Death challenged

Abortion is what one person would describe as a "choice" and another would call an epidemic. In this heated election time the issue of abortion seems to take front and center for most Americans who share in a faith that something higher than themselves exists. I had the pleasure to experience a very unbiased, well-rounded sermon on this issue this morning. I heard strong words of conviction, personal stories of experience and Biblical truths in relation to abortion. So after ingesting this valuable information and taking the time to digest it, I have some questions, calls to action and definition's of what I see as the root of this tragedy in our society. I have heard it referred to as the spirit of abortion, but I say it is not just a spirit of abortion, but a spirit of poverty, neglect, prejudice, ignorance, lies and more. I argue that a president alone cannot change the fate of the babies future in our nation, but I argue that a renewed education on all the roots and causes of this issue is needed. I call people to stop acting on this epidemic every 4 or 8 years when it is election time. Not to say that we do not still share in the same conviction about abortion, but doesn't seem like the conversations over it, what causes it, and how to end it arise a lot more often when a presidential debate and campaign is happening? I call out to people to start researching and learning about everything that ignites this action to abort. We are at a time when thinking Pro-Choice and Pro-Life are at war with each other is a hindrance. We must start working together to change the tides of abortion, to pray, think and only vote on this issue is no longer enough. Americans and beyond must take action from the grassroots to the Government. I believe it starts in the cities and towns across America with a movement that unveils all of the causes that ignite the choice to abort. When the root causes and not just legislature are exposed we can really start to change the way America and the world views abortion. Then we can start to educate the world on what truly causes one person to deceive them self into this "choice". I truly believe that supporting local pregnancy centers, volunteering and educating yourself on the truths of abortion is only one step. We must continue to pray for repentance as a country and for the renewed actions of our government in supporting these centers, increase of adoptions, support for poverty stricken women, families and a fresh look at faith-based initiatives that actually work to improve our country (unlike this one). There have been steps made towards these goals (maybe with this one), but as usual the fog from other factors soon set in and the focus on the importance of this support for these initiatives shifts to other issues. I ask you, what can be more important than stopping the progress of abortion in our society today?
