The relationship between lies and death is horribly obvious when we discuss abortion with those who support pro-abortion candidates. Most who support such people simply do not look at unborn babies as unborn babies. “It’s just a mass of tissue.”, “It’s not really a baby.”, and “A woman has a right to control her own body.” are all repeated by those who really don’t want to think about the fact that an unborn child is killed in every abortion, and that over 40,000,000 of our youngest and most helpless neighbors have been destroyed.
We need to remember what’s being done to whom. We need to drive the kind of thinking that justifies this destruction from our minds. It helps to consider pictures like this. If we are sensitive, we recoil in horror from what the abortionists’ forceps are doing every day while we go about our business.
Being in favor of abortion indicates a hardening of the heart, a dulling of the imagination, a glorification of insensitivity. When we consider a picture like the one above, and we ask God for guidance, we will be led back along the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation. Those who steadfastly refuse to do so are sunk so far into the Culture of Death that it will take a miracle to soften their hearts.
The Book of Revelations makes it clear that at Judgment, the individual books of our life are opened. We can assume that every one of our thoughts, words, and deeds will be judged. While we are still on earth, we still have time to ask the Judge for mercy. Until the very second that our soul leaves our body, we have the power to ask that Judge for the mercy that He has promised.
It is not intelligent to waste any time endlessly considering this. Both the rewards and the punishments we face are very, very great, and both are affected by the amount of quibbling we do when faced with reality.
