Today concerned citizens accross North America are participating in the Life Chain as a testament to the value of life at all stages.Thanks to Suzanne at Big Blue Wave there's a blogburst in defence of the fetal rights.
I'm happy to be part of it. The miracle of creation is so extraoridinary it's breathtaking when I pause to reflect on it. It's equally breathtaking that God is so gracious that he allows us to be participants in his plan. But one thing I cannot grasp is how anyone being so intimately involved could ever think to abuse the process by aborting an unborn child or destroying an embryo to harvest its cells.
The threats against unborn children seem to grow each year. At the thin edge of the wedge, there are the heart-wrenching stories of young women who are so scared by the prospect of having a child that they feel abortion is their only option. Often these young women can be helped by simply knowing about the many caring people who are willing to help them through their pregnancy and help them raise the child, or even offer it up for adoption.
The unborn are facing even greater threats from chemical abortions through drugs such as RU-486, and from predators that wish to destroy young embryos to harvest their cells.
Now more than ever we must remember the humanity of these yet to be born children. Fetal rights are human rights and if we do not defend their rights, we will diminish our own.
PS - This is my 100th post on this blog. I'm thoroughly enjoying blogging even though I can't always find the time to do it.
PPS - If you are called to raise awareness about some of the tragedy of abortion, here's one worthy organization.
