Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion in our nation. Since then, approximately 50,000,000 pregnancies have been terminated via abortion procedures. Abortion is not a political issue. It is a spiritual issue. We, as Christians, are to be the heralds of the Gospel, proclaiming Christ's forgiveness to those that have chosen an abortion; his guidance for those contemplating ending a pregnancy; and a voice for the rights of the unborn, those who are the most fragile of our society. For those that believe in the non-existent barrier between biblical principles and political positions, please consider the following ad that ran in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, sponsored by Pastor John Piper and Bethlehem Baptist Church. It was simple yet pointed:
"I am personally pro-life. But politically pro-choice." - Pontius Pilate
More importantly, meditate on the words of the psalmist, found in Psalms 139:32:
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb."
