Based on the previous verses, it becomes quite clear that if
a husband is opposed to his wife obtaining an abortion, her
responsibility, as mandated by God's Word, is to submit to
her husband's will; for in so doing, she is submitting unto
the Lord. So as you can see, this ridiculous notion, and in
fact, lie, that a woman has a right to do with her body as
she pleases, is totally contrary to the Scriptures, and is in
reality an evil invention of modern, ungodly abortionists. It
should also be noted that even if the husband does not oppose
the abortion, it is still wrong to obtain one for the reasons
which I have already stated. Furthermore, if the husband does
agree to the abortion, then he makes himself an accomplice to
her crime against God, as well as against the unborn child
which they have agreed to slaughter.

But surely no true, Bible-believing, God-fearing Christian
woman would ever consent to having an abortion, would she?
While I was conducting some web research for this series, I
discovered some shocking information which should alarm all
Christians. According to "The Center Of Bio-Ethical Reform"
website, a full seventy per cent of all abortions that are
performed in the United States, are requested by women of
faith of one form or another. Consider the following tragic
statistics:

37.4% - Protestant women
31.3% - Catholic women
23.7% - women with no religious affiliation
18.0% - Born-again/Evangelical women
1.30% - Jewish woman

One would think that most abortions are obtained by women
who do not profess belief in God, but to our shame, this is
clearly not the case. Protestants and Catholics appear to
be the guiltiest parties of all. Also, please note that the
18.0% figure is actually a part of the Protestant group as
well; at least that is how I interpret the data.

I suspect that part of the problem is that many women today
have been poisoned by the philosophy of the "women's lib"
movement. As a result, rather than just humbly accept their
traditional role in society, as is ordained by God's Word,
they have chosen to engage in such things as the so-called
fight for the equality of the sexes. So many women now feel
that they have to prove to the world that they are just as
"good" as men. No you don't! Simply be a good wife to your
husband, as well as a good mother to your children. That is
what God expects and demands of you most, and nothing more.
In fact, I would dare say that in fulfilling these Biblical
obligations, He will bless you the most, and you will also
reap the reward of being the happiest, and feeling the most
fulfilled in life. As Jesus said:

"If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
John 13:17, KJV

Another great verse from the Book of Proverbs states:

"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth
favour of the LORD."
Proverbs 18:22, KJV

Thus, contrary to modern opinion which contradicts the Bible,
the truth of the matter is that being a stay-at-home wife and
mother is definitely not something of which a woman should
feel the least bit ashamed. For more information regarding
the topic of marriage relationships, please consider reading
other articles such as "Women Shepherds: The Family Sex Cult
Exposed Again", and "Churchianity Or Christianity: Which Do
You Practice?".

Of course, the way that some people try to circumvent the
Biblical truths that I just presented, is by claiming that
they don't believe in God; and therefore, His Laws, and His
Word, don't apply to them. They know that they'll never win
against God's Word, so they have no other recourse than to
continue to try to defend their wayward position with what
appear to be logical arguments. On the surface, saying that
they don't believe in God, and therefore are not bound by
His Word, may sound quite logical to some people, but in
reality it isn't.

As I recently pointed out to some of my online friends, to
feign ignorance to God and His Word, is like attempting to
speed down a roadway at sixty miles an hour, when all along
your route there are signs which clearly tell you that the
speed limit is thirty-five miles per hour. Eventually, you
are going to be pulled over by a police officer, (hopefully
an honest one who doesn't accept bribes), who is more than
likely going to present you with a speeding ticket.

If you go to traffic court, and try to plead your innocence
by explaining to the judge that you just don't recognize the
legality of speed limit signs, or worse yet, that you don't
recognize his authority as the judge, he is going to laugh
in your face and probably lay a heavy fine on you. If you're
foolish enough to act belligerently and argue with him, you
might even end up spending a few days in jail. So it is with
God. You may deny His existence, or refuse to recognize the
Authority of His Word as Divine Law, but it does not make a
bit of difference. If you violate His Laws, (which is what
sin is -- 1 John 3:4), you will be found guilty as charged.
As the Apostle Paul once boldly declared to the Greeks on
Mars' Hill in the city of Athens:

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath
appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised
him from the dead."
Acts 17:30-31, KJV

