The reversal of Roe v. Wade is definitely something to celebrate. This decision gives states control over the laws of abortion. While many states will outright ban abortion, in reality most will not. That means that the battle has only begun. We cannot stop praying and reaching out and doing what we can to save the unborn. The unborn are people made in the image of God. To allow them to be aborted goes against the commandment that you shall not murder. Let me say it in plain language: ABORTION IS MURDER.

 

God commands us to do what we can to rescue those who are facing death.

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. (Proverbs 24:11, ESV)

Why? Because we hold that human life is precious and valuable, no matter their economic status and no matter their physical or mental capabilities and no matter any other category you want to throw out there. Just because someone has a handicap of some sort does not make them any less valuable. In actuality, we all have handicaps of various sorts. Does one handicap make someone less valuable than another person? In the eyes of God, every human, no matter what, is valuable and their life is to be celebrated.

 

God finds every human so valuable that He sacrificed His one and only Son to save humanity from their sin. No greater gift could have been given. This is not only the ultimate showing of love, this also demonstrates how much a human life is worth in the eyes of God. And if every human life has worth in God’s eyes, they should have worth in our eyes. So we continue to press the battle until abortion is merely a sad part of the past. But not only do we battle the negative of abortion, we then celebrate the positive of the preciousness of life.
