A Child's Right to Life
The discussion of who a Christian should vote for must begin in determining where the candidate stands on a child’s right to life. We are pro-life, We are anti-abortion, and we stand for the right to life of every child. We know that Proverbs 31:8 tells us “Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.”
The science of embryology overwhelmingly backs the fact that the starting point for a human life comes into existence with the formation of the one-celled zygote. In other words, it is a scientific fact that life begins at the point of conception.
"On the other hand, a human being is the immediate product of fertilization. As such he/she is a single-cell embryonic zygote, an organism with 46 chromosomes, the number required of a member of the human species. This human being immediately produces specifically human proteins and enzymes, directs his/her own further growth and development.” as human, and is a new, genetically unique, newly existing, live human individual."[1]
In addition, studies have shown that the fetal heartbeat begins at 21-days after fertilization, but Planned Parenthood states that they recommend waiting until the fifth or sixth week to perform the act. It’s truly appalling and disheartening that in 2020, we are still killing babies the same way they did in ancient days by the worship of Moloch. Moloch was a Canaanite god, who at times was illegitimately worshiped by Israel by way of rulings from apostate kings.
"Moloch, which was made of brass; and they heated him from his lower parts; and his hands being stretched out, and made hot, they put the child between his hands, and it was burnt; when it vehemently cried out; but the priests beat a drum, that the father might not hear the voice of his son, and his heart might not be moved.”[2]
It’s interesting to consider that in 2019, Senate Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which stated that the doctor would have to do what they could to preserve the life of a child who survived an abortion. Only three Democrat senators, Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Doug Jones, D-Ala. voted in favor of the anti-infanticide bill. Every Democratic senator who decided to run for president in 2020 voted “nay.”
Human dignity matters. We are heading down a very slippery slope when a political party is creating an arbitrary standard of human worthiness. But the Democrats are doing just that. It’s the reason they have no problem with the fact that 67% of babies in the United States that are likely to be born with Down syndrome are terminated. This kind of blatant disregard for human life can easily extend to other special needs. The church needs to wake up.
