From The Crucible (by Pastor Linda Pugsley)

If you are a champion of life, and can clearly understand it is the higher calling to allow an infant to live rather than to be aborted; and if you clearly understand the true “choice” that allowing a fetus to come to term naturally, be born into a family or be available for adoption actually trumps the personal and emotional comfort of the pregnant woman, then you’ll read on. If not, you’ll probably discontinue the blog.

I may be dead wrong, but I don’t think most women have abortions because they are cold-hearted executioners (the people performing the procedure must be!). No, I think it is because these girls and women are often misled, sometimes purposely, so they are unaware of the unique, special life growing within them. It is not a “blob of cells”; it is a human being! If left to develop in the womb, it is a real baby. It amazes me to no end that there is such a hue and cry over the clubbing of a baby seal to death, but no such outcry from those same people on the crushing of an infant’s skull in utero and a sucking out of its brains during a partial birth abortion!

If a woman actually saw pictures or videos of abortions and the resultant buckets of tiny baby bodies sitting in a lab awaiting “disposal”, I dare say they would make a vastly different “choice”. Some call that scare tactics…but when are facts and reality scare tactics?

Right now, this is where you come in. What can you do to assure that abortion remains RARE even if Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land? (Hmm-at 54 million and counting, I dare say it is far from rare! Let me repeat that number…since Roe v. Wade in the early 1970s…over 54 million American citizens have been killed while still in the womb!)

This will take work on your part. (At the mention of work, this is where the crowd leaves in most instances!) Anyway, some have a gift for doing all that is suggested here, others can do just a little part, but together we can make the turnaround needed. I will describe five avenues of action necessary…you take it from there.

1.      PRAYER–you better be a “prayer warrior” on this one! It will take God’s wisdom and power to make any changes regarding abortion and other sanctity of life issues.
2.      EDUCATION–truly know the issues regarding abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Don’t listen to the far right or the far left talking heads, or even the ones in the middle. You find out what is going on.

            √ Research the Roe v. Wade decision and the history leading up to it
            √ Research types of abortion and the statistics associated with it
            √ Find out your state’s “version” of what is allowed and when on the abortion spectrum
            √ Once educated, you can be a player and educate your friends
            √ Have meetings with your neighbors to tell them what you’ve learned
            √ Or you can be on the front lines with any of a number of right-to-life organizations
            √ Go where your gifts take you

Follow along on tomorrow’s blog for the rest of the avenues you can use to educate people on the value of saving the babies so they can have a shot at life. Forget about trying to close down the abortion clinics…if no one gets an abortion, they will close themselves down! Endure the fire...it's producing pure gold!
