For some reason I have not thought about it lately. Maybe because I attend a Christian school where a debate over something such as this rarely happens because we all share the same view. Or maybe because it is such a horrible thing, that I choose not to dwell on it too long. But it is something that I truly hate, and I was once again reminded of it this last Sunday in church. Every time I think of the millions of babies who have lost their lives by the act of abortion, my heart starts to ache. More lives have been lost to abortion since the Roe v. Wade decision than all of the casualties of every American war combined. And my heart hurts because it is legal, these precious lives have no say in the matter, and it is such an example of how sin has tainted society's value of human life. I had an article sent to me from Albert Mohler's website (albertmohler.com) that presented the abortion issue so clearly, and I have decided to share parts of it with you:

"You just try for a few moments - and it is our responsibility to try - to get into that world and to try to think abortion through. You will come to understand that abortion makes sense to people who think that our existence is primarily about our rights - that we are human beings who stand on our own two feet, that we are autonomous human beings, that we are answerable to no one, that we are our own independent moral agents, and that we have the right to decide who will live and who will die.
In the world of the Bible, that is simply unthinkable. In a world that begins with the sovereignty of God, that is absolutely unimaginable. In a world that is a Scripture, Gospel-world, the question is - how can we be found faithful and reflect the glory of God in every dimension of our lives?
We come to understand that we fall short of the glory of God, but we understand that we were made for the glory of God. To turn that on its head and decide that we ourselves will become the judge of who will live and who shall die - that is unthinkable." - Albert Mohler
