Abortion is Murder
By Pastor Don Elmore

Abortion is the murder of the innocent. Who is the murderer (planned parenthood, the abortionist, the mother)? And who is the victim (the unborn baby)? Abortion was for many centuries illegal in most countries, including the United States. It didn’t become legal nationally until 1973. Since then, over 70,000,000 babies have been murdered. The majority of them have been blacks, followed by whites, then Hispanics. Both political parties have on their platforms that abortion is acceptable. They differ on how long the baby has been in the womb before the abortion is allowed to be performed:
1) Republicans usually say that abortions can be done only during the first trimester. Many also add that it must be before the baby’s heart begins beating; that would be before six weeks.
2) Democrats say that abortions can be done in the second trimester too, or
3) Democrats also, say that abortions can be done in the third trimester, with a few radicals adding that the newly born baby can be murdered after birth if the abortion fails, and the abortionist and the mother agree.
But when does life begin? It begins at conception, when the egg is fertilized. The baby is alive and very quickly begins to grow and develop until it comes out of the mother’s womb after about nine months.
Why was abortion illegal for so many years? It is because it is unjust "to shed innocent blood” (Proverbs 6:17). The women are wrong when they say, “My body, my choice,”—for the baby is not her body. The pre-born baby is inside her body. The baby, from the time it is conceived, is half the father’s and half the mother’s. That is the main purpose of a marriage; to produce offspring. The woman is equipped to supply the nourishment, oxygen, and protection and also eliminates the excrements of the baby. Not even the baby’s blood is hers. So, what right does she have to say it is her choice to murder the unborn baby that is in her womb? Many do it for their own selfish reasons—like convenience, financial reasons, or that they will have to quit school or work if they don’t abort. But another solution would be for the mother to give birth to her child, and then put it up for adoption which many people are hoping for. But the abortion industry is big business and if abortion wasn’t legal—their business would suffer greatly or have to close.
Planned Parenthood says that abortion is discussed with the abortionist and the pregnant woman. The mothers are given the power of choice of whether the unborn baby lives or dies. But the abortionist regularly never talks with his patient. It is extremely rare that any abortion doctor discusses with the mother about the risks or alternatives to abortion.
The first trimester is when most of the abortions occur. How the abortion is done in these first thirteen weeks is very seldom discussed. Ultrasound is in every abortion clinic and its purpose is to determine how long the baby has been in the uterus. That determines how much the abortion clinic can charge for the abortion. The doctor inserts in the woman’s uterus a metal dilation rod. After dilation, he will insert a loop-shaped steel knife which cuts the baby’s body into pieces and cuts the placenta from the uterine wall. The baby’s detached parts are sucked out of the mother’s body and put in a dish like a baking dish where the body is reassembled. Every part of the baby must be eliminated from the mother, or there is a great chance the mother will die. The dead, small body is put in a glass jar which is called the POC, i.e. Products of Conception; but it is really Parts of Children.
During the second and third trimester abortions, since the baby is now too big, they have to use an instrument called a forceps which is used to dismember the body of the baby. With the forceps, the abortionists twist the limbs and body parts out of the womb, followed by the crushing of the skull and its removal. The abortionist will place the body parts to the side and then check to see if he/she got every part of the baby out. If he/she failed to get all the body parts out, the “mother” will soon suffer from an infection which could cause her death. Once the abortion is completed, and all the baby’s parts are assembled, they are placed in a zip lock bag and then put in a freezer. The clinic will either grind them up and dispose of them or give them to a biohazard company. This company comes once a week,and they will burn the aborted babies that they collected. Some even use the aborted baby’s parts for other purposes.
Most of the abortionists who perform these surgeries are Jewish. It isn’t normal surgery. For the goal is to kill an innocent unborn child. The innocent baby suffers the ultimate penalty, but it had no voice in the choice to murder him or her. Not even the father is provided a choice. The cry of the pro-choice movement of women is, “My body, my choice”, but the baby is not the mother’s body. But even if it were, their argument fails when it comes to government mandated vaccinations. The hypocritical women refuse to then say, “My body, my choice.”
Jeremiah 1:5:
5) “The word of the LORD came to me, saying, ”Before I [the LORD God of Israel] formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
This verse says that before Jeremiah was born, God knew him. So, what would the LORD God say about Jeremiah if he was aborted in the womb. Wouldn’t He call it murder?
Exodus 21:22-23:
22) “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished accordingly as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23) And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life.
This says that the unborn baby is called the mother’s “fruit.” Why would any person, who caused the death of an unborn child, be penalized and fined for the harm that they caused when they killed the woman’s “fruit’? This implies the value of life to which the entire Bible testifies, is applicable to the life developing in the mother’s womb.
“And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life” (verse 23). This says that the killing of an unborn child is the same as murder. The penalty for murder is the taking of the life of the murderer.
There are many Christians who have been misled by Planned Parenthood. They can be forgiven for this sin of abortion by our king who took their place on the cross and was resurrected from the dead. Even King David, who God said was “a man after God's own heart” was forgiven for his plot to murder an elite soldier in his army so that he could take that man’s wife as his. It cost him the life of his child that he had with this woman as there are consequences of our sins. But he was forgiven of this murder.
May God have mercy on our souls.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
