They’re Babies!

I want to scream out from the depths of my soul – It’s wrong!  It’s Evil!  It shouldn’t be done!

Slaves had families and feelings – they were human!

Babies in the womb also have families and can feel pain – they are human!

Slaves were stolen from their homes!

Babies are killed in their mother’s wombs!

We turned away and pretended that slavery wasn’t as horrible as it was.

We also turn away today and pretend that abortion is not as horrible as it is.

Slaves were sold as property!

Baby body parts are sold as property!

We created laws that allowed for slaves to be sold legally.

We’ve also created laws for babies to be killed legally.

We didn’t want to think about the brutality of slavery.

We don’t want to think about the brutality of abortion.

We knew slavery was wrong, yet we condoned it for years.

We know abortion is wrong, yet we’ve condoned it for years.

People thought there were other things with a higher priority than slavery.

People think there are other things with a higher priority than abortion.

It took years of perseverance and sacrifice to cause slavery to be abolished.

It’s taking years of perseverance and sacrifice, but abortions are still happening.

We held people in chains in the marketplace and auctioned them off to the highest bidder.

We’ve seen and heard their heartbeats and watched as they suck their thumbs in the womb, yet we still kill them.

We said slaves were property, not human.

We say that fetuses are a clump of cells, not human.

They abolished slavery in England and we finally abolished it in the United States.

The United States allows abortion later in pregnancy than the majority of countries in the world.

We allowed slaves to be murdered!

We allow innocent babies in the womb to be murdered!

Lord, Please allow our Eyes to be opened!  Let us do what is right!
