Abortion is in the news:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

July 21, 2019<\/blockquote>\r\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Trump administration is giving taxpayer-funded family planning clinics more time to comply with its new rule that says they no longer can refer women for abortions. …<\/blockquote>\r\n
\r\n

By law, federal family planning money cannot be used to pay for abortions. But until now women who want to end their pregnancies could be referred by clinics to an abortion provider. Planned Parenthood, whose affiliates operate 400 clinics, provides both family planning and abortion services. …<\/p>\r\n

The rule barring abortion referrals is part of a series of administration efforts to remake government policy on reproductive health to please conservatives who are a key part of President Donald Trump\u2019s political base. Religious conservatives see the family planning program as providing an indirect subsidy to Planned Parenthood, and they have long sought to deny the organization any federal money. https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/seattle-news\/health\/administration-pauses-enforcement-of-abortion-restriction\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course, abortion should not be done.<\/p>\r\n

Abortion is the killing of innocent human beings.<\/p>\r\n

While abortionists try to pretend that is not the case, it most certainly is.<\/p>\r\n

Consider also the following:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

95% of biologists: Life begins at conception<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

\u201cDespite how much politicians try to use euphemisms to deny it, every human life begins at conception, and thousands of biologists now confirm this truth,\u201d said Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel. \u201cIt should go without saying that every unborn and born baby has value, no matter the stage or circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

He cited a relatively recent scientific assessment that revealed that 95 percent (5212 out of 5502) of biologists who participated affirmed the biological view that a human\u2019s life begins at fertilization.<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s a key issue in abortion, since many of those who support abortion claim they are unaware of when life begins, or they claim that it begins at birth, that the unborn child is not really a child.<\/p>\r\n

But even Harry Blackmun,<\/a> who wrote the Supreme Court opinion creating a right to abortion in 1973, admitted there were concerns.<\/p>\r\n

He said that if the personhood of the unborn were to be established, the premise of the ruling would collapse and the unborn baby would have the full protections of the Constitution. …<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cAcademic biologists were recruited to participate in a study on their descriptive view of when life begins. A sample of 5,502 biologists from 1,058 academic institutions assessed statements representing the biological view \u2018a human\u2019s life begins at fertilization.\u2019 This view was used because previous polls and surveys suggest many Americans and medical experts hold this view,\u201d the study authors explain. https:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2019\/07\/95-of-biologists-life-begins-at-conception\/#LJ38X7UvbO73sGaR.99<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

That any percentage of biologists could possibly conclude that life does NOT begin at conception is absurd, because life\u00a0 obviously begins at conception.<\/p>\r\n

Interestingly, scientists have figured out that at conception, a flash of light occurs:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

May 3, 2016 (LiveActionNews) — Abortion advocates often claim as a defense of abortion that no one can really, truly define the moment life begins. Without knowing that, they say, there\u2019s no real argument against abortion. Consider, for example, Melissa Harris-Perry\u2019s insistence that\u00a0life begins \u201cwhenever you feel like it does.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Obama famously said that the question of when life begins was\u00a0above his pay grade<\/a>. While the science of embryology has long been settled, it\u2019s still not good enough for abortion activists.<\/p>\r\n

But a new scientific breakthrough might go a long way towards changing hearts and minds: scientists have been able to capture the moment life begins,\u00a0with a bright flash of light<\/a>\u00a0as a new life is conceived\u2026<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing \u2018fireworks\u2019 on film.<\/p>\r\n

An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception.<\/p>\r\n

Scientists had seen the phenomenon occur in\u2026animals but it is the first time is has been also shown to happen in humans.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

(Scientists say life begins at conception with a flash of light. May 3, 2016. https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/pulse\/scientists-say-life-begins-at-conception-with-a-flash-of-light<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Human life begins at conception.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I remember the lies that the pro-abortionists gave when they were pushing for states to legalize abortion. Basically, the lies were that the human baby was simply a blob of tissue, it wasn’t really human, it would not feel pain when violently killed by abortion doctors, and legalizing abortion was essentially necessary for women’s rights.<\/p>\r\n

But the pro-abortion arguments are essentially lies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Bible shows that God does know how babies grow in the womb:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything (Ecclesiastes 11:5).<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consider that Elizabeth made a positive comment about her unborn baby John the Baptist leaping (Luke 1:41-44) and the statements that the Angel that appeared to Mary to tell her about her upcoming conception (Luke 1:31-35) also provide additional biblical support to the idea that the unborn are human.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pro-abortion advocates try to pretend that abortion should be safe and rare. Well, it is never safe for the baby, and it certainly is not rare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abortionists claim it is bad to stop\/reduce legal abortions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They (and others) need to consider also the following scriptures:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20) 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (Romans 1:18)<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abortion is wrong. Abortion is murder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God are striving to fulfill the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1 \u201cCry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abortion is a sin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As far as crying aloud goes, in addition to making posts on this COGwriter news page against abortion, as well as having a longer article against it (see Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman’s Right to Choose<\/a>), we have made videos denouncing it. Here are links to three of them:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Abortion, the Bible, and US Debt<\/a>. What is an abortion? How are they performed? Does the Bible teach that unborn children are still human? Is abortion wrong? How many are being aborted? Has there been increases in US debt since the “legalization” of abortion? Is debt a biblical curse? This is a video.<\/blockquote>\r\n
Land of \u2018Free\u2019 Abortions and Debt<\/a> The State of Oregon decided to make abortions free for those that want them. Does freedom of choice include the right to shed innocent blood? What has happened to the economy of the USA since abortions became legalized? What has happened to incomes since that time? How many babies have been killed since the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973? Is there a cost to abortion beyond the financial and emotional? What does the Bible teach? What does the Bible prophesy? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other questions. This is a video.<\/blockquote>\r\n
American Infanticide<\/a> February 23, 2019 was declared a \u2018day of mourning\u2019 by some concerned about infanticide and other ramifications of the State of New York\u2019s \u201cReproductive Health Act.\u201d The American College of Pediatricians reported they were grieved by efforts by several states to allow infanticide. Statements from disgraced Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, as well as proposed laws in Illinois, Rhode Island, and Vermont have gotten more to be concerned about infanticide in the United States of America. Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse proposed S. 311 the \u2018Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act failed in a voice vote\u2013and 17 \u201cpublic health organizations\u2019 denounced S. 311 as \u201ca dangerous government intrustion.\u201d Is the destruction of humans wrong. Does human life begin at conception? Is there a light flash at conception? Has there been infanticide throughout human history? What does God say about the shedding of \u201cinnocent blood\u2019? What about Judaism and Molech?<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because we have denounced abortion and other sins, we believe that this is why places like YouTube have discouraged people (via search algorithm changes) from finding our videos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Bible condemns those that shed innocent blood, as that is something that God hates:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD (Deuteronomy 21:9). These six things the LORD hates<\/strong>, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood<\/strong>, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19). Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace (Isaiah 59:7-8). Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place (Jeremiah 22:3). “Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence” (Jeremiah 22:17).<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Babies are innocent. Killing them is the shedding of innocent blood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Life does begin at conception.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
