On January 22, 1973 the United States Supreme Court struck down every state law nationwide that restricted abortions. Through that decision a door was open that made abortion on demand for any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy the law of the land. For 43 years abortion has been a legal right that has resulted in the deaths of over 57 million innocent unborn children.
Many religious people consider this to be a political issue while many politicians consider this to be a religious issue. I want to mention that according to what the Bible says, it seems that God also has something to say about this issue.

In Deuteronomy 30:19 the people are encouraged to make a choice. “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”

-We Are Created In God’s Image
In Genesis we read that God created man in His image and breathed into him the breath of life. Man is not just another animal but a unique creation of God that not only was made in His image but received the breath of God to receive life.

-God Has A Plan For Your Life
Psalm 139 tells us that God saw us being formed in our mother’s womb and from the moment of conception God had a plan for our life. Ephesians mentions that we are God’s workmanship or masterpiece and that He has things planned for us to do.

When God says to “Choose Life” it means that we are to trust God’s Word as being true.
Proverbs 6:17 tells us that God considers hands that shed innocent blood as being something He hates.
How much more innocent can you be than to be an innocent unborn baby? God does not hate the sinner but God does hate the sin. God wants us to “Choose Life”. To truly “Choose Life” is to choose to accept Jesus Christ as “the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
