This morning I came across this article written by Dr. Albert Mohler - "Abortion is as American as Apple Pie" - The Culture of Death Finds a Voice". Dr. Mohler reminds us of the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973, and how from this "more than 50 million babies have been aborted, as a rate of over 3,000 each day." While those numbers are certainly staggering, and should make any pro-lifer shutter at the impending wrath of God that is surely to ensue for such treason against His creation - we are forgetting another side of the abortion epidemic.
It is a sad reality in which we live. "Abortion is as American as Apple Pie" - truly it is. Sadder still is that we only think of the murder of innocent babies in the sphere of a doctor physically removing the life from an unborn baby by his/her own hands and then disposing of the murdered child like a butcher disposing of scraps.
The birth control pill is an abortifacient - Marget Sanger would be so proud that one of her prized ideas (I called it the silent killer of babies) has infiltrated the minds of the masses so much so that they do not even recognize what she intended it to be used for - killing babies. The birth control pill does not prevent conception - but it does make it nearly impossible for that newly conceived baby from attaching to the lining of the uterus. Conception CAN STILL happen - and you just have no idea it did in many cases. The IUD - abortifacient. Several vaccines use aborted human fetal cell lines (human diploid cells) - and we don't even wince at this knowledge. We make excuses for why that is acceptable but we balk at the notion of a doctor injecting saline into a mother's uterus with the premeditated intention of burning the unborn baby to death - not to mention the horror of how later term abortions are done.
Yes, the murdering of innocent unborn babies is as American as apple pie - and so many who claim to be 100% pro-life do make exceptions in their hearts and in hypothetical situations when it is acceptable and even "good" to murder an unborn baby. Classify it as you will, justify it whatever way you need to - but the Lord's vengeance will not allow for excuses, no matter how eloquent and logical they may sound. You want to stand up for life - then let us all be consistent lest we face the wrath of God for even in the smallest of ways condoning or benefiting in anyway from abortion in all its many forms.
Yes, I believe this issue is pretty straightforward - however, I know so many of my Christian brothers and sisters, still in some way, sit on the fence and silently advocate abortion - possibly without even knowing it. There are no subclass of humans - not in God's creation - and we should be wise to remember this. I do applaud Dr. Mohler for sharing this article and revealing to us, once again, the "death culture" we are living in. I do wish however, more Christians would expose all of the forms in which unborn babies are being murdered each day - that number of "3,000 each day" would surely sky rocket - and to our shame too.
I fear the Church has failed our nation in so many ways, defending the life of the innocent being at the top of the list.

Wow.
I was on the pill for the first 2-3 months of marriage but went off b/c it made me too nauseous. Later,I grew to understand that children are a gift from God, so why would I want to reject a gift? Like so many,until I read this post I thought birth control prevented conception. I did not realize conception could still happen, thus making birth control a form of abortion!
Yes,we Christians need to inform and speak out. Those statistics are horrendous! I wonder if they include infanticide as well? If not, there is another rise in the statistics. However you slice it, it is murder.
I pray for those young women who feel they have no choice but to abort.
Thanks for sharing this.
