 Does life start at conception?

Psalms 139:12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Ps 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; you covered me in my mother's womb.

Ps 139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

Ps 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Ps 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.(NKJ)

The living bible puts it this way.

Psalms 139:13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-- and how well I know it.

15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.  (NLT)

MARY  VISITS ELIZABETH

Luke 1:39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,

41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. (NKJ)

THESE TWO CHILDREN WERE NAMED BY GOD BEFORE THEY WERE BORN.

God knows us before we are born.

Genesis 25:21 Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

23 And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger."

24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. (NKJ)

At the time now we are living in here in America there is a conservancy over abortion rights.  The world uses it as birth control but God calls it killing or in another word murder.  A baby isn’t a thing, it is a living being, it is so sad that people go against God’s word.

I READ A COMMENT BY PAT ROBERTSON: THE BIBLE IS NOT MORE SPECIFIC ON ABORTION BECAUSE SUCH PRACTICES WERE UNTHINKABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD. WOMEN PRAYED NOT TO BE BARREN.

Interesting thoughts

Even animals do everything to protect their young.

Most of the people favoring abortion have already been born. 

Some pro abortionist say a baby in the womb is not a person but they don't consider the baby has a different DNA than the mother.

7 Numbers That Clearly Reveal The Direction That America Has Chosen

By Michael Snyder/End of the American Dream May 03 2024

Over the past several decades, America's culture has been transformed at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking. When I was growing up, I was convinced that I believed in a shared set of national values that most other Americans also embraced. But in our day and age those values have been discarded and now people that see the world the way that I do are clearly not in the majority any longer.

I know that a lot of people out there may not want to hear that our national values have been turned upside down, but it is the truth. Those that sought to "fundamentally transform" this country have succeeded, and at this point "American values" are vastly different from the "American values" that I cherished as a young boy. The following are 7 numbers that clearly reveal the direction that America has chosen...

#1 There is more political chaos in our nation than there has ever been in my entire lifetime, and more than 40 percent of U.S. voters actually believe that a "second civil war" is likely within the next five years...

More than four-in-ten US voters say the country is likely to get ripped apart in a second civil war within five years, a shocking new survey reveals.

The Rasmussen Reports poll shows that 41 percent eye a civil conflict, compared to 49 percent who say it's not likely. Another 10 percent said they were not sure.

That amounts to 106 million US adults saying civil war is on the horizon.

The survey comes against a backdrop of mounting violence on US college campuses, where pro-Palestine protestors clash with law enforcers, conservatives, some Jewish students and others.

#2 According to a recent Gallup survey, only 36 percent of Americans approve of Israel's military campaign in Gaza...

After narrowly backing Israel's military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. Fifty-five percent currently disapprove of Israel's actions, while 36% approve.

The latest results are from a March 1-20 survey. The Israel-Hamas war has continued for five months and has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians and over 1,000 Israelis. Major parts of Gaza have been destroyed, complicating efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians still living there. The United Nations and international community, including the Biden administration, have called for a cease-fire, but the two warring sides have been unable to agree.

#3 65 percent of Americans do not approve of the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade...

About two-thirds (65%) oppose the 2022 Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and 34% approve, numbers that have remained effectively unchanged in CNN's polling across the nearly two years since the ruling. Those who strongly disapprove of the decision continue to outnumber those who strongly approve by a more than 2-to-1 margin.

A 69% majority who disapprove of overturning Roe, including 82% of those who strongly disapprove, say that federal politicians should work to pass laws ensuring national abortion access. Those who support the ruling largely say federal politicians shouldn't take action on the issue: 59% say laws on abortion should be left up to the states, with 29% in favor of further restrictions to abortion access nationwide. New national restrictions are supported by just about one-quarter of Republicans, White Evangelical Christians and those who describe themselves as conservative.

#4 More than 20 percent of Generation Z adults (22.3 percent to be specific) now identify as LGBTQ+...

Overall, each younger generation is about twice as likely as the generation that preceded it to identify as LGBTQ+. More than one in five Gen Z adults, ranging in age from 18 to 26 in 2023, identify as LGBTQ+, as do nearly one in 10 millennials (aged 27 to 42). The percentage drops to less than 5% of Generation X, 2% of baby boomers and 1% of the Silent Generation.

Bisexuality is the most common LGBTQ+ status among Generation Z, millennials and Generation X. Fifteen percent of all Generation Z adults -- representing more than two-thirds of those with an LGBTQ+ identification -- are bisexual.

#5 According to the Daily Mail, the number of transgender troops in the U.S. Army has doubled since 2020...

The Pentagon has spent more than $26million treating transgender troops since 2020, official records show.

