Abortion 4

“…only God can decide life and death….That is why abortion is suscha  terrible sin. You are not only killing life, but putting self before God; yet people decide who has to live and who has to die. They wnat to make themselves almighty God. They want to take the power of God in their hands. They want to say, “I can do without God. I can decide.” That is the most devilish thing that a humand hand can do.”

“One of the major signs of decadence in the Roman Empire was that its unwanted babies were ‘exposed’, that is, abandoned and left to die. Can we claim that contemporary western society is any less decadent because it consigns its unwanted babies to the hospital incinerator instead of the local rubbish dump? …reverence for human life is an indispensable characteristic of a humane and civilized society.”
John Stott: Issues Facing Christians Today p283
