Partial Birth Abortion Ban

Scripture says that God knows a person in the womb before he or she is ever born. "For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth" (Psalms 139:13-15). This scripture leads Christians to believe that God values all human life. Partial birth abortion ban will help to protect the vulnerability of unborn babies in some situations but not all situations. Christians should continue to pray for the unborn children who are in danger of becoming victims and for the mothers and fathers to understand the implications of such acts.

The spirit is formed in the unborn child before birth. In addition, many Prophets in the Bible were called while they were still in the womb. Even Jesus was called from the womb. "Listen, O isles, unto Me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called Me from the womb; from the bowels of My mother hath He made mention of My name" (Isaiah 49:1). John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit while he was still in the womb. Scripture tells us that God sees us as a child of His own even before birth. A partial birth abortion procedure did not consider that the child might be feeling pain or that the child is a living human being capable of loving or being loved.

Jesus spent time with the children and did not allow the disciples to forbid them to come to Him (Mark 10:14). There are over 1500 verses in the Bible that mention children. Christians can be assured that children are important to the Lord. One of the blessings of marriage is to have children and to bring them up with teachings about Jesus so that they can understand the love of God and the great sacrifice He made by sending His only son to die on the cross for sin so that one day both the parents and the children can be with Him forever. Partial birth abortion procedure may take the life of the child but now those little ones are in heaven with the Lord.

In many cases a woman who decides to go through with an abortion is not thinking clearly. There may be many extenuating circumstances involved with this type of decision. Certainly the Bible also teaches that judging others is wrong and that anyone can experience the forgiveness of God by only asking for it. Some women may have gone into a clinic and not been told how the procedure would be done or how it might affect the child. A partial birth abortion ban helps to protect a child from mutilation and pain when the truth of how it is done has not been revealed to the mother.

Another issue that is addressed in the Bible that has become associated with abortion is murder. God clearly says that it is wrong to murder another person. God says that He knows the little ones in the womb before they are ever born. A mother knows the child before he or she is ever born as well. She can listen to the heartbeat and feel the movements inside of her long before the little one is born. A partial birth abortion ban has given many Christians some hope that this step will help to protect those who have no say. "And again, I will put my trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me" (Hebrews 2:13).

Any mother that has doubts because of her situation on whether to have her child or to have abortion should research how the procedures are done and should weigh her decision against God's word. Any Christian organization will usually be more than happy to help a woman who is in this type of situation. There are many couples who can not have children of their own that would love to adopt a child. For those who have already gone through an abortion, God offers forgiveness and love to them.
