The Big Lie

I call abortion the Big Lie.

It's actually formed of many smaller lies, each one equally destructive.

Perhaps you have believed some of them. Here are a few:

It's only a piece of tissue.
The risk is minimal.
In a few hours, your problem will be gone.
There are no lasting effects.
It's not a baby until it can live outside the womb.
The child is better off dead than unwanted.
You aren't able to care for a child.
You are alone.
You can never be forgiven.

Some of these lies are told by those who make a living off of abortion, some are told by family and friends (concerned for you and/or themselves), and some are told to the depths of your soul by an enemy who seeks to use your choice to destroy you.

Today, I learned that the legalization of the Big Lie is actually rooted in deception. The case of Roe v. Wade is, in itself, a big lie.  - http://liveactionnews.org/7-things-didnt-know-jane-roe-roe-v-wade/

Please don't believe the lies. Here are some truths:

At 5 weeks, or 3 weeks after conception, a baby's heart starts beating and the brain begins to form.
While early abortions carry low physical risk, the emotional and spiritual risk is high for all.
The lasting effects of abortion cause all kinds of issues from shame to depression to suicide.
God ordains life and life begins at conception.
Every child is created for a purpose and should be celebrated and nurtured.
There are many resources for those needing support - financial, mental, physical, emotional.
You are never alone.
God's grace and mercy know no bounds. His love is extravagant and He loves you no matter what!