Paul is of course referring to Jesus, who will righteously
judge the world one of these days. As Paul states, God may
put up with our foolish rebellion and feigned ignorance for
a while, but sooner or later, He is going to be forced to
put His foot down; and trust me; if you are on the wrong
side of the fence at that time, you are not going to like
what happens next. So to reiterate my point, attempting to
find some way around God's Laws is an exercise in futility,
because the Bible plainly tells us that our God is the God
of the Universe; He is the God of all flesh. Furthermore,
we are told that God's Laws are written upon the tables of
our hearts, whether we have ever read the Bible or not. As
a result, we are all without excuse. We know the difference
between right and wrong; and abortion is definitely wrong.
Consider these verses:

"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any
thing too hard for me?"
Jeremiah 32:27, KJV

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after those
days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts,
and in their minds will I write them;"
Hebrews 10:16, KJV

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature
the things contained in the law, these, having not the law,
are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law
written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing
witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;)"
Romans 2:14-15, KJV

This issue of feigning ignorance, and trying to find a way
around God's Laws, (as if that is really possible), ties in
to an issue that we discussed earlier. As we have seen, one
tactic that abortion advocates frequently use in their vain
attempts to try to justify the violent, murderous acts that
are daily perpetrated upon the unborn, is to try to conceal
their evil deeds behind the "legal fence" that is now known
as the "right to privacy" issue. The mentality seems to be
"out-of-sight, out-of-mind". While the world at large may
be foolish enough to accept this flimsy excuse, God is most
certainly not. In fact, the Bible clearly tells us that it
is utterly useless for us to try to hide our sins from the
Almighty. As the old saying goes, "Be sure that your sins
will find you out"; and that most certainly applies to the
ugly, ungodly sin of abortion. Concerning the hypocritical
religious leaders of His own day, Jesus Christ Himself
stated:

"For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
neither hid, that shall not be known."
Luke 12:2, KJV

"If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had
sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin."
John 15:22, KJV

In his Epistles, the Apostle Paul also makes it clear that
we all have a future appointment with the Lord, and that we
will be judged according to our actions in this life:

"But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set
at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ . . . So then every one of us shall
give account of himself to God."
Romans 14:10, 12, KJV

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
2 Corinthians 5:10, KJV

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment:"
Hebrews 9:27, KJV

In the Old Testament, we are also told that some people will
be raised to Everlasting Life, while others will be raised
to shame and everlasting contempt, as we see here:

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt."
Daniel 12:2, KJV

So as you can plainly see, we may be able to fool others at
times, and we can try to hide our sins behind the legality
of the law, such as with the right to privacy and abortion,
but no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot fool God. He
knows the score; and the Day of Reckoning is coming for each
and every one of us. That includes for the people who engage
in the violent act of abortion, whether we choose to believe
it or not. We will all have to acknowledge our sins. Knowing
then that we will each have to answer for ourselves, should
go a long way in motivating us to always make certain that
we are doing the right thing in the Lord's eyes to the best
of our knowledge and ability; particularly in such issues as
abortion, where another person's life is involved.

One question which I posed earlier in this series, is why,
after so many years, and after having so many conservative
judges appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as to
the Federal Appeals Courts, has abortion remained the law of
the land? While some people might point to legal issues as
the root problem, from some of the research that I've done,
I have formed the impression that some justices on the U.S.
Supreme Court are hesitant to overturn Roe v. Wade because,
in their view, the current social environment within the USA
is not yet conducive to doing so. In other words, they feel
that the American public is not quite ready yet for such a
monumental change in the legal status of abortion. Obviously,
while the Conservative Right and Bible-believing Christians
would rejoice at such a gesture by the Supreme Court, there
would also be a public outcry against such a move, by the
individuals and organizations that we discussed earlier in
this series, as well as by many other women.

