Abortion, Sex, and Elections
Bereans:
This week's elections in several states were exceedingly disappointing. In Ohio, voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that removes any restrictions on abortion. This overturned several laws the state legislature had passed to protect children. It even specifically outlaws any attempt to inform parents when a minor has an abortion. This was in a state that is very "conservative" in its regular voting patterns. Additionally, in very conservative Kentucky and moderate Virginia, pro-life candidates were defeated as their liberal opponents attacked their pro-life stances. All of these losses follow very similar losses in the 2022 elections, as well.
The sad reality is that the sacrifice of children for the sake of convenience has been embraced by our society as a whole. We have a thoroughly secularized culture that hates God and embraces the culture of death (Psalm 109:5). A shocking portion of the population considers the "right" to kill an unborn child as the number one issue that determines their vote. Further, politicians are embarrassed and afraid to speak the truth about what abortion is, so they don't even attempt to fight back for fear that they might offend someone. The reality is that they do not fear God, but fear man instead (Proverbs 1:7; 29:25).
Below are two links that help put some perspective on this. First is a Matt Walsh video that hits the nail on the head about the state of the country and the political messaging around abortion. It's very insightful, but he does use a couple of coarse words. The second is an opinion piece from World Magazine that deals with why Americans would approve of this barbaric act. Hint...it has more to do with sex than it does with children.

Americans Love Sex More than Life

Pray for our country and for the lives of the innocent. God hates the sacrifice of children (2 Chronicles 28:3; 33:6; Jeremiah 19:5; Ezekiel 20:31). These are dark times that are getting darker.
Grace and peace to you,
