slaughter of the innocents

All is well in the ‘abortion industry’and it seems some politicians are ‘aiding and abetting’ …

50 plus years of liberal legal access to abortion has inflicted on our nation a mass slaughter of innocent, vulnerable, unborn babies. At the time of writing nearly 9 million unborn babies have so far been killed by abortion in Britain.

It is too easy to be numbed by such high numbers of dead children and simply look away. As the brutal Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin, once said: “The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.” Stalin was arguably an expert on this topic since his regime killed as many as 43 million people.  But God sees things very differently. To Him every single aborted baby is a unique, special individual, very much loved by Him. How God must grieve over the mass slaughter of the children and over the indifference of so much of His church to their desperate plight. The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) shows us that God wants us to be pro-active in helping those in need, not indifferent. At the end of that parable Jesus made it very clear that we must ‘go and do likewise.’
