Abortion is murder, plain and simple,
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and
have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may
forget, I will not forget you!" —Isaiah 49:15
"Children are a
heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him." —Psalm
127:3
"Did not he who made me in the womb make
them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?"
—Job 31:15
"Thou shalt not kill." —Exodus
20:13 (one of the
10 commandments)
Abortion is legal in the UK if a medically trained person performs
the abortion, however, it's illegal if a person carries out a
self-abortion, that is, they abort their own baby. Self Abortion is
rising and takes the form of ordering 'abortion pills' online. For some
reason, as we'll see in the cases that follow, judges describe
self-abortion as 'robbing a baby of the life (she) was about to have'.
It is exactly the same thing - robbing of life, whether you do it
yourself or someone does it for you.
Self Abortion is illegal
In most of the UK - England, Scotland and Wales, it's illegal to have
an abortion unless under the medical supervision of doctor(s)
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/24-25/100/crossheading/attempts-to-procure-abortion
'Every woman, being with child, who, with intent to procure
her own miscarriage, shall unlawfully administer to herself
any poison or other noxious thing, or shall unlawfully use any
instrument or other means whatsoever with the like intent, and
whosoever, with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman,
whether she be or be not with child, shall unlawfully
administer to her or cause to be taken by her any poison or other
noxious thing, or shall unlawfully use any instrument or
other means whatsoever with the like intent, shall be guilty
of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable . .
. to
be kept in penal servitude for life . . .'
Self Abortion is increasing
This fairly recent article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38960437 talks
about the growing use of ordering abortion pills online, for the
intention of administering a self-abortion. There is an 'abortion pill'
which people have been purchasing online, and the numbers of these pills
being intercepted has grown, and is growing.
'Government
figures show 375 doses, sent to addresses in England, Wales, and
Scotland, were seized in 2016, compared with just five in 2013.
Taking the pills while pregnant without medical approval is
illegal in the UK.'
And under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 - the punishment for
taking the pill, in theory, can be as high as a life sentence.
Case Studies of women who have been prosecuted
There are two women who have been prosecuted for self-terminating
their pregnancies, ie self abortion, let's have a quick look at the two
cases.
Natalie Towers
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-35121524
'A
woman who used poison to terminate her pregnancy has been jailed for
two and a half years.
Natalie
Towers, 24, of Adams Street, Shildon, County Durham, had earlier
admitted a charge of administering poison with intent to procure a
miscarriage while 32-34 weeks pregnant.'
In this situation, the poor lady in question procured the substance
online, with the intent of self-administering an abortion, and it came
to light with the authorities as the lady started to feel unwell after
taking the poison, and contacted the emergency services for an
ambulance. Sadly the baby was lost. Here is how the judge described
the verdict,
'Judge Mr. Justice Jay gave her credit for pleading guilty but
said she must serve a custodial sentence.
"This
offence does involve extinguishing a life about to begin,"
he said.'
It's a horrible situation - the baby has been killed, the mother is full
of remorse, regret - in her own words - 'hating herself'
This is
murder.
Sarah Catt
'A
woman who aborted her own baby in the final phase of her pregnancy has
been jailed for eight years.
Sarah Louise Catt, 35, of Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire, took a
drug when she was full term, 39 weeks pregnant, to cause an early
delivery.'
In this situation, the lady in question purchased the poison online, and
expressed NO remorse, indeed, according to the judge, made a 'deliberate
and calculated decision'
to end her pregnancy. The criminal investigation revealed that the lady
first of all claimed she had a legitimate abortion, then admitted to taking
the drug while her husband was away (her husband was not aware of the
pregnancy), delivering the baby boy by herself at home and burying the body
- however, she has never revealed the location of the body.
This is murder.
On sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice Cooke stated that,
'Catt had
robbed the baby of the life it was about to have and
said the seriousness of the crime lay between manslaughter and murder.'
This is true of all abortions - every baby is being robbed of a life 'it' - he or she is
about to have!
The lady in question was described by the investigating officer, Chief Insp.
Kerring Smith as,
'..more than capable of being extremely deceitful in her actions
Catt has proved to be cold and calculating and has shown no remorse or
given an explanation for what she did.'
In both cases - murder was committed, deceit taken place (not letting others
know eg the father, not revealing the truth (lies) - one sin REALLY does
lead to another. Even so on the second case, the lady in question did not
even express any remorse! How can one, even one such as me like others, who
are full of sin, saved by God's grace, yet still, fathom such wickedness? I
cannot.
