The Infant in My Womb Leaped for Joy (2007)
The Infant in My Womb Leaped for Joy
Unborn children are routinely dehumanized by the abortion industry. The author of a widely-used textbook on abortion techniques describes pregnancy as a "parasitic illness." A well-known columnist writes: "A goldfish resembles a human being more than an embryo does." One author has described the unborn human being as "protoplasmic rubbish," a "gobbet of meat."
In all these ways we are being urged to stop seeing human life as God sees it. From the moment of our conception, God does not see us superficially as a microscopic, unformed cell. In every child, born or unborn, God sees the individual he created to love, and be loved by, for all eternity.
