Legalization of ‘murders’ came 45 years ago

Forty-five years ago on Jan. 22, 1973, seven black-robed men declared war on helpless, innocent little unborn baby boys and girls with the passing of Roe vs. Wade. Thus began the national sin of abortion, the most cowardly murder of all murders, the killing of defenseless babies in their mothers’ wombs. Think about it: Seven men set the stage for the most brutal and massive slaughter ever in America. The court ruled the unborn child was not a person, but only a “potential person.” To date, approximately 59 million baby boys and girls have been murdered.

America’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, granted life to all Americans, including the unborn. The cowardly murder of the unborn violates “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” as mentioned in the very first sentence of the second paragraph of the Declaration. Many would argue “I can do what I want with my body. ” I agree, as long as only the mother’s body is involved. In pregnancies , there are two bodies involved. In case of twins, three bodies are involved. The most important question of all is what does God, who creates life, say about the shedding of innocent blood? His word, in Jeremiah tells us, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.”

In God’s Ten Commandments, the Lord’s word is very clear about the sin of murder. “Thou shalt not kill.” FRED COLEMAN Fort Smith
