“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV

The Mississippi law, which makes most abortions illegal after 15 weeks of pregnancy, is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.
Roe, is the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion and barred states from banning the procedure before fetal viability.
At stake is the state’s right to legislate abortion. Is abortion really a constitutionally protected right?
According to New York Times reporter, Carl Hulse, the Supreme Court is likely to release its decision in the case at the end of its term in June or early July. In the meantime, America is talking about women’s rights and the rights of the unborn child. At least we’re talking about it. And that’s my point. We should be talking about it.
At some point, we have to think about what abortion really is before we can honestly decide how we feel about it and judge its merits. We can’t shut out reality just because we have good reasons to help out a woman with an unwanted pregnancy.
In my view, whether it happens at 15 weeks gestation or 24 weeks, it’s still taking a human life. Does anyone argue with that? And that’s the real issue, isn’t it? Should it be legal to take a human life? Should it be a constitutional right?
We have to lay the cards on the table. We have to look at all the facts, not just the ones that support our opinion. We must carefully consider the evidence provided by both sides.
Although it is tragic if a woman dies from an illegal abortion, it is still important to look at some of the facts we may rather not face. Especially the fact that that is your baby growing inside of you. The following link describes the growth of your unborn child.
Psalm 139:13-16 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”
God was intentional in every aspect of our individual creation. He has a plan and purpose for every human life from conception.
Let’s think about this…

“Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume.” “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” Luke 7:44-47 NLT Read full chapter

“The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?” But the good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”

Cooking isn’t my favorite thing to do, and Thanksgiving was no exception. My adult children prepared most of the dishes. All I had to do was make the dressing.
Listen carefully. If there’s one item you don’t want to leave out of dressing, it’s the butter! Of course, that’s exactly what I did. It wasn’t just bad. It was ‘nobody could eat it’ bad! It was sort of like a giant hard crouton!
But it made me think. What other things in life do we leave out? Are they vitally important, yet we leave them out anyway? Do we leave out reading our Bible, going to Church, or prayer? These are life “ingredients” that will make or break our time in this world.
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7 NIV
Father, Help us to never leave out the most important things in this life: prayer, the Word, and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Create in us a pure heart that is pleasing to you and bind us together in love. And of course, help us to be thankful. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