As I lay in bed this morning, still waking up from a good
night's rest, my mind turned to this current series, being
as it was the last thing that I worked on last night before
retiring. As I lay there pondering this issue, I thought of
a simple way to illustrate in a powerful way, the distorted
social attitude which seems to currently prevail in the USA,
when it comes to the contentious issue of abortion. I must
assume that this same attitude also prevails in other parts
of the world as well, due to the fact that approximately 42
million legal abortions are performed worldwide annually. I
want you to consider the following incidents and the general
public's reaction to them. These incidents are listed in no
particular order, except for the last one:

1. Sept. 11, 2001, 3,000+ people dead  - shock, dismay, anger
2. Columbine High School shootings     - shock, dismay, anger
3. John F. Kennedy's assassination     - shock, dismay, anger
4. Martin Luther King's assassination  - shock, dismay, anger
5. Jeffrey Dahmer, 17 gory murders     - shock, dismay, anger
6. John Lennon's murder                - shock, dismay, anger
7. Bali Bombings, 202 dead             - shock, dismay, anger
8. Oklahoma City Bombing, 168 dead     - shock, dismay, anger
9. Branch Davidians Siege, 82 dead     - shock, dismay, anger
10. Jonestown Mass Suicide, 909 dead   - shock, dismay, anger
11. Heaven's Gate Suicides, 39 dead    - shock, dismay, anger

12. 1.3 million annual US abortions    - it's a woman's right
	                                 to do with her body
	                                 as she pleases.

Clearly, there is something wrong with our society, when the
vast majority of people express shock, dismay, anger, disgust
and repulsion upon hearing of the above-noted events, and yet
so many of those same people adopt such indifference when it
comes to the ugly issue of abortion, and the pre-meditated,
cold-blooded slaughter of over 1.37 million unborn, innocent
children annually in the United States of America alone.

It just seems to me that if the Supreme Court justices truly
wanted to correct the serious legal mistake that was made so
long ago, surely they would have done it already. Think about
the following. The Roe v. Wade case was first argued before
the Supreme Court on December 9, 1971. It was then reargued
ten months later on October 11, 1972. The Supreme Court then
ruled in favor of "Jane Roe", on January 22, 1973. In short,
Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court in a matter of
just over thirteen months. Thirty-six years have now passed
since then; so why is it that the Supreme Court is finding it
so difficult to reverse its decision? It just amazes me that
three women in their mid-twenties -- Sarah Weddington, Linda
Coffee and Norma L. McCorvey -- were able to convince the
supposedly wise sages of the U.S. Supreme Court, who should
have known better than to have made the Roe v. Wade ruling.

While there exists a variety of reasons, both legal, as well
as Bible-based, regarding why the Roe v. Wade ruling should
be overturned, one which I find particularly compelling is
the fact that the determination was made in part, based upon
what we now know was an intentional deception. In the case,
Norma L. McCorvey, (who adopted the pseudonym of "Jane Roe"),
claimed that her pregnancy was the result of being raped. She
has since admitted that this was not true. Furthermore, she
has since stated that she was a pawn who was manipulated by
two rather ambitious Texas attorneys by the names of Sarah
Weddington and Linda Coffee, who were looking for a plaintiff
with whom they could challenge Texas law which made abortion
illegal, except in the case when it is necessary to save a
woman's life. I am obviously no legal scholar, but unless I
am mistaken, isn't perjury sufficient reason to throw out a
case? Isn't this a valid reason to revisit the Roe v. Wade
ruling, even though thirty-six years have passed?

What I find ironic is the fact that while this famous case
revolved around McCorvey's right to obtain an abortion, she
never actually had the abortion, and gave birth to a girl,
which she gave up for adoption. It might also interest you
to know that in 1995, McCorvey made a full reversal, and
allied herself with "Operation Rescue", which is dedicated
to making abortion illegal again. In her 1998 book entitled
"Won By Love", McCorvey described the defining moment when
she reversed her position regarding abortion. She wrote:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I was sitting in O.R.'s offices when I noticed a fetal
development poster. The progression was so obvious, the
eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart, just looking at them.
I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me. "Norma," I said
to myself, "They're right." I had worked with pregnant
women for years. I had been through three pregnancies and
deliveries myself. I should have known. Yet something in
that poster made me lose my breath. I kept seeing the
picture of that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to
myself, that's a baby! It's as if blinders just fell off my
eyes and I suddenly understood the truth -- that's a baby!"

"I felt crushed under the truth of this realization. I had
to face up to the awful reality. Abortion wasn't about
"products of conception." It wasn't about "missed periods."
It was about children being killed in their mother's wombs.
All those years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was
wrong. Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong. No more
of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester
stuff. Abortion - at any point - was wrong. It was so clear.
Painfully clear."

