I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.
- Ronald Reagan
In a single generation the loss of human life by clinical abortion has grown to eclipse all other forms of killing in America. With globally well over a billion slaughtered, the womb has replaced the battle field, freeways and crack houses as the world's most dangerous place.
Furthermore, the aborting of perhaps a third or more of our offspring, depending on the veracity of contraceptive abortion, has devastated the conscience and soul of every nation legalizing the barbaric act. From the men and women seeking abortion, to the institutions supporting its proliferation, the quantity and quality of so much innocent blood has spiritually stained our blue planet red.
Pro-life is an umbrella term generally representing arguments against abortion, euthanasia and destructive embryonic cell research. The many articles in this section offer deeper insights into the spiritual aspects of primarily abortion's global impact on society in general and modern Christianity in particular.
Simply put, abortion represents the single most diabolical act since the betrayal and murder of God the Son. In fact, given Christ's complete identification with "the least of these My brothers" it may well rank as the pinnacle sin of mankind.
Adding to our dilemma is the hidden nature of the destruction. With the majority of abortions being performed on first trimester embryos, many consider these victims nothing more than a clump of inviable tissue mass, as in the case of a tumor. Even in the case of many second trimester abortions, the baby body parts are tiny and quickly sold or disposed of.
The status and humanity of the pre-born is of extreme importance. Thankfully Scripture seems to anticipate such a ghastly debate. For example, consider the first charismatic meeting in the New Testament. Note all four participants:
- “Mary didn’t waste a minute. She got up and traveled to a town in Judah in the hill country, straight to Zachariah’s house, and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby in her womb leaped. She was filled with the Holy Spirit, and sang out exuberantly, “You’re so blessed among women, and the babe in your womb, also blessed! And why am I so blessed that the mother of my Lord visits me? The moment the sound of your greeting entered my ears, The babe in my womb skipped like a lamb for sheer joy. Blessed woman, who believed what God said, believed every word would come true!” Luke 1:39-45 The Message
While murdering over a billion babes in utero continues on in secret, the damage abortion causes to individuals and societies is not so easily hidden. The guilt and therefore the repercussions extend far being the immediate perpetrators. Just as 90% of an iceberg is submerged, so the greatest impact of abortion goes unseen. Remember, it was the mountain of ice below the surface that tore the haul of the Titanic...
Corrupted Institutions
Every culture, society and nation has institutions designed to protect the health and well being of its citizens from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Since America legalized abortion, the foundations of our greatest institutions have been undermined. More than four decades of attack have left the pillars of our society cracked and crumbling. In regards to abortion, far from protecting its youngest and most vulnerable future citizenry, these institutions are implicit in the murders of tens of millions.
Some of these include:
- Supreme Court: Justices, revisionist policies and the appointment process.
- Political System: Both politicians and the pro-death lobbying process.
- Medical Profession: Those performing abortions and those failing to appropriately oppose the murderous and injurious practice.
- Legal Process: Police, judges and a court system condoning abortion and penalizing "rescuers" and other pro-life efforts.
- Education System: From abortion providers tax funded sexual education for public schools (fox guarding the hen house) to assistance in secret abortions for minors.
- Media: Unabated support for abortion and vilification of pro-life concerns. Glorification of entitlement, immorality and the saturation of soft porn. Biased treatment of the merits of humanism's pro-death agendas.
In many respects, the groups of professionals mentioned above represent the best and brightest society has to offer. How can it be that the very institutions that once made Western society great have turned on and devoured over a billion of our offspring?
Abortion's Crowning Victory
There is one institution entrusted as the gate keeper of all human society. The Church, ordained by God and acknowledged by man, had stood vigil as guard and conscience of Christian nations for millennia.
Our greatest institutions were inspired and guided by the truth given to the Church for the benefit of all humanity. From the 1st century to the first half of the 20th, Christianity in general, and Western Christianity in particular, was the "city on a hill," the "lampstand" providing light and direction for the whole Earth.
For the last several decades, however, the very Christian nations that once evangelized the world with the Gospel of Christ have become heralds of another message. Rather than Christ's command to love our neighbor through self sacrifice, this new "gospel" promotes self love through sacrificing our most consummate neighbor, our pre-born.
