Why Women Have An Abortion

> 50% said they didn’t want to be a single parent or had problems

> 66% said they could not afford the child

> 75% said that it would interfere with their lives

> 95% said for reasons of convenience.

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop said that in his 35 years in medicine he has “never seen one case where abortion was necessary to save a woman’s life.”

President Ronald Reagan once said he had read in the Washington Post about a young woman named Victoria. She was with child and said, “In this society we save whales, we save timber wolves, bald eagles, and coke bottles. Yet everyone wanted me to throw away my baby.”

The penalty for killing an unborn eagle in this country is a fine of up to $5000 and up to five years in prison. But, the killing of an unborn baby is not considered a crime at all, as long as the mother approves.

Where is the value for human life?

❶. We Are Valued Because God Made Us.

A. It was created by God.

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Col. 1:16

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

❷. WE ARE VALUED EVEN BEFORE WE ARE BORN

PS. 139:13-16, Jer. 1:4-5

Psalm 139:13–16 (AV)

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

v. 15 curiously wrought – woven, embroider – According to plan

v. 16 all my members were written – all my days

❸ WE ARE VALUED BECAUSE GOD KNOWS US

Psalm 139:1–4 (AV)

1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

❹. WE ARE VALUED BECAUSE WE ARE ETERNAL

Isaiah 46:3–4 (AV)

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

A. Life exists before we enter the material world.

B. There is life at new birth.

John 3:3

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

C. Our earthly life is simply a prelude to eternity.

Hebrews 9:27

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

1 John 5:13

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Now What Should We Do About Abortion

2. Work & pray for a constitutional amendment

3. Teach sexual morality in the home

4. Have more compassion for the unwed mother

5. Speak out

6. Don’t be swayed by abortion arguments

7. Pray for America’s Revival

Conclusion: The one thing that God values more than life itself is New Life in Christ.
