Abortion: God Pleased With America?

Read Leviticus 18:21; 2 Kings 17:17; Jeremiah 32:35-36

We are finishing our look at abortion by looking at examples from scripture of those who took the life of children and justified their actions. We live in a society where overwhelmingly people oppose abortion especially late term or partial birth abortion. Yet because of “civil liberty” and the right to do with your body what you want to (pro-choice) are government has justified abortion. In each of these passages the nation of Israel was doing something similar in that they were worshipping a god they called Molech. As a part of that worship they would sacrifice children by throwing them into a pit of fire. They felt they were doing no wrong by their action. However in Jeremiah the prophet called this practice an abomination and sin. Just because one feels it’s ok to do something does not make it right. Again I remind you that nearly 4000 babies are aborted everyday in America and its justified by one word, “pro-choice”. Do we honestly think that God is pleased with our nation for allowing such practices to continue?

Father we ask that you would do what’s necessary to bring about right thinking in the hearts and minds of your people. Give us discernment in our view of abortion.
