4 Thoughts on the Anniversary of the Dobbs Decision

This past weekend was the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs Decision when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. As a result the issue of abortion was returned to the states.

While abortions still occur, the number has decreased. Babies’ lives are being saved. So, from that standpoint we rejoice. And thank God.

While we could site statistics, surveys, and statement from leaders representing their point of view, our country continues, however, to be deeply divided over the abortion issue. Continue reading →

Three Responses To the Reversal of Roe

During the holidays we’re taking a break and reblogging the top 10 posts of 2022. This post from June 28 received the 8th most hits of the year.

ThePreachersWord

I was one of those who doubted that Roe v Wade would ever be overturned. Last Friday’s Supreme Court Decision by a 6-3 majority proved me wrong. Thankfully.

In the past 10 ten years, ThePreachersWord has published 19 posts regarding the sin of abortion. While we’ve been focused on the Biblical teaching regarding the sanctity of life and the grave moral wrong of abortion, it’s worth noting some key sentences from the majority opinion written by Justice Alito.

Who’s Deceived? Who’s Tortured?

“We need to shut them down,” cried Senator Elizabeth Warren. “You should not be able to torture a pregnant person like that.”

What? Has the liberal Senator from Massachusetts changed from Pro-Choice to Pro-Life? Is she now against abortion? And ready to shut down abortion clinics? Continue reading →

A Passage To Ponder: Isaiah 5:20-21

“Abortion is sacred. And the Supreme Court can’t take that away from us, screamed a headline in an article by Rae Guerra-Lorenzo defending the constitutional and personal right of a woman to abort her baby.

Rabbi Mara Nathan, the senior Rabbi at Temple Beth-El in San Antonio, addressed the issue in a sermon entitled “The Right to Choose is a Jewish Value.” She asserted that “Judaism has always been pro-choice” regarding the issue of abortion.

“Let’s be clear: The right to an abortion is sacred.” Tweeted John Fetterman, the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and a 2022 candidate for the United States Senate. Continue reading →

Who’s Really Barbaric and Inhumane?

Last week a new Texas law went into effect that Yahoo sports writer Shalise Manza Young, called, “barbaric.” “Inhumane.” “Nauseating.”

Furthermore, she urges the NCAA to deny Texas cities of Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio the right to host all men’s and women’s basketball tournaments and championship games for 2022 and all future years.

Failure to do so, Young argues, would show the NCAA and their leadership to be spineless and complicit  in supporting this “odious new law.”

If you’re following the news, you know what the outrage is about. If not, you’re wondering what terrible law the Texas legislature has enacted? Continue reading →

My Body. My Choice. Right Or Wrong?

Simone Biles, regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts in US history, has stirred controversy and criticism following the Tokyo Olympics.

A few days ago Biles requested her Instagram followers to share “unpopular opinions.” In the beginning, most were rather benign and non-controversial. Until one person posted, “abortion is wrong.”

Biles, who won silver and bronze medals in the Olympics, responded, “ “I already know this is going to start the biggest argument & may even lose followers BUT I’m very much pro-choice.” Continue reading →

The Sanctity of Human Life

In one of his final acts before leaving office, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation declaring Friday, January 22nd, as “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”

This celebration of life coincides with the anniversary of Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court’s 1973 landmark decision that allows a pregnant woman to abort her unborn child. Since then over 61 million unborn lives have been snuffed out, according to the American Life League.

“Every human life is a gift to the world,” the President wrote. “Whether born or unborn, young or old, healthy or sick, every person is made in the holy image of God.” Continue reading →

Abortion Actually Is…

You see some things on Facebook that make you wince. Others cause you to shake your head in disbelief. And some elicit a chuckle. This one makes me sick.

A pro-choice organization, which means pro-abortion, recently mounted a new campaign claiming that abortion is a selfless act of love.

The National Women’s Law Center is seeking to “reframe” the abortion debate with their campaign “Abortion Actually.” According to their website they intend to “fight back against the assault on abortion rights in our country.” Continue reading →