----- End Quote -----

Realizing how much damage she had caused to unborn children,
in 2004, in the case McCorvey v. Hill, the former "Jane Doe"
petitioned to have the 1973 ruling overturned. In the case,
she argued that Roe v. Wade should be heard again in light of
evidence that abortion does harm to women. However, due to a
legal time limitation, the US District Court for the Northern
District of Texas ruled that it was too late for McCorvey to
file her case. The district court's ruling was upheld by the
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; and on February 22,
2005, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Judicial Review, known in
legalese as "Certiorari", thus rendering the Fifth Circuit's
ruling final; and that is where the case currently stands.
Furthermore, I have read certain legal opinions which seem
to indicate that due to the specific language that was used
in the ruling, it is possible that Roe v. Wade may never be
overturned.

What the above information tells me personally, is that the
U.S. Supreme Court apparently has no desire or interest in
overturning Roe v. Wade. Think about this for a moment. Ms.
Norma L. McCorvey petitioned at a time when a conservative
administration was in office, and the U.S. Supreme Court is
filled with conservative-minded justices. In spite of these
facts, by resorting to Certiorari, the court was basically
saying "We have no interest in reviewing the case". If this
is the best that we can anticipate from a conservative court
during a conservative administration, can you imagine what's
going to happen when President-elect Obama takes office in
less than two weeks?

The handwriting is obviously already written on the wall, and
has been for some time. As we discussed before in this series,
the Freedom of Choice Act will become law just as soon as the
US Congress passes the final version of the bill to incoming
president, Barack Obama. As I recently explained to some of
my online friends, I was reading a news article which again
confirms that Obama won't hesitate to undo some of the good
that President Bush has managed to accomplish in the fight to
overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling during the eight years of his
presidency.

The article deals with the Bush Administration's attempt to
push through a proposed rule which would prohibit recipients
of federal money from discriminating against doctors, nurses,
pharmacy workers, and other health care workers, who, due to
their "religious beliefs or moral convictions", refuse to be
involved in abortion procedures, or sterilization procedures.
Halfway through the article in question, Obama's intentions
regarding this rule, (should it become effective), are made
perfectly clear. Consider these excerpts from the article:

----- Begin Quote -----

The protest from the commission comes on the heels of other
objections to the rule by doctors, pharmacists, hospitals,
state attorneys general and political leaders, including
President-elect Barack Obama.

Mr. Obama has said the proposal will raise new hurdles to
women seeking reproductive health services, like abortion
and some contraceptives.

Officials at the Health and Human Services Department said
they intended to issue a final version of the rule within
days. Aides and advisers to Mr. Obama said he would try to
rescind it, a process that could take three to six months.

----- End Quote -----

The way that Obama will probably rescind this rule, will be
by signing the all-encompassing Freedom of Choice Act just
soon as it lands on his desk. As we saw earlier, FOCA will
make abortion on demand the unquestionable law of the land;
and medical professionals won't be able to refuse to perform
an abortion, without facing serious legal repercussions. If
this is truly an act dealing with the freedom of choice, why
will these medical professionals be forced to do something
which is against their conscience? FOCA will in fact legally
enforce the will of the abortionists upon everyone. The name
of this bill is nothing short of deceptive.

So as I've been warning for the past several months, in spite
of the wild jubilation that millions of Americans experienced
following Obama's November 4th victory, the real truth of the
matter is that the United States has turned another dark page
in its moral decline by electing Obama. The general consensus
is that during his term in office, he will have opportunity
to appoint several liberal justices to the US Supreme Court,
and probably even more to the Federal Appeals Courts as well.
If Obama's first term in office goes well with not too many
bumps, and he is re-elected in 2012, he will have opportunity
to do even more damage. If we consider that US Supreme Court
justices usually serve for life, the depth of the damage that
Obama can and probably will do becomes even more apparent.

Therefore, while many people in America watch as the waning
days of the Bush Administration are slowly counted down, and
anticipate the inauguration of their new president, there is
really no reason for us Christians to rejoice. Please refer
to the four-part series "Obama, McCain And The Bush Legacy"
for more information regarding this issue.

