abortion

recently I reconnected with an old high school buddy. eventually, the subject of politics came up. I discovered that my old high school buddy is a "dyed in the wool" liberal democrat. 

I'm neither republican nor democrat. I believe that george washington's prediction that political parties could be the undoing of our country has come true. 

hillary clinton said during the 2016 campaign for POTUS that a baby can be killed as long as the baby hasn't exited the birth canal. but for a few inches and a couple of minutes, the child goes from being not protected from murder by law to being protected from murder by law. does this make sense to you? 

I am not an apologist for the catholic church. on the contrary, I believe that had my parents been able to know what was going on in the catholic church during my lifetime, then my siblings and I wouldn't be catholic today. I consider myself Christian--not catholic. 

both my high school buddy and I had daily religion class all through grade school and high school. it's a mystery to me how my old friend, who had the same catholic education that I did, doesn't think that abortion is murder. however, I didn't need the catholic church for me to know that abortion is murder. just a bible, God-given intellect and a conscience. 

from 1970 through 2015, 45,789,558 abortions have been reported to the CDC. (Abortion statistics in the United States - Wikipedia) as of july 1, 2018, california, our most populous state, had an estimated population of 39,557,045. (List of states and territories of the United States by population - Wikipediacan you imagine more than the entire population of california being killed by abortion?

I don't condemn those women who had abortions. I'm a sinner--a grievous sinner. only God knows what's in our hearts. I do know that our merciful Lord, the spotless Lamb of God, took the just punishment for our sins upon Himself so that we could be worthy to enter the kingdom of God. if we are sorry for our sins and beg for God's forgiveness, then our merciful God will forgive us.
