If Abortion Isn't Murder, Then Your God is Dead

Politics. Religion. Homosexuality. Abortion. Of the countless topics that inspire the most polarized, intensely heated dialogue amongst Americans, the issue of abortion is arguably the most divisive. The medical procedure of terminating pregnancies in the United States has been so hotly debated, it has even led to the deaths of abortion doctors, property damage due to bombings, and imprisonment of advocates on both sides of this issue. Yes, from its inception, abortion has been one of the defining issues in American politics, religion, and pop culture.
Those who take time to read this post may probably know someone who may have had an abortion or may even had the procedure done themselves. Up front, I wish to make my disposition clear concerning abortion- I personally am convinced that abortion of unborn babies is equal to the murder of an adult. There's absolutely no difference whatsoever.
What the readers of this post think about abortion goes to the heart of their deeply-held religious beliefs (if, indeed, they hold any) and in particular what their God thinks about abortion. If one considers him/herself a Bible-believing Christian, they cannot endorse abortion as a valid method of dealing with pregnancies, wanted or not. The key to that is "Bible-believing."
I am aware that some professing Christians do not find abortion deplorable and outright wicked and those kinds of Christians are probably the main ailment of the Christain church in the United States.
Abortion has become so monolithic an institution primarliy because Americans have accepted the rhetoric of many in the medical community that the unborn does not truly qualify for the title of "personhood." Perhaps readers should be reminded that the Nazi-perpetrated slaughter of the Jews across Europe was not resisted en masse by citizens of Europe in large part because they accepted Nazi propaganda that the Jews were not "fully human."
It's easy to kill that which isn't human.
Even by many hardened criminals, convicted of some of the most violent acts imaginable find harm to children absolutely unacceptable and a line that they won't even cross. Children and babies are the most defenseless of our society and are certainly worthy to be protected and provided for. Obviously, there are those who do not agree.
Every society that does not protect its most defenseless citizens is doomed to fall, doomed to be destroyed by its own lust for blood. Abortion can only exist in a nation wherein its citizens do not have a right perception of God. If God is worthy to be called" God," then He must be just and must love life. If this is true and if anyone claims to worship such a God and does not oppose abortion then that person's devotion is a sham and his "God" is a sadistic figment of imagination.
Think about it, what God deserves to be worshipped who does not love his own creation? Even more, what person can be trusted to the greatest degree whho does not cherish human lufe, one who fudges with vocabulary determining that an unborn baby is a "fetus," a mere mass of tissue that doesn't classify as a human being. Such thinking smacks of the nonsense that originally was present in the Constitution of the United States that classiffied Blacks as "three-fifths" human. It was such thinking that helped make slavery flourish throughout Western Civilization and that made men bend their god to their ideology rather than conform their ideology to the dictates of their god.
Christian, your god is dead if abortion is not murder and furthermore, you are no different from the adherents to the ideologies of Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and Pot. They didn't cherish human life because for them, God was nonexistent and if human opinion, majority-rule, and human government are the final arbitrators of the value of human life, then we are destined for the same dark, godless future and it will be Christians who will make it possible.
