Society has become desensitized and blind to our past mistakes due to the selfishness and self-centered mentality of people today, leading us to ignorantly make the same mistakes again. America has come through some of the most trying times and tremendous changes have been made in an effort to improve the lives of the inhabitants of this great nation. Unfortunately there seems to be a devastating pattern that we to fall prey to bringing the advancement of the people to a halt and causing mass confusion and separation. Once more we face the issue of equality but this time it's not dealing with skin color or ethnic origin, but rather the questioning of who is considered human. I've viewed numerous ads, pictures and other mediums used to either speak against or support abortion. However when I saw the visual I've based this analysis upon it gave me a new perspective of abortion and a greater passion to write about it, in protest.
This depiction is by far one of the most influential pieces of work created in contrast to abortion and deserves serious consideration. As stated previously America has, just recently, overcame one of the most controversial issues faced in this nation and it has become a staple in our history...slavery. Yet here we are again dealing with the issue of whom we consider to be fully human and while we're debating this in the courts, at board meetings, in the town halls and even within the walls of the White House children are being stripped of the very thing given to them by virtue which is life. This picture effectively and profoundly depicts the underlying correlation between the abortion of an unborn child and the killing of African American slaves. Consider the history of the slaves, they were forcefully brought to America by the decisions of others. And made to serve against their wills, being beaten and killed because of the misconception of who they were. Now we're faced with a similar issue of aborting unborn children who were brought into reality by the decision of others, yet they are destroyed because of the misconception of who they are...do you see the
pattern?

When we no longer see another life as precious, then we revert to seeing that life as expendable. God said that, "I knew you before you were born. I knit you in your mother's womb." Who are we to believe that we know better than God. How arrogant have we become. We treat the life of the unborn as if it was a piece of garbage, to be thrown away, giving no thought as to whom this person is, or will become. Since, we no longer acknowledge that God exists, then we don't believe that their is any accountability for our actions. How deceived have we become.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible in Jeremiah 1:4-5 says, "The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;"
ReplyDeleteGod is referring to knowing Jeremiah, but it can be applied to our lives as well. Each unborn child is precious to God. Saying that a fetus is not a human being or a person, goes against what the Scriptures state about life.
