For years I have been listening to politicians, clergy, and well meaning pro-lifers try to answer one question. Defending their position of pro-choice, the question continues to be asked by abortionists. Can you determine when the soul joins the body of a new baby? Or, in short, when does life begin? I find it not only amazing, but sad, that the leading clergymen try to answer the question. We are told in Genesis, and throughout the Bible, that the life is in the blood. We are also told not to shed innocent blood. The shedding of that blood is as surely the taking of a life as it would be in any other circumstance. Did you know the fetus has his/her own blood? Before three weeks old, he/she has a beating heart. At no time is the blood the blood of the mother. Except for the blood of Jesus, is there any "more innocent" than that of the bodies being newly formed in the womb? They are being formed by the hand of God. How can anyone hold that the tiny body can be alive, but safe to slay because he/she "may not" have received the soul?
The Bible does not state when the soul and body are united. The burden of guilt has fallen on anyone responsible for terminating the life of the unborn. I pray you do not risk the wrath of God on such an unprovable matter, and teach people to do so. For those of us who still tremble at the Word of God, the thought that He said to Cain, "the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground" (Gen. 4:10) brings with it an awesome burden. Those voiceless millions in the USA whose innocent blood is being shed every year. My question to you is, "What are you going to do about it?"
Must God visit His judgement upon us as a nation before we will realize how grievous abortion is in His sight? Or will we believe what He says? The blood of countless millions cries to God, and it is on our hands. If someone asks you to prove when life begins, tell them they are asking the wrong question.
