“In God We Trust” and Murder our Babies?

I am a democrat by birth. All my people were democrats, so far as I know. The old Democratic Party was the best party, so far as I am concerned. So, as I write this material, I do not want anyone to think that I am a dyed-in-the-wool Republican.

The Democratic Party has let a small minority of this country rule it. These extremists have steered the party into far-out liberalism and have pushed many of us in directions we have not wanted to go. Why have many democrats permitted this to take place? It is due to principles that have to do with life and death.

The abortion issue is one of the leading causes of why many democrats cannot stay with the party. Sure, there are a few others, but this issue is one of the leading reasons why we cannot stay with the party and vote the democratic ticket in the presidential election. The majority of the democrats did not leave the party, but the party has left us. It is heart-rending that such has taken place. When will they return to those good, basic fundamentals they used to stand for? Will they ever? I truly hope so!

I want to deal with the abortion issue and show you why I cannot vote for a presidential candidate that is pro-choice: that women can abort their unborn babies as they wish. The authorization to murder the unborn by abortion is not a political issue. It is a moral issue and people must deal with it.

Those who believe in abortion by choice cannot believe the Bible. They may say they do but in reality they do not. The Bible teaches that a new life takes place at conception; not sometime between conception and birth or, perhaps, at birth. I shall proceed to prove my point by the Bible.

The angel told Mary that Elisabeth, her cousin, “hath conceived a son in her old age” (Luke 1:36). Notice, please that at conception he was a son; not that at some time in the future he would become a son, but she “hath conceived a son.”

Job 3:3 declares and sets forth that in the mind of God from conception until the child is born that which is conceived is a human being. It does not become a human being somewhere along the line after conception. God says it is a “man child” from conception.

In Hosea 9:11, God said that the children of Ephraim would die at birth, or that they would die by abortion, or that they would die at conception. Notice, please, that they were just as much children at conception as they were at birth! Now, who will you believe? Will you believe the Bible or these pro-choice advocates that tell us that at some time after conception the fertilized egg develops into a human being?

In Numbers 5:28 the Bible says that a woman shall conceive seed. This means that a human being starts at conception. When we have seed corn, is it corn when planted or does it have to grow to a point at which time it becomes corn?

In Psalms 51:5, David said he was David at conception. he said, “In sin did my mother conceive me.” He did not say that at some time during pregnancy he became David and his mother carried him in sin. At the time David was conceived his mother was a sinner.

There are other places in the Bible which bear out that at conception we have a human being. Sure, it must grow; but size and age has nothing to do with the fertilized egg being a human being.

Now that we have proven from the Bible that a new human being starts at conception, think of all the human beings that have been murdered by abortion. Some women argue that they have a right to do as they wish with their own body. But this is not the question. The question is: Do they have a right to murder and take the life of their unborn babies? They have no more right to destroy the unborn than they do their children which have already been born.

In talking with people about abortion and voting, I have heard different ones say that how we vote will have nothing to do with abortion. They tell me that abortion will take place anyway. But, is this the right kind of reasoning? Would you, as a Bible-believer, vote to make prostitution legal since it is going to take place anyway? Would you vote for a candidate that was for legalizing drug abuse since it is going to take place anyway? Would you vote for a candidate that is for legalizing murder since murder is going to take place anyway? Would you vote for a candidate that is for legalizing lying since people are going to lie anyway? Would you vote for a candidate that is for legalizing child abuse since it is going to take place anyway? Do you call yourself a Bible-believer and reject this kind of reasoning?

How can a Christian vote for a presidential candidate or any other person running for public office that is willing to make murder legal? So, as we prepare for the upcoming elections, we should keep this foremost in our thinking. God will hold us accountable if we do not. Remember, we are talking about life and death when it comes to abortion, and we are talking about human beings being murdered before birth. The unborn cannot vote and make a choice but we can. God help us to do right!