Perplexing Part
Most of these situations are perplexing enough - but what IS perplexing is,
how is it NOT murder when a medical doctor administers the drug? But it IS
murder when someone who is NOT a medical doctor administers the drug?
Here we have both cases - in each case the Judge describes the child AS a
CHILD! - EXTINGUISHING A LIFE according to Judge Mr. Justice Jay, and
ROBBING THE BABY OF THE LIFE IT WAS ABOUT TO HAVE according to Judge Mr.
Justice Cooke, but then, when it's done by a medical doctor, it's no longer
a BABY, a LIFE, but a 'PROCEDURE', a 'COLLECTION OF CELLS'???!!!!!!
People, whether a doctor administers the poison or not, that doesn't change
what is growing inside a womb, it IS a baby, and it is murder.
Other women who have purchased the abortion pill
"I was
hoping to have a termination in the comfort of my own home without
judgmental eyes and without worrying about my husband knowing.
I fear what would happen if he did," one woman said.
So here we have a situation where the lady KNOWS that it is wrong - but
DOESN'T care - the priorities listed are - what will other people think of
me? What will my husband say or do? It is all ME ME ME which is NOT an
advertisement to support the abortion procedure but sadly, an example of
self-centeredness. There is nothing about the life of the baby, would this
lady like to have been aborted? I think not. Nothing about how her husband
would feel - how can one expect to have a healthy relationship with their
life long partner without honesty? It is a sad situation indeed.
Another, a foreign student living in the UK, said she felt "desperate".
'I
cannot afford this country's prices of procedure, and the place in line
for supported abortions is just too long and not guaranteed.
I feel
absolutely horrible and desperate.'
This is a sad situation, however, pregnancies do not just happen. People
make mistakes - or decisions they would rather not make, of course, but as a
person, as an ADULT, we have to live by those mistakes. A person who sleeps
in for work after a late night out might risk losing that job, a person who
drives whilst drunk risks killing someone, losing their licence. These are
consequences of ones actions. The reality however, is that in the UK, mothers
do receive financial support from the government in the form of
various benefits. The lady in question might not have had the life she
would like - ie being able to suit oneself, but it is a justification which
if to be honest, is selfishness. People WILL get by with
what they have. If you bring up a baby well that child WILL love you, and
the child will be GLAD of life. It's not for us to chose.
Pro-Abortionists, Politicians Response
Ann Furedi, Bpas (Leading provider of abortion clinics in the UK):
'They
are not criminals deserving of life imprisonment...'
Yes, they are!
She said on 13 March:
Labour MP Ms
Johnson is proposing a Ten Minute Rule Bill that would repeal the
relevant sections of the Offences Against the Person Act and
decriminalise abortion.
Few people REALLY cares about the minorities, those without a voice, there
is no-one without a voice as much as the unborn child, yet, people claim to
care about minorities, those without a voice, but the root of abortion is
selfishness (and most 'help' that people offer in general). It's a sad
situation.
A point put forward is that abortion protects against 'rapists, incest etc'
but the reality is that such situations only account for 0.01% of abortions,
the truth of the matter is that over 99% of abortions - of 'unwanted
pregnancies' are the result of peoples bad decisions and then selfishness to
not interrupt their life, to give up their 'Friday nights at the pub', to
deny that it's murder and instead call the baby 'cells, tubes etc.' to try
to justify or hide the reality, but, God knows what's in the heart
Conclusion
Abortion IS murder - we know that from the Bible, common sense, even the
legal system knows it.
For judges to state that self abortion is 'extinguishing
a life about to begin' and that it robs 'the baby of the life it was about
to have' and for it NOT be disagreed with at the sentencing, shows that
everyone knows abortion is wrong.
There's no difference in killing a baby whether you have a medical degree or
not, it's still the exact same
thing, the baby is poisoned and killed.
This is why there is so much propaganda to support abortion,
and so much hatred towards those who disagree with it - it's to try to
dull the senses to the reality of murder, and to shout down common sense
so that the individual who is doing the shouting tries not to hear, and
so that others should not speak.
They even get to the stage where they think they are doing God's work by
murdering and opposing those who want to protect the little lifes,
"..yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think
that he doeth God service" John 16:2
"Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen." Romans 1:25
