“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.” –Senator Obama
What kind of values and morals would consider a child to be a mistake and the care of it to be a punishment? What values and morals are learned when abortion is considered as a form of birth control? Our understanding of values and morals is skewed because we have lost the foundation on which life and liberty is built and exchanged it for death and tyranny for the weak.
What is the worth of life and how do we measure the quality of life? Let us compare God’s judgment with that of men.
‘What will a man give in exchange for his soul and what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ These words of Christ give us an understanding of the infinite worth of the soul. There would be no abortion if men knew the truth of who they are as image bearers of the Infinite God.
‘He who is greatest among you will be your servant.’ Christ personified these words by defining what gives life its value. ‘I did not come to be served, but to serve and to give My life a ransom for many’.
Those who consume their life on pleasing self will lose it, but those who spend their life in serving others will find it.
