Murder Is Not Moral

Willie J. Parker

A man named Willie J. Parker claimed that he had a "conversion" and that he could work in a "moral and spiritual argument" when on the topic of abortion. He stated, "It felt as life-altering for me to move from being unable to do abortions to being able to do them as it did to move from being an unbeliever to a believer". The fact that this man thinks that God is calling him to perform abortions makes me sick. To put it simply, abortion is murder and that's the truth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Exodus 20:13, it says, "You shall not murder". Does this man that claims to have had a "religious" calling to perform abortions really think that God wants him to perform an act that he clearly said not to do? I thought only Satan tempted us to do things that went against God's wishes. I could be wrong, but I'm not. 

Parker also said that he does not think the life of a fetus is as important as the life of a female. He said, "In the moral scheme of things, I don't hold fetal life and the life of a woman equally". I'm sorry, but in the "MORAL" scheme of things? MORAL? Does he really think that it is morally correct and okay to help women kill their unborn babies? The decision to consider one life more important than the other is not at all a moral decision. All human life is important. No matter what stage it is at, whether it is at the moment or conception or 90 years into the journey of life, a human is a human and it is important. If there is a heartbeat, then it is a living breathing human created by God. 

I have always thought that abortion was murder. I have always thought that a baby was a baby from the moment of the conception, not from the moment it comes out of the womb. Even if a woman does not want children or she can't afford a child and she accidentally gets pregnant, I still think that abortion is wrong. Let's say there's two women, one is 40 years old and married and one is 16 years old with a boyfriend. If the 40 year old woman chooses to keep the child, it could harm her health because it's considered dangerous to give birth past the age of 35. If the 16 year old chooses to keep the baby, it'll bring shame onto her because she's only a teenager. Which one do you think would be more encouraged to get an abortion? The 16 year old girl. The truth is, neither one should get an abortion. Yes, it could damage the health of the 40 year old woman and it could damage the reputation of the 16 year old girl. But those aren't excuses to kill one of God's creations. I believe that if a baby is conceived, then it should be allowed to live and not be murdered before it even gets the chance to live it's life.
