Who is the Abortionist?
In this true story, which took place in Texas, who is the Abortionist? It is an important question given that many in the Pro-Life Movement claim that if anyone is prosecuted for doing abortions, it should be the Abortionist.
Some questions to consider:
1. Who ordered the pills (after looking at pictures that guarantee “proof of success”)?
2. Once they arrived, who administered the pills?
3. Who delivered these babies alive on the bathroom floor?
4. Who chose to allow these babies, born alive, to die?
5. Who disposed of the grisly evidence of the murder of these twins by burying them in the backyard?
So, let’s ask the question again: In Death on Delivery, who is the Abortionist? It’s obviously the mother of these twin babies (six-months gestation). She is the one who ordered the pills, swallowed the pills, delivered the babies alive on the bathroom floor, allowed them to die, and disposed of the evidence by burying the babies’ bodies in the backyard.
A Crime Against God?
According to the Bible, the Word of God, abortion is murder. In Exodus 21:22-25, men who fight between one another and accidentally cause the death of the baby of a pregnant woman are held accountable for the life of that baby. The life of that baby is of equal value, is given equal protection in the Law of God, and therefore also receives equal justice.
If we lived in a just society, the same law would apply for anyone who murders their own baby. We do not live in such a society. Whenever a law is written on any level (state, provincial, federal) which refuses to give equal justice for human life at any stage of human development, it is an unjust law. Laws such as Texas HB 7 provide special protections for women who act as the Abortionist and murder their own babies. (The law repeatedly states that the woman who does this in Texas will face no penalty at all - civil or legal.)
Regardless of what sinful legislators and governors do, abortive mothers are guilty before the bar of our holy God.
Can I be Forgiven?
Yes.
Although abortion is a serious and deadly sin, there is forgiveness in Jesus Christ. The sin of murder, which is condemned by the Sixth Commandment (Exodus 20:13), brings the sentence of guilt on the Day of Judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Please think this through. On that day when you die and stand before God, you will give an account of everything you have ever done (Revelation 20:11-15).
Forgiveness comes with the plan that God has made for the salvation of the guilty like you and me. His plan is to provide the right standing with God you need through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the eternal second Person of the Trinity, God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14). Jesus died on the Cross for sinners (people who break God’s laws). “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
You deserve to perish for your sins, but you can be forgiven. God commands that you turn from your sins (repent—Acts 17:30-31) and believe in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Cry out to Him in prayer. There are no magic words. Tell Him in your own words that you are repenting of your sins (name them). Tell Him you trust in Christ’s death and resurrection alone and not in any religious group or religious actions.
