“A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy” came the musings of Ingrid E. Newkirk. And while any thinking human would reject this notion, even this statement is rejected in the treatment of the human child through abortion. For animals are treated better and given more rights today than the life of a small child rejected based on the crimes of her father.
Yes, I am speaking of the unspeakable, the complete and utter rejection of a child based upon incest or rape. There are no words that can ever explain nor punishment that should not be exacted upon the perpetrator of such acts. But this child, a child formed in her mothers womb is known by our creator at the moment of conception and regardless the horrible condition in which she was made, she is incapable of bearing the fault of her father.
Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
A child is known to her creator and must not be destroyed. Have we become so calloused that we have rejected the pinnacle of God’s creation and spat upon the young while forming?
Isaiah 13:18 says “Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.”
Yes we have become such a generation. One born out of arrogance and pride. One that cares so little for life that we would punish a child for the sins of his father. One that would say that the life of a child is deserving of death because his father was a violent criminal. I call upon all that is pure and righteous, I call upon your conscience and your heart. Protect the most innocent, protect the unborn.”