All three of Christ's greatest teachings on salvation reveal a singular theme overlooked by modern Christianity. In the Sheep and the Goats, the Rich Man and Lazarus and the Good Samaritan the eternal destination of individuals rests solely on their treatment of one another. Each of these amazing stories contains descriptions of actual events with the greatest of spiritual significance. Individually and collectively they should be studied exhaustively. Each builds upon the next revealing a clear, wonderful yet neglected message of what God genuinely requires of each of us.
Could our participation in and/or lack of action on behalf of the pre-born be drastically effecting Churchianity, undermining such sacraments as communion and worship? What effect might the abortion of a billion, 5-10 times the entire earth’s population in Christ’s day, be having on our prayers and even salvation? Might we have failed to notice our failure to properly understand the Bible’s definition of repentance and discipleship? Might insensitive to the Holy Spirit, in this and other matters, be turning our precious faith into presumption? Could decades of immorality and disobedience have knocked us off-line when it comes to experiencing the fullness of God in our churches, families and individual lives?
UPDATE: Roe vs. Wade Overturned
To the joy of countless millions, on Friday 6/24/22 the landmark decision Hobbs vs. Jackson by the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe vs. Wade. Thus auspiciously ending 50 years of national tyranny against 60 million pre-born.
Or at lease throwing the decision to allow mothers to continue conspiring with physicians to murder the offspring within their wombs back to America's 50 individual states...
Nor does it address the more subtle yet sinful and deadly issue of contraceptive abortifacients, prevalent throughout society and modern Christianity.
While I now live in North East Texas, years ago I spent nearly 100 Saturdays at Central California clinics warning and imploring up to twenty girls a day to spare their babies. Via public parking constraints, forced to pass near I implored, “If God gives you the gift of a child don’t let anyone harm it” while handing them carefully explicit literature.
Often alone, sometimes there would be nearly a handful of us. On a good day, one or two mothers would listen and change their minds.
On many other occasions none at all.
As in Christ's end time parable of the Sheep and Goats, there I discovered Jesus in His smallest and most innocent form. Totally dependent for “food” and “drink,” “naked” and “in prison” in the very womb of His mother. There I watched as He was repeatedly carried, “Like a lamb to the slaughter,” into a medical clinic. A most solemn and sorrowful scenario with grave spiritual ramifications.
One repeated in Fresno alone over 50,000 times.
In over two years I don’t recall a single member of the clergy or even lay leader joining us. Though I understand the odds may have somewhat improved through the influence of 40 Days For Life.
Only a fraction of fraction of a percent of ordained ministers have served as a director of a leading pro-life organization. Far less still have had the honor and responsibility to act as a leading liaison to over a thousand churches in state wide pro-life political initiatives.
With well over thirty years in strategic Christian service, including more than a decade of pastoral ministry and pro-life activism, the author is privileged to belong to a select fraternity. This and other articles and books represent a culmination of this experience. Using such depth perception, this commentary is intended to introduce the true nature of the challenge presented by abortion. Particularly to modern Christianity.
During California’s 2005 Prop. 73 Parent’s Right To Know initiative I produced the pro-life political DVD entitled “Protect Me…Please” to be shown in hundreds, if not thousands of churches, prior to or on election Sunday. Groundbreaking, the 3 minute video featuring post abortive laments of teenage girls, made the front page of both the LA Times and San Francisco Chronicle. Prop. 73 failed by a narrow margin.
During the subsequent Prop. 85 initiative I achieved another milestone. For the first time, four leading Protestant state denominations, the Southern Baptists, Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel and Foursquare, officially endorsed a political initiative. Again Parent’s Right to Know (PRK) was defeated.
Our third attempt in 2008 with Prop 4. affectionately dubbed “Sarah’s Law” failed as well. More than political, my involvement was spiritually motivated. After having spoken to thousands of Christians across denominational lines, it was clear that far less than 1% of either clergy or laity had the vaguest notion of the scale of abortion’s true threat to either the pre-born or the Church.
As a topical Biblical commentary, Quantum Christianity was designed in recognition of the need to examine and handle truth carefully and honestly. Scriptural and otherwise. The nationalized legalization of clinical abortion, and its apparent overruling, presents a perfect case in point.
