“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 NIV (emphasis mine)

Over the next few months leading up to the election, you may notice an increase in ads for “reproductive rights”. “Reproductive rights” is an euphemism for abortion. There are many euphemisms for abortion including women’s rights, women’s healthcare, reproductive choice, pro-choice, and others.
Using these euphemisms, abortion advocates redirect the conversation away from the child and to the child’s mother—or, as they prefer to say, “the woman.”
But the fact is, we’re really talking about abortion, which is the taking of a human life while in the mother’s womb. Abortion rights activists claim the unborn fetus is not a baby, but we all know that it is a baby and the “person with a capacity for pregnancy” is the mother.
They can change the language all they want, but it doesn’t change the reality.
A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant.
Over time, the use of euphemisms can, and have, changed society’s view on abortion. It is a deception that seeks to hide the reality of murdering a child and cloaks that murder in a positive light.
It isn’t the worst thing in the world to have a baby you didn’t plan on. The worst thing in the world is to kill that baby.
But don’t expect pro-abortion activists to fight for the right to kill your baby. That sounds too harsh. And it is.
These linguistic sleights of hand work. Abortion advocates themselves have been and remain deceived—seduced even—by these very euphemisms. They sincerely believe the moral claims they assume in this way of speaking.
“Those responsible for changing the language have changed the way people think and believe and act.” Trent Hunter, Aborion or Feticide: Words Matter (I encourage you to read this excellent article.)
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20 NIV
“For You created my innermost parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made;” Psalm 139:13-14 NIV
So as you watch TV or scroll social media, take note of the deception being used to mislead the public into supporting the murder of babies in the mother’s womb. Do not be deceived by euphemisms.

Our sister in Christ, Eileen, says she has lost all hope. I am very concerned about her.
She says, “Yes I have prayed, I have dropped to my knees, I have cried myself to sleep and yet nothing has changed. I have followed Christ all my life and yet all of this has come about for me and my daughters.” Continued HERE.
Please pray for her and stand in the gap for her. She is overwhelmed right now and desperately needs our support, encouragement, and prayers.

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:12-14 NLT

“See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,
and he rules with a mighty arm.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.” Isaiah 40:10-11 NIV (emphasis mine)

Because my post today on Real Christian Women was written in my excitement for the Summer Olympics, I feel the need to comment on last night’s opening ceremonies. What has happened to our world?
Scenes from the Opening Ceremony:
I could share more, but this should suffice.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3 NIV (emphasis mine)
I am sad for all the young people who have worked so hard to become an Olympic champion. Now they are forced to be part of an Anti-Christian event or give up their dream. Pray for them.
In His Love, Cindy
