Hubby was YouTube surfing one evening and I was flitting about doing chores. When passing through the living room I found that he’d happened upon an interview with a woman who I assume came to the U.S. for sanctuary. As this piqued my curiosity, I paused. The little bit I heard went something like this:
“What do you think Americans take for granted the most?”
“The right to choose,” was her instant reply.
That being a catch phrase here I was curious where she was going with her answer.
“In the country where I come from we don’t have cookbooks. Even if we did we couldn’t afford the ingredients for the recipes. Americans choose where they go, where they work, where they live, and they take it for granted.”
There was no mention of abortion.
It’s been weeks since I heard that snippet of conversation and I haven’t been able to shake it.
Here’s something else I’ve been ruminating over: a letter someone wrote to an editor imploring people to “vote their God-given conscience” – that being, vote for candidates whose platform is abortion. Apparently, he doesn’t know God and I’ll prove it.
“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil; … therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; …” Deuteronomy 30:15,19
God set before us life and death and told us to choose life.
The pro-choice phrase has been hijacked by the left; the way they define it is actually pro-death and God tells us to have no part of it. To accept their definition is to set up in their camp and live in small perimeters. They don’t comprehend that true and pure freedom of choice is actually very vast and is synonymous with life, productivity, and creativity — even to the minute detail of having cookbooks and being able to afford the ingredients to make the recipes. This correct definition of pro-choice is for all people, those inside as well as outside of the womb. If the fine art of critical thinking still existed proponents of abortion might eventually conclude that if life in the womb is expendable then lives outside of the womb are expendable as well, including theirs.
God Himself said it: Choose life so that you and your descendants may live. With life comes blessing and good. This is the “God-given conscience”. The other “choice”, which kills the choice of one, will sink this nation as well as the lives of those who are upholding this deadly, evil philosophy.
Let’s, all of us in all nations, show wisdom by exercising our right to choose life so that we and our descendants will have good and blessed lives.
