De 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

When our first child was born, my wife and I looked at him in awe as we considered that in our care had been placed a real, live human being. This was both beautiful and a little scary. This real, live human being is a choice that my wife and I made when we married. We wanted children, and this was our first of three sons. Each birth brought an awesome beauty, joy, and an awesome responsibility.

Our society is cursed with what is called "Choice." Some call it "Pro-Choice." The Pro-Choice advocates have a mentality that implies the choice is for death, that a woman has the right to choose to kill her unborn child. There is little mention of her choice to birth the child and either adopt the child to good parents or to raise the child.  The dominant choice is for death.

In the book of law called Deuteronomy, Moses called heaven and earth against Israel. Life and death were both set before Israel, and Moses strongly urged Israel to "choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

On this 33^rd anniversary of the law springing from the case of Rose vs Wade in 1973, we find that over 43,000,000 unborn children have been murdered by doctors with the consent of their mothers, and sometimes their fathers, also. Legally, the father has little if anything to say about this "woman’s choice." Over 4,000 unborn children are murdered per day in America. This is a shame and disgrace to our country.  It is a testimony to the moral decline of America.

To women who are considering having an abortion we must say that they have as much right to choose life as to choose death. The scriptures tell us to choose life. Saturday I watched again the film entitled "The Silent Scream." This film shows an actual abortion being performed, and the film had such an effect upon the anesthesiologist, the nurse, and the doctor performing the abortion that they all turned away from abortion. This film should be viewed by every adult who has a desire to learn more about this shameful practice and to those who may be considering an abortion. It will change your mind if you have a conscience.

Life is a good choice. It will soothe our own conscience, and rightfully so. It will please God, and our nation may be saved from God’s judgment if we do, for God has set before us life and death; let us choose life.
