A regular columnist for our local newspaper wrote that pro-life advocates won't ultimately prevail, but are just not able to "let go", to "allow freedom of choice, thus ending the new form of slavery it has imposed on the bodies of women."
What a remarkably denigrating and disturbing view of motherhood... Slaves?! It ranks up there (or should I say down there) with a view of unborn children I recently heard described as a “parasites”, selfishly feeding off of their mother while contributing nothing. I would like to ask that individual “Who’s next? Parasite occupants in nursing homes and mental institutions?”
Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were blessed with the God-given mandate to “Be fruitful and multiply; (to) fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). This exalted and blessed Biblical view of motherhood was reinforced by Adam who “called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living” (Genesis 3:20).
Actually, the “new form of slavery” has been imposed on unborn children who are treated as a thing, less than human. That’s how slave holders regarded their slaves. Thankfully, that terrible institution was abolished. Similarly, there’s coming a day when the slaughter of children worldwide really will end when the Lord Jesus Christ returns, not as an infant, but as Judge. It will be a Day of vindication for those who trusted Him as Savior and followed Him as their Lord. Then will come the new heavens and new earth where, “there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3).
Some don’t believe this and scoff: “‘Where is the promise of His coming?” But, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise… but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:4-9).
