What About Life?

     Our country was founded upon three basic rights for all Americans: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  What about life?  Today marks the 40th anniversary of the decision in the Roe vs Wade case.  As of last year, according to lifesitenews, 54, 559, 615 babies had been denied the right to life.  That number may be well over 55 million at this point.

     How sad it must make Him to see our nation murdering the innocent, and calling it choice.  And the double standard based upon the choice is so hypocritical.  If a woman wants her baby, and someone is responsible for killing it in her womb, they are tried for the murder of a human being.  And they should be!  But if she doesn't want the child, then it is not a human being, it is merely a group of cells.  Man sees tissue, while Psalm 139 tells us that God sees a person.