As I noted earlier, as a result of their rejection of God's
Word, many people aimlessly walk in spiritual darkness. One
of the consequences of their belligerence against the Lord
is that they are forced to create their own set of rules by
which to live, based upon their flawed moral standard. This
of course affects their personal perspective regarding the
issue of abortion. While I've mentioned a number of flawed
excuses that are sometimes used in order to try to justify
slaughtering an unborn innocent child, perhaps some of the
saddest, most twisted, and truly bizarre reasons come from
two people with whom I communicated online several years
ago. The first person stated as follows:

----- Begin Quote -----

"It sounds like you enjoy your life. It's not so easy for
some people. The children born to parents who would want to
abort them are children who will not have a happy life. Be
glad they do not have a chance at God's gift . . . You are
doing them a favor in many cases. If the parents don't want
them, what do they have to look forward to? They certainly
won't belong to any family . . . Is life so grand where you
live? People around here who grow up without a family turn
into criminals and drug dealers."

----- End Quote -----

A second person, who also engaged in this same conversation
with us, made the following similar astounding remarks:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Then I look at the other side. Would you rather have 15
year old mothers aborting their babies or stuffing them in
trash cans? Flushing them down the toilet? Throwing them off
bridges? At least once a week in this country, (the United
States), we hear of a new baby thrown in a dumpster, had in
the bathroom during a school dance, and left in the bathroom
to die, dropped into a river, or tied in a plastic bag. The
babies won't even be given the option of a painless death.
They will die cruelly, or they will be neglected, beaten,
and otherwise not taken care of their whole lives. Perhaps
they will be put into foster care, bouncing from home to
home to home all their life, or another teenager on welfare
payroll. Can you actually say that God would want these
babies to be born into such conditions? I don't think it's
murder. I think that it's a good thing to allow mothers the
choice of abortion, or bringing yet another welfare baby
into the world."

----- End Quote -----

When I read the previous comments by these two individuals, I
was absolutely appalled. As I stated earlier, the people who
make such shocking comments have fully convinced themselves
that their positions are not only very logical, but in fact,
very humanitarian as well. As you can see, in their sick and
perverted frame of mind, these people have actually convinced
themselves that slaughtering an unborn innocent child in cold
blood is doing them a big favor. Their sense of morality is
so completely warped, that they even insist that we should be
glad that these unborn children are killed, and won't have to
suffer. May God help them by enlightening them to the truth!

The fact of the matter remains that the idea of committing
one horrendous act of violence, (in this case, abortion), in
order to potentially prevent another horrible act from being
committed, (dumping aborted fetuses in garbage cans, etc.),
is totally unjustifiable. It is downright sick!

As we have already seen, in addition to the fact that no one
has the right to play "God", none of us knows the future of
any of these unborn children, other than God Himself; and if
He willed them into existence, as I believe He did, then it
must be for a very good reason, whether we understand it or
know it or not. Concerning the question regarding whether or
not God wants children to grow up in a negative environment,
allow me to say this: Of course He doesn't; however, neither
is it God's fault that they do. The Lord expects that mother,
or those two parents, to forsake their selfish, foolish ways,
and to raise that child properly in a loving environment. If
they fail to do so, you can bet that He will hold them very
accountable.

We saw earlier from the verses in Psalm 139 that God not
only knew us long before we were conceived in our mother's
womb, but He even designed our exact physical appearance as
well. Having now looked at Psalm 139, as well as the story
of the young Prophet Jeremiah, allow me to share yet another
interesting example that is found in the pages of the Old
Testament.

In this case, God foresaw and planned the birth of the son
of Abraham; that is, the Patriarch Isaac, who would become
the father of Jacob. Jacob, of course, would later be known
as Israel, and would become the father of the Twelve Tribes
of Israel. If you are familiar with the story, then perhaps
you already know that Abraham and Sarah were well stricken
in years, far beyond Sarah's ability to conceive or bare any
children for Abraham. Naturally, Abraham was very concerned,
because other than Eliezer, who was a Damascene, and also
the steward of Abraham's house, he had no flesh heir. Here
is a part of the story:

"And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I
go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no
seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And,
behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This
shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of
thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him
forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the
stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him,
So shall thy seed be."
Genesis 15:2-5, KJV

Well, several chapters later, we find both Abraham and Sarah
laughing in disbelief at the words of the Lord, because dear
Abraham is already one hundred years old, and his wife Sarah
is ninety years old. But Abraham and Sarah soon realize that
this is no laughing matter, and that the Lord is being quite
serious about this whole issue. We'll find out exactly what
the Lord told them as we continue this story in part five.

Please go to part five for the continuation of this series.
