Discounts for Death?

The destruction of innocent babies in America is big business.  If you don’t believe it, look at the discounts abortionists are offering to entice women to choose death.

 

Several abortion clinics offer coupons for ‘liking’ their Facebook pages.  One Florida abortionist offers a discount as high as $100.  A Pennsylvania abortion clinic advertises a $50 discount for “Out of State Residents.”  A Florida clinic gave a new meaning to the term ‘Black Friday’ with its “After Thanksgiving Savings” coupon.  That's right – the day after thanking God for His blessings, you can save a few bucks when you abort your baby.

 

Talk about the cheapening of life!  Offering discounts for the destruction of an innocent human baby exposes the callous business model of the abortion industry and its exploitation of women.

 

Scott Cox speaks of the Genesis account where the Bible says that God "formed man from the dust of the earth."  The same purposeful act of God that took place in the dust of the earth when Adam was formed takes place in the womb when God forms life there. You see, the unborn is not an accident; he or she is not the product of random chance; he or she is the product of God’s creative work.  Life is sacred … because God made it.  America’s forefathers vehemently acknowledge it in our Declaration of Independence when they said this truth is self-evident … that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights … to include Life!

 

Listen to these affirming passages from God’s Word … and then dare to say you weren’t created as a person:

 

· Jeremiah 1:4 states, “Before I [the Creator] formed you in the womb I knew you.”

 

· Psalm 100:3 reads, “Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”

 

· Psalm 139:13-16 says, “For You [the Lord God] created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from You when   I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.”

 

And there are other texts that could be sighted (Isaiah 43:1; 49:1; Exodus 33:12, 17; Isaiah 44:24; 45:3-4; Luke 1:11-15; John 1:6-8; Galatians 1:15-16; Psalm 22:10).

 

The point is: God created you as a PERSON.  Each time God created something in Genesis He followed it by saying, “ … and it was good.”
