Myth—Abortion Doesn’t Matter

God Helps In Human Procreation!

“Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and

bore Cain, saying, ‘I have produced a man with the help of the Lord.’ ” Genesis 4:1 NRSV

Eve, who bore the first human child, acknowledged that her child

“was produced with the help of the Lord!” This is the truth of procreation and a woman does not have a child “on her own.” She also does not have a child when it is actually born and delivered out of the womb. A woman “is with child” from her time of conception. That is God’s perspective as He

has fashioned that child in the womb because He loves children.

Abortionites Are Lovers Of Themselves!

Abortion fulfills some “last days” prophecy in that it is a documented

act of a woman’s self-love over her God-love by those who Timothy says are “lovers of themselves.” Apostle Timothy speaks directly to women who take their baby’s life via abortion. Yes, some Abortionites are “captivated silly women, overwhelmed by their sins and swayed by all kinds of desires,

who are always being instructed and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.” They look inward instead of to God. I didn’t say it, Timothy did.

“You must understand this, that in the last days distressing

times will come. For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, brutes, haters of good, treacherous,

reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid them! For among them are those who make their way into households and captivate silly

women, overwhelmed by their sins and swayed by all kinds of desires, who are always being instructed and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Tim. 3:1-7 NRSV
