I just picked up my mail today; the only bit was a flyer with the front sporting a pair of pink boxing gloves with the words:
What does her role as Planned Parenthood of California’s
chief lawyer tell you about how Maggy Krell will represent us?
Well, I don’t
need to read the rest. She is interested in preserving the right to kill little
boys and girls who are not yet born. The boxing gloves may be pink but they are
not girlish, womanish, or sweet and nice. They should be blood red.
Inside it
mentions that Krell is fighting for rights including the rights of children—but
both scientifically and biblically unborn babies are children, little human
beings who deserve the right to live.
Jesus took
the little children to himself and blessed them. Life is the beautiful gift
that God gives to everyone—to take it from the innocent is a horrific act.
While Detrich
Bonhoeffer, one of the Confessing Martyrs during the Nazi time in Germany, in
his book Ethics wrote that although at times it my be the community that
bears the blame for abortion, when a mother is in great need, it is still
murder. He wrote:
Marriage involves acknowledgement of the right of life that
is to come into being, a right which is not subject to the disposal of the
married couple. Unless this right is acknowledged as a matter of principle,
marriage ceases to be marriage and becomes a mere liaison. Acknowledgement of
this right means making way for the free creative power of God which can cause
new life to proceed from this marriage according to his will.
And of
course, this also applies to those who bring about life outside of marriage.
The child is still God’s creation. We should pray that neither our nor other’s
hearts be hardened by the murder of children. We should pray for but not vote
for Maggy Krell.
