Why We Have Yet to End Abortion
Why We Have Yet to End Abortion
by Charles F. Wysong, Jr., President, American Rights Coalition, 800-634-2224
“Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents.” Jeremiah 2:34
For more than 20 years I have fought abortion. In 1986, God allowed me to pioneer the Abortion Malpractice Effort. “Abortion may be legal but malpractice is not!” Abortion has two victims: one dead, one wounded. In 1986 we began playing offense. Hundreds of women have sued abortion clinics for malpractice. The number of abortion clinics in this country has dropped from 2,000 in 1986 to fewer than 750 at the end of 2007.
But at the same time, every baby that could have been aborted in 1973 after the Roe v. Wade decision can still be aborted in 2007. The only difference is today’s methods are more barbaric.
It is time to ask: Why, as God’s people, have we made so little progress against such an obviously sinful practice? I would offer three reasons.
1. There is little prayer—public or private. In most churches, if public prayer is made at all from the pulpit, it is once a year on Sanctity of Life Sunday. And further, congregations are not encouraged nor exhorted to spend time in earnest, private prayer. “…ye have not, because ye ask not.” James 4:2
2. There is little knowledge of God’s law. “They that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.” Prov. 28:4 We are unfit to contend with the “Goliath of Abortion” when not even 1% of Christians who regularly attend church can name all ten of the Commandments.
3. As God’s people, we have yet to repent of our own abortions. I am talking about deacons taking their daughters to abortion clinics. I am also taking about the widespread use of IUDs and birth control pills among Christian married couples. Both contraceptive devices work at least part of the time by aborting a newly conceived baby at a week to two weeks after conception. A beam is in our own eye!
On April 26, 1989 the U.S. Supreme Court heard the Webster Case. The State of Missouri had passed a law that said, “Life begins at conception.” Frank Sussman the attorney for the abortion industry said if Missouri were allowed to have a law that said that life begins at conception, then the Court would have to deal with certain forms of birth control. He went on to say: “The most common forms . . . of contraception today—IUD’s, low-dose birth control pills, which are the safest type of birth control pills available—act as abortifacients. They are correctly labeled as both.” No reputable medical authority will dispute his statement! How is it, that an ungodly attorney for the abortion industry, knows this information, and the church of Jesus Christ, which is supposed to have “the manifold wisdom of God,” doesn’t seem to know it?
“Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. Ps 81:13-14
How did we come to this place of aborting our own children? First, we made the assumption that God’s command at the Creation “Be fruitful, and multiply” did not apply to our generation. Second, we no longer saw children as the Lord’s blessing as stated in Psalm 127, 128 and elsewhere. We seem to have forgotten that “the just shall live by faith;” and further forgotten that we are commanded to “Present your bodies a living sacrifice…which is your reasonable service.” Until 1930 every Christian denomination declared birth control to be sin. Today, a Christian couple going to the pastor of the typical Bible-preaching church will receive the same counsel about family size and birth control methods (with the exception of abortion) as they would if they had gone to the local director of Planned Parenthood.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, he saw the people dancing around the Golden Calf and said to Aaron, “What did this people unto thee that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?” And Aaron said… “Thou knowest the people that they are set on mischief.” Similarly, pastors think that the people before them in their congregation have their hearts set on birth control. They do not; they just don’t know Certainly there are some few who and will defend their right to practice birth control with the same vehemence that the godless defend abortion. Abortionists see abortion as the most fundamental right in our Constitution and in the eyes of some worldly Christians; birth control is THE most fundamental Christian liberty.
It is estimated that abortifacient birth control methods account for more than 13 million abortions a year. Ten times the number of all the surgical abortions per year!!!
My friend, you and I are among the watchmen on the wall (Ezekiel 3:17-21). If we will not cry out and sound a warning to the flock, their blood, and the blood of the little children that they will spill, will be on our hands in the Judgment. I know that many of you have never heard or even imagined the information that I have just given. I would simply ask you to be like the Bereans; see if these things are so; if they are, obey God. There is a well researched, free, downloadable book by author and pastor Randy Alcorn, Do Birth Control Pills Cause Abortions? @ http://www.epm.org/bcp.html.
