Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”
Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.
A British woman who openly told a newspaper that she exercised her “right” to have an abortion to end her baby’s life so she could be on the television show “Big Brother” is now being attacked on social media for her decision.
Josie Cunningham, 23, told London’s Sunday Mirror that she’s finally on the road to becoming famous and that she wasn’t going to ruin it by having a baby.
“An abortion will further my career. This time next year I won’t have a baby. Instead, I’ll be famous, driving a bright pink Range Rover and buying a big house. Nothing will get in my way,” Cunningham said.
Now, many pro-abortion advocates are attacking the woman for exercising the “right” they repeatedly say is perfectly fine for any woman to “choose”. Pro-abortion advocates are posting online that Cunningham should be banned from the show because of her choice, that she is a “new low for humanity” and some have even advocated for her to be sterilized.
A pro-abortion advocate in the Guardian newspaper wrote a piece defending the woman’s decision, however, saying that anyone who supports abortion but doesn’t support this woman is opening the door to stopping other women from having abortions.
“What makes the “debate” around Josie Cunningham so disturbing is that it refuses to even acknowledge the idea that access to abortion is a basic human right, or that women are entitled to choose what they do with their own bodies,” Martin Robbins wrote. “If we fail to defend Cunningham, then we accept that only those women who are ‘deserving’ enough should be allowed to have an abortion. And if we accept that, then it’s only a matter of time before others are deemed undeserving as well.”
Pro-life advocates are pointing out that this situation is simply the logical progression of those who claim ending a baby’s life via abortion is a “human right.” They point out that under the vocalized morality of those who support abortion, Cunningham has done absolutely nothing wrong or deserving of scorn.
