The real problem with the debate about abortion is that those who have a vested interest in having abortion continue unhindered (for whatever reason), have been allowed to frame the nature of life before the moment of birth. The natural inclination of the human mind, or that innate sense of God’s law that is written in the hearts of all, would be to assume that if a living human baby comes out of its mother’s body, it was likely a living human baby for its entire existence.

Unfortunately, pro-abortion advocates have been successful in casting doubt on what it is that is inside a woman's womb. The absurdity of this condition is that people are now confused, and have been led to doubt that innate knowledge of good and evil. Many have some mystical notion, that a prenatal child is something akin to Jack’s magic beans; that at some unknown moment in time, poof… a blob of tissue becomes a human being.

Here we can clearly see the great lie that springs from those who have chosen evil over good. The content of a woman’s uterus has never been a magic bean. It has never been a puppy, a kitten, not even a gerbil. At conception, when the genetic materials from two human beings combine, a third human life is ignited.

That life may burn for only a day or it may burn for 100 years. Regardless of how long it lasts, it is a human life, nevertheless. This truth is naturally understood by every person regardless of his or her religious convictions, knowledge or ignorance of God or of the Good News of Jesus Christ.

A man or woman ignorant of the existence of the modern world, because they live in some prehistoric, undiscovered jungle, still has this knowledge ingrained in their being; perhaps, the result of that forbidden fruit, devoured in the Garden of Eden despite God’s warning not to do so; the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

There is a strong force at play, working tirelessly to evil’s ends. The Vast Left-Wing Culture of Death wants nothing less than to convince you that abortion is not death, but is really a means to extend life. That message is just as absurd and deceitful as was the lie told by the serpent to the woman in the Garden.
