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)

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.

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 cities… then
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.
