Human life is sacred

Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. This week marks the 35^th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision.

In 1973 the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion. Since then approximately 50 million unborn children have been destroyed (or more accurately murdered). All it takes for this uncivilized procedure of taking an unborn baby’s life is the decision of the mother to terminate it. Due to economic pressures, the stress of living, or even the matter of inconvenience, an unborn child’s life can be “legally” ended. It may sound like a clean and simple solution except for the consequences that the mother suffers. Research studies have shown the devastating affect upon the mind, body, and spirit of the mother.

Many mothers are living with the guilt of an abortion. We must be reminded of God’s love and grace available for even these situations.

Our constitution guarantees our inalienable rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The Bible specifically explains that humans are created in the image of God. It is this last statement which makes and defines that human life is sacred.
