YES

Every moment we take a breath we are loved into existence. Whether someone ever believes this or not, this fact never changes. Psalm 139 says that we are known before we are born. "Your eyes beheld my unformed substance." Since Roe vs Wade there have been 45 million abortions. Our Father in heaven saw each of these persons before they were murdered. He loved them into existence and our relativistic culture killed them. Pro choice has become another term for infanticide, and the Bride of Christ has to wake up and join in with the few who are trying to stop this. We must encourage the world with the good news that He has made us for Himself. Human life is unique.We are made in the image of God! How can this be? What a mystery! Our dignity comes first from being the only ones in His creation with a soul, the second is the Cross of Calvary where He Himself, after being knit together in the womb of Mary, suffered for our sins and defeated death. Our lives are not our own. We have misunderstood what freedom of choice really is. As soon as we think, "I can do whatever I want.", we become slaves to sin, our freedom becomes dark and ego driven. Choice lead us either to freedom in Christ, or slavery to sin. Eve proved this with her desire to be like God. Her 'free choice" brought about the suffering of the ages. Full of grace, Mother Mary reversed this for humanity with her YES to God's will. Mary's YES to God is our greatest weapon in the battle for the unborn! By grace, we must live this YES, and by grace we must teach this YES to a world gone mad. The new Eve said YES and gave birth to a little baby, the new Adam.
