These pro-death zealots attempting to rationalize the taking of the most innocent human life is beyond despicable.
Embryos and unviable fetuses aren't human beings or children, it's the women that are pregnant who are the human beings and their needs come first. You shouldn't have the right to force them to remain pregnant. It's you who is pro-death due to your indifference to poverty and the many economic sanctions that the US government is now imposing on developing countries around the world. Actual children are being victimized by US foreign policy:
Do you care? NO. You don't give a shit. So you're not pro-life, you're the one who is pro-death. Lift the economic sanctions, and stop injuring, starving, ruining, and murdering the children of these developing countries. Stand against American imperialism or you're just a hypocrite devil, pretending to be "pro-life". There are hundreds of thousands of children in America that go to bed hungry and are poor and homeless, living in trailer parks, slums, in cars, in RVs, and even in tents across America. Stop defunding the infrastructure and programs that are in place to assist the poor providing them with vital services, like food, housing, healthcare, education, vocational-job training..etc.
You "pro-life" conservatives are so concerned and broken for the lives of embryos and fetuses, "children" in other people's wombs. Where is your concern and brokenness for the actual children that are now suffering outside of the womb? I as a social case manager and advocate for the poor and homeless here in NYC, I'm constantly fighting Republican council members who want nothing more than to defund every single social program. They refuse to house the homeless, even when the city has literally millions of vacant sq-footage in the form of unused buildings and properties. We can build infrastructure, house the homeless, provide drug rehab programs, and do everything that is needed to get people back on their feet. These Republican conservatives are constantly trying to defund and derail every single piece of infrastructure and social program that meets the needs of the poor. These right-wing Republican Evangelicals are not pro-life, they're pro-death.
The Salvation Army, and the Christian Missions here in NYC, are not providing the services and resources the poor need, despite of receiving plenty of money from the city. More, many of these religious organizations require the recipients of their aid to essentially become Christians. They have to join an 8-month "Christian Discipleship Program" before they get access to the housing unit, with a bunch of absurd requirements. Really? This family of five:
Has to attend church daily, and a battery of bible study courses and other events, in order to get a city-paid bunk bed, some food, and perhaps maybe in the future a room in a filthy motel managed by the Christian mission. Really? That's "helping" the poor? That's your "pro-life" solution? Jesus says:
Mat 25:40-46 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (41) Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (42) For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: (43) I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. (44) Then shall they also answer him, saying, Master, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? (45) Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. (46) And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life everlasting.
Isa 58:6-8 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (7) Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (8) Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the honor of Yahweh shall be thy rear guard.
TO YOUR HOUSE.
That is the high standard of the God of the Bible. YOUR HOUSE. Open the door and let them in. Do you want to reign with Christ? Do you want to inherit eternal life in YHWH's Kingdom? The standard is YOUR HOUSE. Nothing less than EVERYTHING. CARRY YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME! You are pro-life? Really? You have so much concern for life in wombs, but how about life outside of the womb? The first Christians under the tutelage of the twelve apostles lived this way:
Act 2:42-47 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (43) And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. (44) And all that believed were together, and had all things common; (45) And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (46) And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, (47) Praising Elohim, and having favour with all the people. And our Sovereign added to the assembly daily such as should be saved.
Act 4:32-37 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. (33) And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Master Yahshua: and great grace was upon them all. (34) Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, (35) And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. (36) And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabah, which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, (37) Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Those were the TRUE CHRISTIANS. They were genuinely PRO-LIFE, manifesting the presence of GOD with GREAT POWER AND GREAT GRACE. They gave it ALL because that's the price of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. You have to DIE WITH CHRIST. HATE YOUR LIFE IN THIS WORLD AND GIVE JESUS EVERYTHING. Nothing less than EVERYTHING. That's what it means to be a disciple and governor in training. One who will reign with Christ. Jesus promised His disciples:
Rev 3:21-22 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the assemblies.
If you're a disciple of Jesus Christ you will reign over the nations from heaven. The cost of discipleship is EVERYTHING. You care so much for the life of embryos and fetuses, how about life outside of the womb, do you care about the homeless children in America, how about the children right now suffering due to America's economic sanctions? Do you care about that? NO NO NO YOU DON'T. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY, IT'S WHAT YOU DO THAT MATTERS. What you do.
