Your turn: Being anti-abortion is not a war on women, it's a war on destroying the unborn
Our society is growing increasingly hostile and intolerant toward Judeo-Christian values and principles and the mainstream media seemingly fully supports that intolerance.
We have degenerated into eliminating almost all moral restraints with the progressive "woke" concepts of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity.
Biblical morality is not acceptable under DEI. Christians are being relegated to the closet and are stereotyped as intolerant bigots. The response to Judeo-Christian thought is to silence the messenger.

We live in a world where the pervasiveness of immorality is becoming more prevalent every day.
God has been taken out of our educational institutions, the public arena, and even out of many of our houses of worship as religious denominations accept immoral lifestyles.
The destruction of the innocent unborn has become more widespread. Is there any hope? Yes, I believe there is depending on the choices we make in the future.
We must choose to circumvent the leftist ideologies that threaten our children, our families, our constitution, and the sanctity of innocent life.
We are living in a generation of "entitled" abortion-rights who demonstrate condescending attitudes toward those who want to protect the innocent viable unborn. The mainstream media and the abortion-rights advocates have twisted this issue into a "war-on-women."
Being anti-abortion is not a war on women. It is a war against destroying the unborn.
When we state that human life begins at conception, is that just a Christian belief or a scientific fact? Politicians and abortion-rights advocates are not the ones who should be answering that question.
The ungodly redefine the humanity of the unborn and when life begins. Planned Parenthood's goal is not women's health care, it is increasing their profits through abortion.
Abortion is the fourth most common cause of death in the U.S. President Biden projects himself as a good Catholic as he promotes unrestricted abortion in order to gain votes. He pays student loans in spite of the Supreme Court's restrictions in order to gain votes.
Biden opened the borders to illegal immigrants by telling them to "come" for the same reason: future Democrat voters.
The original Hebrew in the Old Testament explicitly states that we are to do no murder. It does not read "Thou shalt not kill." Destroying a human life in order to save an innocent life is not murder. Ending a human life in a legal execution for a horrendous crime is not murder.
Ending a human life out of anger, during a felony, or for the convenience of the mother is murder. Face it: wrong choices have consequences.
Do not be deceived by the statement, "my body, my choice." That is ignoring the fact that there are two bodies involved. All women should be treated with dignity and respect, but so too should the innocent viable unborn.
Who determines when the unborn are viable? I believe our God does, but so too should common sense. I cannot understand why so many women, including Christians, care less about ending innocent life in the womb.
The unborn babies are not catfish, nor are they a bag of worms. That unborn baby has human DNA. I believe that women should indeed have reproductive choice—so I guess that makes me an abortion-rights advocate person also.
They should have the choice, whenever possible, not to become pregnant. When they do become pregnant, I do not want them to become indifferent to the life within their womb. That life has value, and the abortion procedures are horrific.
Killing that life is a repulsive and atrocious act.
Those who are for destroying that life are disconnected from the reality of just how terrible and disgusting the methodology of abortion is.
We must stop living for our own self-gratification and start living lives more acceptable to our creator who stated in scripture, "If my people shall humble themselves and turn from their evil (and immoral) ways, then I will heal their land."
Our land needs healing in many areas. Killing the innocent is just one of them.
