So incase the purpose of this blog is discretely hidden and not apparent- the purpose of this blog is to look at current events on the abortion topic and give new perspective.
So what is abortion- medically speaking ofcourse:
Abortion: In medicine, an abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the uterus. It is the loss of a pregnancy and does not refer to why that pregnancy was lost. Medical Terms Dictionary
The term abortion is loosely used in today's society. Abortion can be used to not only describe a miscarriage which is when the body aborts the fetus due to natural causes; moreover, abortion can also be used to discuss the medical procedure where the mother choses to have a baby's life terminated for medical, social, economic, or personal reasons. However, for the purpose of this blog I will be using the term abortion in the latter definition- the definition where it is not naturally done by the mother's body (i.e. miscarriage). I will be using the term to discuss the medical procedure that is done 3,700 times a day in United States. It is a procedure that kills the innocent life in the womb.
Now you may be asking the question, how is she taking her stance on abortion? The answer starts off simply: Psalms 139:13-16. Psalms 139 was written by David before the time of Christ. Psalms 139 states:
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Ok, so after reading the above excerpt from Psalms, you will notice that I have highlighted some key phrases or things that need to be delved into a little more. For example in verse 13, the phrase "knit me together in my mother's womb" is unique based upon the verb used in this phrase "knit". Knit is a verb that requires thought; for example, why wasn't the verb "placed" used instead? Knitting is an action that involves purpose. The ultimate goal of knitting is to create an object with a specific purpose; Examples: Booties to cover babies feet, blankets for warmth and comfort, or any other knit object with a specific function or purpose. This thought of being knit with a purpose then ties into verse 16 when it states "all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be"; basically tying into that idea that all indivduals are uniquely created and each person has their own purpose, their own function, their own reason for being.
Therefore, based on the above verses we must believe that life begins at conception, because God is knitting a specific unique individual whom He will decide their destiny. Not us. God has a purpose for every individuals life before they are breathed into existence; therefore, who are we to decide who lives, who dies, and what happens to the unborn?
