Pro-Choice… Really?

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. (Gen 2:7)

The Declaration of Independence states, "they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It also states that these rights are "self evident" and that they constitute the "Laws of Nature." These principles are taken directly from the Bible.

The Law of Nature can be viewed in Romans 2:14-16. That our Creator is the Author of life is seen in Genesis 2:7. That God, not government, grants liberty is seen in Galatians 5:1. The "pursuit of happiness" is found in Ecclesiastes 3:13.

Notice that in The Declaration of Independence, the first unalienable right is not Liberty but Life.

During the Super Bowl between the Saints and the Colts on Feb 7, 2010, Focus on the Family has purchased a 30-second spot at a cost of $3M to present the story of Ann Tebow who gave birth to her son, Tim despite being advised to have an abortion. Tim was her 5th child and she was terribly sick during the pregnancy as she and her husband were in the Philippines on a missionary trip.

Tim Tebow won the Heisman Trophy and the National Championship as a quarterback with the Florida Gators in 2008. Tim wears scripture verses on the black patch beneath his eyes on gameday.

As of this writing, there is an amazing controversy surrounding this ad. People and organizations who call themselves Pro-Choice have been outraged that CBS would even air this ad during the Super Bowl.

Last night on the O’Reilly Factor, Bill had as a guest, Jehmu Greene of the Women’s Media Center. Their position on the Tebow ad is this: “The Women’s Media Center, along with a united front of organizations dedicated to reproductive rights, tolerance, and social justice, has launched a campaign calling CBS to immediately pull an anti-choice advertisement sponsored by Focus on the Family to air during Super Bowl XLIV.”

Anti-choice? Hmmm. Didn’t Ann Tebow have a choice? Didn’t she choose to have her son? Isn’t it ironic that supporters of Pro-Choice are all up in arms when someone makes a “choice” to have a baby instead of killing it. They are not Pro-Choice; they are Pro-Death.

On their website, Planned Parenthood advocates the following:

• removing restrictions on abortion access
• expanding the number of abortion providers
• ensuring access to confidential health care for young women

Removing restrictions and expanding the number of abortion providers sounds like the choice they want you to make is death not life. Life is first of our God-given unalienable right.

Personally, I don’t like the halftime shows at the Super Bowl. So, I don’t watch them. If you don’t like the ad, don’t watch it. But they will watch it and complain so more. According to Romans, they have already been turned over to their depraved mind. (Romans 1:28-32 NKJV)

Pro-Choice… Really? and that’s the word of The Day.