The number of US army staff with gender dysphoria has doubled in that time -- from around 1,800 to 3,700, according to DoD data seen by DailyMail.com.

In the past three years, $17.5m in taxpayer money was spent on psychotherapy for trans service people and $1.5m went towards hormone drugs.

A further $7.6m funded gender-affirming surgeries, including facial tweaks to make a recruit more masculine or feminine, and the removal or creation of breasts and genitals.

#6 By a vote of 692 to 51, the United Methodist Church has voted to approve LGBTQ clergy and same sex weddings in their churches...

The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.

Delegates overwhelmingly approved the changes, 692 to 51, during the United Methodist Church's General Conference.

The meeting is taking place this week in Charlotte, N.C. after the pandemic delayed the 2020 General Conference where these decisions had been slated to take place.

#7 Only 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, and the birth rate is now at the lowest level ever recorded...

The birth rate in the US has declined to a new low, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The figures show that fewer than 3.6 million babies were born in the US last year, the lowest amount since 1979 and equating to the lowest fertility rate EVER recorded.

The CDC analysed the 2023 data and found that the birth rate is down 2 percent on the previous year.

If you go back to 1960, the average U.S. woman gave birth to 3.65 children during her lifetime.

Today, that number has fallen all the way down to 1.6.

But we need a birth rate of at least 2.1 just to keep replacing ourselves.

If we didn't have so much immigration going on, our population would be steadily falling.

In my latest book entitled "Chaos", I have an entire chapter about the population collapse that is happening in wealthy nations all over the industrialized world.

It is often said that children are the future of our society, but we have greatly devalued marriage and parenthood.

Meanwhile, birth rates are still very high in many nations in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Given enough time, those that are willing to multiply would become increasingly powerful and those that are not willing to multiply would become less powerful.

But the fact that we aren't reproducing ourselves is just one of the existential problems that we are facing.

At this point we live in an upside down society that has rejected the values that this nation was founded upon.

If we stay on this path, there isn't going to be a future for America, and that is the truth.

Life and Death

By Tom Gilbreath

Abortion is a crucial topic, but also difficult and uncomfortable. The word itself feels kind of sickening. Most of those who have had abortions remember it as a heart wrenching decision. For many, the memory brings back feelings of trauma that are, either vaguely or explicitly, centered on concerns that they participated in the taking of a human life.

If that’s you, please don’t let this article renew an old pain. Jesus forgives, and He forgives completely. In Him, you can find what He called in Matthew 11:29, “rest for your souls.”

Nevertheless, it’s important that we see abortion as a moral issue. Our society has made it about politics, but it’s really about right and wrong. The horrifying truth is that abortion kills human life. It’s horrifying because there have been more than 63 million abortions in the United States since Roe v Wade in 1973. Think about America’s largest cities — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and the rest. Add up the population of the 20 largest cities in the US, and you’re still nowhere near the number of abortions since ’73. To get close to that number, you have to add up all the people in those great citiesthen double the number.

As a nation, that’s a lot of blood on our hands.

Abortion advocates often refer to it as a choice. But all decisions are choices — including moral decisions. Some use the term, “reproductive rights.” But this is not a general discussion of birth control. We’re talking specifically about abortion — a choice to impose violent death on another human being.

Is the fetus really a human being? Obviously, some kind of new entity comes into existence at conception. This new entity is dependent on the mother, but it is not a part of her. It’s not like her appendix or her thumb. The average adult human body contains 37 trillion cells. Practically all of them carry the unique DNA of that individual. But this new entity has its own cells, each with its own DNA — different from the mother. The mother carries the child, but the child is not part of the mother’s body. Five to six weeks after conception, it has its own beating heart.

Is the entity created at conception human? If you don’t think so, then ask yourself, “What species is it?” Have you ever heard anyone propose that the unborn human is any species other than human? People have different stages of development such as infancy and adolescence. But the infant and the adolescent are not less human because of the stage of their development. Neither is the fetus less than human.

Is the fetus alive? Its cells replicate. It metabolizes. Who can seriously argue that the entity in the womb is not human or not alive? It is clearly both.

Tony Dungy was a Super Bowl winning NFL coach and today serves as an analyst for NBC Sports. He and his wife adopted 8 children. “When I look at those kids,” he said, “I don't see 8 choices, I'm sorry. Those are 8 lives.”

Over and over the Bible refers to the unborn as individuals known and loved by God. Psalms 139:13-14 (ESV) says, “You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Isaiah 44:24 says that God, “…formed you from the womb.” Who did He form? Someone real. You!

Don’t get caught up in the politics of abortion. Treat everyone with love and respect. That includes abortion advocates, but it also includes humans still in the womb.