A faithful handling of the Old and New Testament requires would be students and adherents to develop spiritual discernment on a variety of subjects crucial to Biblical Christianity. The lack of which has produced hundreds of differing denominations espousing various Christs and versions of the gospel. Tragically, many of the hopeful insights inherent in Christ's command to "Judge with righteous judgment" continue to go largely unrealized within modern Christianity.
Such is certainly the case when considering the American church's 50 year track record in regards to an appropriate response to abortion. Or more accurately, the lack thereof. Both clinically and contraceptively.
Bear in mind that church attending Christians could have ended abortion in a single day, 365 days a year, for 50 years, by simply sending 1% of our congregations to have family friendly picnics in front of every abortion clinic in America. With thousands peacefully blocking entrances, even should there be numerous arrests, the sheer numbers involved would shut down all abortuaries in a single day. With 99% more now authentically pro-life Christians waiting for a chance to join cause.
Yet nothing could be further from the case. Then or now.
Nor have we seriously addressed the widespread use of abortifacient contraception throughout Christendom. A topic that many, if not most, churches and even pro-life organizations know or speak little about. Most often chemical in nature, early term abortions are a result of various forms of birth control and other devices. Abortions of this kind happen before the mother is aware of her pregnancy. The exact numbers are unknown. Some estimates suggest the daily total of these types of abortions may be surprising large. In the U.S. alone perhaps between 834,000 to over 4,000,000 per year (Dr. Bobmir Kuhar, Infant Homicides Through Contraceptives Pg 27.) Lower estimates range around 100,000 to over 1,500,000 annually (Randy Alcorn: Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions? How Often Does the Pill Cause Abortions?)
Thus the compelling need to rethink Jesus' directive to “Judge with righteous judgment” should be abundantly evident.
But is it? Throughout the Hobbs vs. Jackson decision by the Supreme Court celebratory posts and podcasts, sermons and ceremonies, is there any awareness of the reality of the seriousness our situation? Or brokenhearted repentance in light of the depth of our failures?
Are any of today's joyful messages cognizant of the Bible's repeated warning that God is not mocked.
- “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. Galatians 6:7 AMP
- For they sow the wind [in evil] And they reap the whirlwind [in disaster]. Hosea 8:7 AMP
Is our revelry tempered with the sobering fact that while abortion is currently the pinnacle sin of mankind, it's only the tip of the iceberg? One floating in a Water World of immorality unleashed by the continual and increasing tsunami of the 60's sexual revolution redefining and/or eliminating traditional marriage and family.
These devilish sociopolitical engineering undoubtedly ushered in such modern woes as career felon George Floyd's sainthood and efforts to undermine criminal justice. Antifa and BLM riots and violence. CRT and orchestrated racial tensions. C19's plandemic and goal overreach. Medical interference and harmful vaccines. Woke agenda and transgenderism. Biden's malevolent war on Ukraine and America's economy. All part of the Great Reset.
And these are just the highlights. All coordinated and choreographed by the clearly visible and menacing Iron Triangle of liberal global politics, media and corporations.
Yet even now, modern Christianity, up to and including the vast majority of Prophetic Christians, refuses to discern the clearly repeated handwriting on the wall. And having done so, to enter the crucible of James 4's Prayer of Anguish in hopes of James 5's reconciliation to, and empowerment by, God.
Particularly the Person of the Holy Spirit, Whom we continue to annoy and grieve, if not profane and blaspheme.
Instead, across America, Laodicea is masquerading as Philadelphia. Lauding the Supreme Court for Hobbs vs. Jackson while the highest court in the land continues to sidestep or support all the devastating atrocities mentioned above. Many of which modern Christianity has yet to Scripturally repent of, up to and including sins of clinical and/or contraceptive abortion. In regards to commission and/or omission.
Mankind’s current pinnacle sin of abortion is spiritually quantum in a variety of ways. For example, it’s hardly just like any other sin. Even so, as with any other sin, it does require the event and process of genuine repentance. Like faith itself, honest and heartfelt repentance encompasses our entire mind, heart and will. As required by the previously mentioned passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14’s perfect formula for repentance.
