The Conquering Truth

Is Abortion the Answer for a 10 Year Old?


Listen Later

In early July, a story broke about a 10-year-old Ohio girl who had been raped and had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion after Ohio’s heartbeat law went into effect. The story stirred up controversy from the beginning, partly due to a scarcity of details and some inaccurate reporting, but a few things became evident. Conservative leaders were generally hesitant to say that the baby should not be killed in this situation (this is obviously not true of everyone, but we spent some time looking at responses from major figures and we think that’s a fair summary). This is partly due to Roe v Wade being the effective law of the land for almost 50 years, with the result being that almost every part of American life has been trained to consider abortion as a potential solution for the “problem” of an unwanted pregnancy. And because we are moral beings and we all fundamentally understand that abortion is murder, it means that as a society we have had to tell ourselves many lies and have had to ignore many other sins to sell ourselves on the idea that abortion is good for women and good for our culture. But this goes even deeper because God says that the church is the light of the world and the salt of the earth. The American church is not comfortable with the fact that God opens and closes the womb in every instance. We may reject abortion, but we have become very comfortable with the idea of family planning and choosing how many children we will have. The church needs to understand that it is hypocritical to expect the unsaved world to have faith that God caused a specific instance of rape to result in pregnancy and that a 10-year-old girl should carry the child to term when the people of God are unwilling to bear and raise the children than our Lord and Savior would give to us. We should expect the judgment of God upon us for our hypocrisy if we are not willing to repent. We also discuss some of the lesser reported details of this case as they demonstrate how our willingness to murder children has caused us to ignore and cover up other sins that we as a society do not want to confront.
