I am a father of two and the grandfather of 12. I have 10 granddaughters and two grandsons. The oldest is 16 and the youngest has just been born. Every one of them is a living human being capable of feeling, pain, laughter, joy, thinking, happiness, sorrow, likes, dislikes.
Some days they are happy some days they are sad. Some days they are boisterous and some days they quiet and reflective. Some days they cope with everything that is thrown at them and some days they struggle.
Some like cats as pets and some like dogs. Some like swimming and some like singing. Everyone likes to eat on a regular basis and everyone likes special treats. Everyone likes naughty things like chocolate and ice cream and everyone hates vegetables.
So how did they acquire these various attributes and interests? It is definitely not in the womb as we are told by some people who cannot face the truth they are not human until they are born. The question is one minute before they are born they are not human, they are a blob and one minute later when they come out of the womb they are human and they suddenly acquire all the attributes that make them what they are.
One minute that are a blob and the next they are human and have blonde hair. They are thin or fat. They have features like eyes, ears, nose mouth, hands, and feet and the bit that makes them a boy or a girl.
So how did all these features appear in the twinkling of an eye? Who or what decides they are blonde or brown. Blue-eyed or green. Cheeky or quiet. Brainy or dumb. Academic or sportsman. And so on and so on.
You may say that is not true. We don't claim that they are not human until they are born. The fact is some do as they have told me that. And others say they don't know when they become human. Others say after three months. others say after six months. Or, in other words, you pays your money and you make your choice.
In other words, when you invent so-called facts that are not facts, you are at all sixes and sevens.
What is the Christian supposed to believe? The 10 commandments tell us you are not supposed to kill anyone. Point one.
It tells us that God knows us in the womb. Not know it in the womb. Point two.
It tells us that if anyone puts a stumbling block in the way of any of these little ones thrown him in the river with a deadweight around their necks. Point three.
At the moment in some countries, it is OK to murder babies in the womb. In others, it is not. So who is right?
Armchair critics say that the baby in the womb is just a blob so it is OK to kill it.
Abortionists admit that every abortion kills a baby.
Thank God none of my grandchildren went under the knife. They are all precious. In fact, if I had known what fun they were going to be, I would have had them first.
