Heartbreaking.

4,000 babies are aborted everyday.
That means 56,000 babies are aborted each year.
In America.
95% of the abortions are for convenience. Selfish reasons. There is always adoption.
So that means 5% of the abortions are done for medical reasons.

And just listen to this...
when the Supreme Court declared most existing state abortion laws unconstitutional, This decision made it legal to have abortions in the 1st 3 months of pregnancy and put limits on what restrictions could be passed on abortions in later stages of pregnancy..

40,000,000 babies aborted since 1973.
Most likely that number includes:
1 future President of the United States
100 Future Congressmen / Congresswomen
10 Governors
No telling how many pastors and missionaries…

I know that a lot of those abortions are due to teenagers getting pregnant and they can't handle the baby or some reason like that. Just another great reason to
wait to have sex before marriage. But that is another topic..

There is always adoption. You can choose everyone knowing about you getting pregnant and some embarrassment, and you can bring a new life into the world. Or you can. live with that guilt your whole life. The guilt of murdering an innocent life. A life that hasn't had a chance to take it's first breath.

And each baby had a future. A purpose. No one would be created if God never meant for them to be. God created every person with a purpose and he created each person
beautifully.

Pastor Ricky told us all those statistics last night at youth. I cried. God bless every woman and every teenager who has given up a part of their life to have a reason to live. He's given us all the opportunity and the choice to live for Him and accept Jesus Christ as their savior. He sent His only son to earth for us. He gave His only son's life so we all can have that option to make to live with Him forever. To live for Him. And you know what's heartbreaking? All those innocent babies never had the chance to experience the feeling of His love.
They never got the chance to experience the comprehension of knowing what He did for us. They never got the chance to live on this earth fighting for what they would have the option to believe in.



I look at it like this. God would have never created a child if He never had a future for it. There is no such thing as an "accident" baby. God brought each one of His children into this world for a reason. If anything to share the Word and bring others to Him. If that's not enough of a purpose I don't know what is.
But the point is, each child was created with a complex beauty not understandable for us humans. Each child was created. Regardless of how long the life span of the baby was, it still had a reason to be created. Each day 4,000 of those children were thieved of that life that God gave to them. They were meant to live.
Every single creation God has brought to us has a purpose. No matter how dismal we may think the purpose is, it's still there.


And that is heartbreaking.
