Good for West Virginia! The State Legislature just passed a law that prevents abortion with some conditions. Of course, we see all the demonstrations by mostly young women screaming about women’s rights. The lady who is the executive director of the last Murder Clinic in Charleston, WV, put it all in perspective. 50% of their income comes from abortions. Abortion is a big money maker. It is all about money and not about access for women to health care, anymore than capital punishment is about the health care of the convicted murderer.

It is not women’s health that is in peril, but the deliberate taking of a human life that is the issue. The health of the baby is what is in peril. To call it anything else is a lie of Satan. If you stop the life of anything, you are killing it. Dog, cat, snake, rabbit, etc. (I am not worried about snakes a lot.) There are a multitude of places where women can get health care.

The real issue in America about abortion is the lack of moral values. Promiscuous behavior that leads to pregnancy outside of marriage is wrong. God says it is wrong and society used to say it was wrong. Young ladies who became pregnant outside of marriage used to be put away, even hidden, until the baby was delivered. While that was not exactly the caring attitude to have, that is the way it was because society at that time understood that pregnancy outside of marriage was wrong. There was a sense of shame with it. Yes, I know young ladies (or older) can get pregnant for a variety of reasons. Abortion for anyone, even married people, is still wrong. God has not changed and people like to say that society changes and attitudes are different now. Yes, society changes and not for the better. What once was wrong has now become right, and vice versa. Satan is very busy and very successful at corrupting lives.

But, young men also are equally at fault. A pregnancy does not occur without the participation of both parties. Young men need to step up and take responsibility for what they helped create and be a man. Killing your offspring is not the answer.

Jesus Christ has the answer to our problems. Turn to him today and have a life-changing experience that really matters.
