are protected by the right to life under the constitution.  It also determined that a woman has a right to the privacy of making decisions pertaining to her body.  Therefore, the issue that now needs to be resolved is when a baby (embryo, fetus) has personhood.  If the case can be made that an embryo has personhood, they too should be protected under the constitution’s right to life, making abortion illegal.

Where the court went wrong: Biologically, an embryo has the genetic make-up which makes something a person.  Consciousness, reasoning, and communication are not the qualifications for personhood, otherwise the mentally handicap, clinically insane, or those in a coma should not be considered persons.  But that would be absurd.  Therefore, an embryo/fetus is a person and their right to life is more basic of a right than a woman’s right to privacy.

What the Bible has to say on abortion: Exodus 21:22; Psalm 139:13-16; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 1:20.  Life begins at conception.

What you can/need to do: Pray for our country, vote with this in mind (Matt. 23:24), educate yourself, speak out against this injustice, offer hope and love to those considering this procedure: http://optionline.org
