It's a question of "choice"

Choice. Now there's a word.

Choice has been used as a sword to slaughter infants in the womb throughout history. Please don't be naive enough to think abortion is a new concept. A little study shows even the ancient cultures knew there were choices in the event of an unplanned pregnancy.


Drinking brake fluid is a choice, but it's not recommended. Jumping of the Grand Canyon bridge is a choice but neither is that recommended. Holding up a lightening rod in a thunderstorm is a choice but that has nasty consequences too.

The point?
The point is, there are many choices in life, not all of those choices are either good or advantageous.

The "Pro Choice" (the biggest misnomer in history, since killing is not exactly a choice, it's putting an end to life, which in reasonable minds means murder) movement would have you believe that the choice to end a life is a good thing. Choosing to go slaughter your neighbor and rob them of all their possessions IS NOT a good thing. Choosing to kill an unborn child is NOT a good choice to make. It offends the God who brought the life into being and it diminishes all those who are involved and makes them less human.

Contrary to the noxious acid that falls from the lips of the "Pro Death" crowd, self control and abstinence are choices. They are the best choices.

So, you say, what about those women who become pregnant? Again I say "Hello"? Whatever happened to the idea that mature adult people and those who have aspirations to being mature adult people take responsibility for their actions?

Friends, mature adult people and those who have aspirations to be mature adult people, make the right choices. Mature adult people don't make decisions of life and death based on what is convenient.

Mature adult people know unequivocally that there is a good and a bad, a right and a wrong, a holy and an evil. Mature adult people, while not perfect, still making mistakes, errors in judgment and occasionally doing wrong, attempt, with thoughtful reasoning in their daily lives, to make the right choice.
