Sanctity of Life

President Barack Obama has been rolling back a number of the restrictions on abortion as he promised to do. He said on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, “We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.”

John Piper responded in a message,

*"No, Mr. President, you are not protecting women’s health; you are authorizing the destruction of half a million tiny women every year.

* No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom; you are authorizing the destruction of freedom for a million helpless people every year.

* No, Mr. President, killing our children does not cease to be killing our children no matter how many times you call it a private family matter. Call it what you will, they are dead, and we have killed them. And you, Mr. President, would keep the killing legal."

You can read more of John Piper's message here which presents the biblical foundation for the sanctity of life.

Note: the picture shown above is of an aborted baby at week 22 which was burned by saline solution. God help us to lovingly speak the truth to our generation who have been blinded!
