Pro-Choice Is No Choice

A Gallup poll from May 2018 showed the citizens of the U.S. evenly divided on whether they consider themselves to be pro-choice or pro-life (news.gallup.com).

While there have been legal advancements against abortion protecting the lives of the unborn, there have also been setbacks. One just happened in New York state recently.

Since 2014, "an estimated twenty-five to twenty-seven percent of pregnancies end in abortion"("How Abortion Law in New York Will Change, and How It Won't," Jia Tolentino, newyorker.com). The New York state assembly just passed a law that "makes it legal for doctors and other health care professionals, such as midwives and physician assistants, to perform abortions up until birth for any reason"("New York passes bill allowing abortion up to birth, for any reason," Leonardo Blair, christianpost.com).

New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said, "We're saying that here in New York, women's health matters. We're saying here in New York, women's lives matter. We're saying here in New York, women's decisions matter."(Ibid.)

They are also saying in New York the unborn child's health does not matter. They are saying in New York the life of the unborn child does not matter. They are saying in New York the unborn child's right to live does not matter. They are saying in New York it does not matter the unborn are unique human beings (Psa. 139:15-16; Lk. 1:41). Pro-choice (i.e., abortion) leaves the unborn with no choice.

Legalized abortion continues to be a scourge on our nation and the world. It is nothing short of murder as it renders unborn children valueless. No amount of covering this violence against children with the cloak of "women's health" and "women's decisions"changes the obvious fact: Abortion terminates new life!

Decisions and choices made by two people result in a new life being conceived. If you do not want a child, then decide and choose not to engage in conduct that conceives new life. God gives life, and He strictly charges us not to shed innocent blood (Gen. 8:6).

Deu_30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live”
