During an election night edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, Kimmel used what was meant to look like a gospel choir with a church background to promote abortion. Complete with a church organ, they sang these words,
“More unwanted children. The Supreme Court is to blame. We hope they always have a screaming baby on their plane.”
The audience erupted in applause and cheers. Is that an admission that abortion is killing your baby? Because before this I’d only heard pro-abortion advocates refer to abortion as “women’s healthcare” or “women’s rights”.
It bothers me that you never hear abortion advocates refer to abortion for what it really is: killing your baby. Why don’t people just say, “A woman should have the right to kill her unborn child”? Why do we cloak the word abortion in more acceptable terms like “health care”? Don’t we need to be honest about the facts to have an honest debate?
The Jimmy Kimmel skit was bold enough to admit that we’re talking about unborn children’s lives. Perhaps this is just a new in-your-face demand on behalf of the god of self.
No valid debate is possible until we acknowledge what abortion is and stop calling it healthcare or women’s rights. There’s a reason for this misnaming. The truth is too ugly to defend. Is a woman’s choice more important than protecting human life?
The difference between a fetus and any one of us is one of age, location, and level of dependence. When a mother aborts the process of fetal development, she is destroying a unique life. (GotQuestions.org)
Let’s have an honest discussion about abortion. Let us agree that a fetus is a human being and go from there.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Colossians 3:12-14 NIV

” … and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” Matthew 24:39-42 (emphasis mine) Read full chapter

Emerson said that if the stars came out only once a year, everybody would stay up all night to behold them. We have seen the stars so often that we don’t bother to look at them anymore. We have grown accustomed to our blessings.
As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, let us remember our many blessings and be thankful. I hope you will be inspired by these words from Warren Wiersbe:
One of the particular temptations of the maturing Christian is the danger of getting accustomed to our blessings. Like the world traveler who has been everywhere and seen everything, the maturing Christian is in danger of taking his blessings for granted and getting so accustomed to them that they fail to excite him as they once did.
The Israelites in the wilderness got accustomed to their blessings, and God had to chasten the people (see Num. 11). God had fed the nation with heavenly manna each morning, and yet the people were getting tired of it. “But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!” (v. 6).
Nothing but manna! They were experiencing a miracle of God’s provision every morning, yet they were no longer excited about it. Nothing but manna!
One of the evidences that we have grown accustomed to our blessings is this spirit of criticism and complaining. Instead of thanking God for what we have, we complain about it and tell him we wish we had something else. You can be sure that if God did give us what we asked for, we would eventually complain about that. The person who has gotten accustomed to his blessing can never be satisfied.
Another evidence of this malady is the idea that others have a better situation than we do. The Israelites remembered their diet in Egypt and longed to return to the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic. They were saying, “The people in Egypt are so much better off than we are!” Obviously, they had forgotten the slavery they had endured in Egypt and the terrible bondage from which God had delivered them. Slavery is a high price to pay for a change in diet.
From Warren Wiersbe, God Isn’t In a Hurry, (Baker Books; Grand Rapids, MI, 1994), pp. 77-78
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1NIV
“Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.” Psalm 95:2 NIV
